Hi all,
I've had some new M&S furniture delivered recently and found that my huge desk no longer fits. I can't find any matching desks and have always had a wish to get into furniture making one day.
I work as a web developer and although there's a lot of skill to my craft, my achievements are hidden in code, where as with wood working they're there for everyone to see, so this appeals to me a lot (possibly in the wrong job.. :s)
So anyway, I want to get started, I don't have many tools, I've worked as a builders mate doing some roofing etc but not much experience working with wood other than that and wood work at school!
This is the furniture that I've got:

Id like to make a desk in the same style, I have a few ideas but id very much appreciate it if anyone could give me any tips on how to go about it, what tools I may need and how I can get the same finish?
Also what are my chances of creating a decent looking desk? I seem to be getting negative feedback from family members, but everyone has to start somewhere right?
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Don't know what's wrong with the link, perhaps you have to have more posts to use links, but you can go to marks and spencers website and just put reece in the search box to see the furniture.
