- 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.c... But checkout this version , it has a remote control and relays : s.click.aliexp...
- 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
Very nice. Love that you used a single piece of plywood. I'm definitely inspired to make my own
The way you apply glue gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "hand made". Love the playful nature of it.
😂 when in hurry u get creative 😅 thank u
not even gonna lie, I dozed off while watching this video. Nice choice of music
Best video i´ve found about stand desk! looking forward to build one! tks man
incredible work I want to make a desk of this type a question what is the length of the linear actuator?
Awesome video my friend! Such a good project! The end result was amazing! Thanks for sharing this :)
thank you :) stay tuned i have many other projects that will soon be shared.
Very nice work.
Great looking desk nice ideal
I don’t have it in the budget for this much glue.
😂
That’s beautiful. You’re an absolute star 😊
thank you much appreciated
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...
@@EliasMakes Did you take down the part 2 video? ...I'm wondering how to balance the actuators! Thank you in advance!! :-)
i want to make a bigger one for a PC in a desk build ;)
:) cant wait to see the output make sure to tag me on insta so i can check it
@@EliasMakes will do
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?
great
For this adjustable table, what was the budget? How long did it take you to finish everything? I am trying to make an adjustable table from my non adjustable table while also hopefully using the same type of materials.
man, the project is very good, but I was thinking: what if one of the engines stops? in this system there would be a drop of everything above with the unevenness. how to solve this problem?
Good morning sir, do you have a blue print of it? I really want to make one but i didn't know the exact size of it
Hello ! Really cool looking desk. Could you please tell me what power tool are you using at 1:02,1:03 and 1:04 ? Also what kind of wood did you use to build this ? Thanks much
hello, those are a belt sander and a random orbit sander. the wood used here is 18mm plywood
Elias Moussa Open-DIY thanks much for responding. I re-watched the video with subtitles again. Was very well described. I am planning to just use this as a work desk to have 3 computer monitors. The mounting system will clamp to one of the corner edges. Would you think the weight balance can be achieved ? If not what improvements one could make ?
@@crtl9697 yes , i am currently using an ultra wide monitor , that is heavier than 2 screens, i am planing on doing a voice over follow up video with more details, but i was not able to find free time , i hope i can record it soon , explaining the physics behind it. plywood is one of the strongest wood sheets, it was used in aircrafts
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
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
Two actuators can causing uneven height and speed.
i hope u watch part 2 since i explain more about this phenomenon
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.
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 .
@@EliasMakes Thanks so much for the reply :) If possible, could you please post a video of this table which was made in this video, with some weights / load on it and the actuators in action?
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.
yeah, that's right foe...
Hi , that's a great diy table
Actually I am currently working on a project like yours but I have some issues with powering the actuators .
And here in this video I observe that you are using a computer power supply unit .
Can you help me with the electrical part .
Thanks .
yes sure, can you be more specific. i needed a strong 12v power supply, i only had a 750 watts pc power supply that can provide enough current to the actuators
@@EliasMakes for both of them and how do you control
them
@@saswatpatel2760 made a switch from a car window , check the description there is a link to actuators with remote controls
@@EliasMakes Thanks .
Nice job, BUT that is a lot of freaking work. So much less time and work to buy a standing frame and add your own top, or the just buy whole thing.
I saw few designs using running sliders/ drawer heavy duty sliders. Are they really required to have?
thank you very much for your interest in the project, u inspired me to make a new video with voice talking about the engineering behind the design, stay tuned hopefully i can record it by next week.
@@EliasMakes Thank you so much for the new and interesting ideas. I liked that way you handled the sync issue between the actuators. I ordered one more actuator by the way :)
If you could please add a new video to explain the exact measurements of each parts of wood used in this desk, then it would be really helpful. I'm trying to follow your design. I saw the 3D model, but have some difficulty to find out the exact measurement of some of the parts.
hopefully next week i can record one 👍
Does the $150 include the Linear Actuators? I notice they're not linked or described anywhere, what's the stroke length you chose to go with?
helo yes, i didnt put links so people dont think i have an affiliate with any website. i bought them from a chinese website and paid around 90$ (after using the 1st order coupon...) they have 40 cm stroke and around 150 kg of load each
Can we use 1 linear actuators for this ?
yes
I really need help. Please put Detail Actuator information.
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.
6:20
Wer can i buy that electrical lifter
check the video description
best making adjustable table,but hate the music damn.,after watching i feel where am i.,
hehe me 2 , this was one of my first uploads on TH-cam, i should remake it
I thought the music choice was inspired.
was looking for your cutlist... is your website down?
yes its down, need to renew the hosting, you can find it on instructables
@@EliasMakes found it, thanks. Let me know if I can help with your website. I do computers full time, carpentry for fun.
@@jaredhardman3378 thank u :) but problem was not technical, will reopen it on a free hosting
So.......do we just guess at what’s happening
or turn on the subtitles 😅 sorry one of my first videos
