The Hanging Wall Desk
 
Here's a multi-purpose kitchen Information Center that the entire family will find usefull...and it's fast and easy to build, too!

Now, set up your dado blades to cut the 1/2" wide x 3/8" deep dadoes in the sides (A) that will accept the bottom and shelf. Cut the same size (1/2" x 3/8") groove and rabbet in the back to accept the 1/2" thick shelf (H) and desk bottom (G). Using the same 1/2" dado set-up, re-adjust your table saw's depth-of-cut to 1/4" and cut the dadoes in the top surface of the bottom (G) and the bottom surface of the shelf (H) to accept the drawer partition (J).

Re-set your dado blade for a 3/4" wide cut and create a 3/8" deep stop rabbet in the sides (A) to accept the 3/4" thick back (E). This rabbet cut should stop at the bottom of the desk bottom (G). Use a chisel to square the end of your cut.

Using your bandsaw or scroll saw, cut the bottom profiles for the sides (A), then drum sand the edges smooth.

Tilt your saw table to 25 degrees and use your rip fence as a guide (see Fig 1.) to cut the beveled top edge of the back (E). Without changing your table tilt, re-set your rip fence to cut the same 25 degree bevels on the top edge of the front (F) -- and the front edge of the top strip (C).

Assemble and glue the partition (J) to the shelf (H) and bottom (G). Glue and clamp the sides (A) to the shelf and the bottom. Glue and assemble the back (E), front (F) and top strip (C) into position. Cut and assemble the stock for the drawer. Finish sand the entire project and apply the finish of your choice. Attach the top to the top strip with hinges and enjoy.
