DIY Standing Desk

How to build a diy standing desk from one sheet of plywood.
I always loved the exposed plywood look, and that is why you will see me gluing multiple pieces of plywood together, exposing the edge, to give a wider plywood edge area.
Materials :
- 1 sheet of plywood (50$)
- 2 linear actuators (108$) Link : www.banggood.com/custlink/KG3... But checkout this version , it has a remote control and relays : s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_d9d...
- Glue
- Screws
- Varnish paint and Lacquer spray
total cost around 158$

    This is what a DIY Standing Desk video should be. I've seen a lot of videos titled "Build your own standing desk" and the only thing they're building is the table top and just buying the frame for the standing desk in Amazon

    The way you apply glue gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "hand made". Love the playful nature of it.

    Amazing video! The absolute best I have found on these sit/stand desks. Quick question though, would using thinner pieces of wood for the legs be okay? I want to maximize the room under the desk for a more clean/modern look. Let me know what you think.

    hello , thank you Well you can do something even better for getting a more modern look, i wanted to do this initially but i was in a hurry so ended up not doing it : make the upper legs and bottom ones tempered, this will keep strength and give you a modern look. make sure you check part 2 video for more info rewarding actuators synchronisation...

    Table construction is the easiest part for me personally. But connecting actuators is another thing. What is the simplest PWM controller to use to make them work together? Will they work if connected to a PWM controller that only has 2 power terminals and 2 device terminals?

  • @isaaclan8029
    @isaaclan80294 жыл бұрын

    Very nice work! One question; would it work if you place the actuators right inside the outside legs, so they will push the table top directly? Thank you

  • @EliasMakes

    thank you :) you need synchronized actuators , since you will be fixing them to the table top, and in case the actuators became asynchronous they will tear the wood. check the q&a video for more details on that

    Hi it is a great nice DIY project. Would it be possible to make this table with one actuator? would it stand on one actuator? I was curious as I saw some 4 legged tables with single actuator.

  • @EliasMakes

    @EliasMakes

    4 жыл бұрын

    thank you, well in this design it is better to have 2, it can be made by moving the actuator to the middle, and it would be uncomfortable the actuator would receive some serious kicks. In the 4 legs designs the back legs are further to the back, so it is more convenient. usually using 1 actuator is easier since you don't need to worry about actuators sync, this design is build to overcome this limitation, where it is still sturdy and wont tearout when actuators are not in sync .

I would like to see how stable is it when the table is at the maximum height. I have only one actuator ( 1500 N, and 300 mm stroke) and a power supply, and a DTDP switch. I'm collecting some wood now to start off with.

    Hi Adil, its up to you to know the speed, and the weight you want it to carry, and the stroke. since that can be different from one user to another . for example my height is arround 178 cm , for my height a 40 cm stroke is perfect. you also need to know jow many kg you want it to carry , so you get the newton meter value, check the video description i have a link for the used actuators.
