I'm a first time builder and I'm going to be attempting some carpentry. I'm very much into technology and this is going to be integrating woodwork with electrical work. I will be making a corner horse shoe desk that stands around 5'0-5'6 tall. I'm not sure why type of plywood would be good. I was reading about people gluing 3/4'' and 1/2'' to it doesn't bend. What steps should I take to make sure the desk will not break? I'm also considering using metal as support beams to hold the bottom piece and middle and top. Also going to be using a THIN piece of plywood in the back. Will also be running blue LED lights with a switch board on the inside so I can control them with a flip of a switch... Its my first project which seems like a lot to take on for my first one. After I get off of work today I'll make a sketch on how it will work the electrical and the blue prints (Since i'm new to all of this it will be done on a notebook piece of paper not grid paper.
Any tips will help!
Thanks guys
Michael
