DIY | Home Office Desk & Dining Table with Monitor Lift

[@lossless4129]

what I like about this is that you actually did this DIY. not the bs DIY where they whip out a project in there $20,000 home wood shop haha

[@kriswelsh3844]

I think what’s more impressive than the result is the fact that you made this with only basic tools. No fancy workshop or expensive gear to be seen anywhere. Nicely done!

[@diyinjames]

Appreciate the support.

[@graskaas]

Brilliant project! Gave me inspiration for my own. Kudos, thank you!

@@graskaas Happy to hear, thank you.

[@MaristelaZimermam]

This is amazing ! Thank you for sharing.

[@Dhoov52]

This is a very nice build. Your entire place looks very nice. Like something in a home decor magazine or web product picture. Really nice build. Keep grinding.

New subscriber here from the Philippines. It's nice and great idea Please do more videos

[@rykerhasyounow]

Sensational idea and execution. I love the two tone and the floating monitor feel. Awesome. Didn't like the bowing though. Hopefully you'll fix that. I could see maybe a 3d printed mechanism that pushes and pulls the end monitors when you lift and lower it. 🤔

[@carlosguzman5158]

Awesome!!!😮 great job!!!

[@ryany9696]

amazing. you could even add two motors to move the monitor arms automatically in case you forget to move the monitors back to its position before it descent

[@diyinjames]

Would be a nice option for sure.

[@davidsykes2979]

Great video, gives me so many ideas for an upcoming desk build.

[@bhaveshpatel9626]

Great project! Thanks for sharing! What is the hydraulic arm thing called and where can you find them? Thanks!

[@diyinjames]

Linear actuator, take a look online.

[@conchimartinez706]

Impresionante!!!!

[@panda35rus]

u Genius xD Very good table !!!

[@sambo5103]

I'm so jealous! Fantastic build. As a stock trader I see a tripple monitor lift in my future soon.

[@fabioaugustop]

Hi, awesome build, I was wondering how do you control the limits for the linear actuator? does it automatically stops when it is fully extended / contracted or do you have to add some electric cutoff?, thanks

[@diyinjames]

Correct, the linear actuator automatically shuts off at the limit when it's fully extended or contracted. In between you can stop/regulate it with the remote control.

[@gerry1337]

Really love the design and details also the video . Terrific job. Not quite sure about the pocket screw joints in furniture board though, but a lot easier than cam-locks, how they holding up? If they are still good I might try them myself in future.

[@diyinjames]

Thank you. If you use a few more pocket screw joints than usual it will be fine, especially when you combine it with some other methods. It's been a year since the build and still holding up as new, everything works and looks fine.

[@johnhenry8228]

Any diagrams or files for this project? Great job. Very creative and professional.

[@reinharddecker4650]

Great work!

[@roberthoodjr6802]

Do you have plans on how you did it?😊

[@jonos138]

Nice. Would also be great if there was an app on your phone to act as a remote. Just incase you lost the remote somehow. Nice to have a backup. 😉👍

[@JackPyro333]

Holy crap this is good!

[@FernandoParmezaniOficial]

Amazing

[@douglaslopes1987]

I really hope this channel grows fast so that you're encouraged to create more and more videos. This was an awesome build. WELL DONE. Do you mind me asking what stroke size was that actuator and how strong is it? Thanks

[@diyinjames]

Appreciate the support! The stroke size is 400 mm / 15.75 inch, actuator torque about 70 kg / 150 lbs.

[@douglaslopes1987]

@@diyinjames thank you, it's really a lovely job.

good proyect bro

Hello! Can you make bespoke stands to order?

[@azlirameliasdasilva4662]

Barulhento, lento mas diferente. Valeu pela ideia e trabalho. Parabéns.

[@alexanderpetrovic6660]

Would it also work only with rails without the wheels?

[@diyinjames]

No, the castor wheels prevent horizontal movement and friction between the lifting shelf and the housing

[@TheRoadTaken]

Would like to see a link to the products if you have them. Except the lift. I have a different olan for the lift. Thanks for sharing the video. Oh turn down the volume on the ipening saw scene. I had ear buds in and now cant hear a thing.

[@mlkoch5902]

Sorry if I'm missing this, but where did you get the chairs? Love them too.

[@diyinjames]

Unfortunately, unknown to me. Gifted years ago.

[@goofiegaming9482]

What's the black material you used which was ironed on? Much appreciated

[@diyinjames]

Wood veneer tape - edge banding

[@aster22380]

very awesome! I wish someone could help me build such a thing

[@stephentranter217]

Beautiful build and looks amazing!! 👍 Just wondering if you are going to do any diagrams or lists so that people can replicate it?

[@diyinjames]

Thank you, I will take it into consideration for the future.

[@Andrew_Black_01]

It’s really cool! But I have the question The height of the table in lower position is about 700 mm The height of the monitors and top cap about 400-500 mm The height of the actuator about 600 mm (minimum) How did you fit the monitors cap and the actuator in 700 mm table?

[@zvrlimone7687]

This such a great and cool build. Pardon for the ignorant question but, what do you exactly call the poles that held the cover? I'm looking for it online but I seriously don't know what it is called. Thank you!

[@diyinjames]

Thank you. These are furniture legs.

Do you have files or diagrams for the project? Love to recreate for my home office.

[@ravenmooore]

Can you set the limit of the linear actuator? did you have to set it?

[@diyinjames]

The limit is preset and shuts off automatically on full extension and full contraction.

[@athosgonzaga]

Hi, can you say me whats name by type of motor you use in this project?

[@yiyito04]

Linear Actuators

[@kellybennett9492]

What was the size of the lift u used?? And did u only need to use one?

[@diyinjames]

Only one is used as shown in the video, actuator specs displayed at 9:22 - bottom left.

[@ChiouPika]

greatttt

[@AmusedBeaver-vq2hw]

how much for the table

[@martybayes6970]

Where can I get the drawings for this project?

[@DanoFPV]

If this was made out of something other than fiber board... it would be so much more durable over time. Great build though!

[@JackPyro333]

True. And so much more expensive. :P

[@E34525IX]

Does these kind of chairs have a specific name? Stumbled across this chair type numerous times and can not found how to specify them. Halp

[@ericchu3152]

nice cool

[@81apai]

What is the size of the acutior

[@diyinjames]

9:21 bottom left corner - 400 [mm] stroke

[@NorsePeak]

Note to people, be careful in regard to the 3 major issues for electronics: Heat, Vibrations, and Dust. The more "powerful" (more power draw, more thermal potential) the more air flow it needs. keep this in mind when building your own.

Why dont you sell the specs?
