In my case I used Walnut wood, I went to a lumberyard, and I bought it cut. They edged it super well, so I was able to glue them together to make the desk cover, without much problem, since it was edge to edge.
I used Titebond 3 glue, it's very good, if you're from Chile they sell it at Slipnaxos. It is worth 10 thousand. I bought 2 bottles and 1 was enough, I had a lot left over and I have used it to glue various things.
I used the circular saw and two cutting guides, the one shown by the teacher that you put the base on the circular saw and another one that I saw on the internet. In this case, I had bought a Black and decker, but it was not enough, so I sold it and bought a Makita. Since walnut is hard and needed very straight cuts.
I used the jigsaw, but not that much, just to make the hole in the back where the insert is and the insert in the back board. It happened to me that I had bought a bauker and it spoiled after two weeks, so I went to exchange it for a Makita.
I used a 1/4 router or trimmer and bought Chinese strawberries on the market, as it is not as long as 1/2, I unscrewed the base and used the accessory that a copier has to make the straight cutter. So that the legs would be equal in width and length.
I sanded by hand, it took time because leaving the wood smooth is difficult. But I did it with a 60, to do it as quickly and from there I went, 80, 100, 150, 180, 220 quickly. The important thing is to leave it smooth with the 60. And I followed the scotch's advice, they really last you a long time, I bought lots, but with 1 or 2 of each, that's enough.
I screwed to make the desk more stable, with pocket holes, in parts not seen.
And I used some squares on the bottom of the desk to secure. So I used a screwdriver drill.
The most important thing for me was the guides, without that, I would not have been able to cut straight. I bought a giant squad and that squad that the teacher likes that moves.
I bought the hardwax that the teacher said, but I didn't like it that much, because the walnut had a very nice color and it made it very dark. It would have been better to use OSMO 3041 I think that's it, next time, I'm going to sand the desks again and put that on it.
The legs, I glued them together with dowels, and I used a dowel guide, it is still something that I would like to learn better and do better and better, I used it where I had to glue edge with head. Since there the glue alone, it is not very reliable.
As for the presses, I made myself of wood, since they are expensive. I bought some Irwin, they are very good, 24 ". But, finally I had 4 Irwin and 6 wooden presses. The wooden ones are slower, while you are gluing, so I had to have them ready to measure when I was going to paste and of the help of my partner to help me put them on. At this point I did it like this, because I had already spent a lot on tools. At least in my case, since I made covers and glued the legs, I needed long presses.
I made 2 desks, one for my partner and one for me, they fit perfectly in a small room in the apartment.
In conclusion:
circular saw
keyhole saw
Trimmer or milling machine 1/4
Chinese strawberries from mercadolibre
Titebond glue
Sandpaper 60, 80, 100, 150, 180, 220 (Scotch for the rear)
Screwdriver / drill. I have a bauker that has worked for me for 3 years.
Big square
Combined square
4 Presses of 24 "
Sandpaper 400 varnish
Wax
@nadia_ruiz_g Thank you very much for detailing everything! It helps me a lot to write down the important points in a notepad, such as OSMO 3041, I find it a good color and among other details. Greetings from Peru. Hugs and take care of yourself.
@beatlem Hi, it cost me 10 thousand pesos 1 "x 4" board of 3 meters is expensive, but I made two matching desks. I went to the Tarapacá lumberyard in Franklin and the boards came almost perfect, I ordered them divided into 99cm each and they came almost perfect so I glued the boards, choosing the best ones in my opinion and I was able to make two boards.
