How To Build A Fold Down Wall Desk | DIY Murphy Desk

Ойын-сауық

Today I'm showing you how I built my own version of a DIY folding wall desk (or, Murphy desk)! While it functions as a desk with storage when folded down, it looks like an art piece when folded up and stored away! This is a great option for homes that are in need of creative desks and space saving work-from-home areas.
Even better, I was able to build this desk in just a few short days with the help of Walmart and their DIY & Done section of their website! This is a great beginner build and was so much to make!
This project is sponsored by Walmart.

    Great idea! Very efficient use of space. I’ll borrow the design in a cubby under the stairs for a little one. Cork on the face for a pin board. When staining wood, sanding to 220 is a personal choice. Planer waves are a pet peeve and stain highlights them.

    This is BRILLIANT! I love this! I built a little desk for my needs when I started working from home 2.5 years ago due to Covid. 2.5 years later, still working from home. I need more room in our extra bedroom/office, so thought I'd buy a murphy desk, then I saw how expensive they are! Found this awesome video and gave me a few ideas on how I can transform my already built desk in to a murphy desk by disassembling it and adding a few extras. Thank you!

    beautiful work, thank you for sharing, when installing a gas strut it needs to be attached with the cylinder the highest point not the shaft. This is because the Gas Strut cylinder houses a small amount of oil in charge of keeping the seal lubricated and oiling the shaft as it passes through the seal.

    I’m not sure if it was just the angle of the camera, but the table seemed to hang down past the 90 degree point… I wonder if moving the gas struts out a bit further on the table would have helped to correct this?

    Great design. I am looking to build a MAME cabinet that can fold away so I will definitely take your tips and ideas and modify slightly for my build. Thank you for sharing.

    I don't want to take anything away from DIY Huntress, but for exactly a MAME cabinet Alexandre Chappel has made exactly this here kzread.info/dash/bejne/gXZsuMOud6jcoco.html

    Certainly a space saving solution & a choice idea for using up materials 🍻👍

    Great build! Picked up the plans for this today to build with my daughter. The desktop is going to be black melamine that I'll be carving the underside on the CNC instead of painting. The design is probably going to be BTS related because it's for a 13 year old girl lol. It's ok though, I'm glad that I get to share woodworking with her.

    Came across your channel while searching for types of corner desk to buy. After watching this it made me want to build my own. Subscribed!! 🤗🤗

    I like this project. I very well might use in my tiny cabin (yet to be built).
