Bob....just a thought.....what is the desks value as a collectable to
a buyer? Will it buy you a nicer and bigger lathe?


Seems unlikely, this desk was sitting on the curb with a "free" note
on it. I did see one listing at an auction site with a closing bid of
$20. It's much nicer in joinery and materials than one finds at Ikea,
but it's not fine furniture by any stretch. I am hesitant to wantonly
vandalize it, which is part of my reluctance to go drilling holes in
the top. It appears to be an unadorned clerk's desk, small, plain and simple.

Thanks for writing,
