A novice can build a wood deck safely, but if you are inexperienced with large projects, or don't have a few necessary tools (miter saw, table saw, power screwdriver, power sander), it will probably be difficult, or take you a long time to accomplish. The basic design of your desk can be accomplished using online tools at Lowes.com, and then it is just finding the right length boards in the right type of wood, or other building material, that you want.
