Not something I made technically but a few weeks ago I found an old (1950's) office desk that someone had stored in a shed for 10 years. They were going to burn it but I managed to talk them into giving it to me instead. I work from home several days a week and I needed a better desk than I currently had Just got it and needed a cleanup:

I want to replace the black section on the top with a piece of vinyl/leather similar to a writing desk, I just need to find a suitable piece. A friend of mine is making a replacement drawer for the right side. I wanted to use the desk for a while to see how it "fits" before spending money, up to now I've just spent time on it.
