16 Kreg Jig Desk Ideas & Woodworking Plans

Published: Mar 16, 2021 · Modified: Aug 16, 2023 by Morgan · As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. This site contains affiliate links. ·

Want to build a desk woodworking project? The easiest way is by using pocket holes! Here are a ton of DIY desk ideas made using a Kreg Jig pocket hole jig!

Working from home is great, but working from your couch can get old.

Slumped posture is a pain in the neck (literally).

Plus, it's nice to have a bit of separation with a designated workspace so your work doesn't take over the dining room table.

If you want to build yourself a new wooden desk, an easy way to do that is to use pocket hole joinery.

The Kreg Jig is our go-to for joining two pieces of wood and we have made a ton of projects using our Kreg Jig!

Drawer open on writing desk with supplies

We recently built this desk for Sean's mom and it was so popular with y'all that I was inspired to reach out to some blogger friends and gather up a bunch more ideas for wooden desks built using a Kreg Jig!

I found plans for writing desks, computer desk, and even a corner desk! There's modern desks and farmhouse style desks, and everything in between.
