Motorized Standing Desk - Kraftmade

[@landsman737]

This is the closest thing I've had in my head for years. I hate tables with legs. I now have a desk fixed to the wall in my office and plan to upgrade to a standing desk.

[@PolntBlank]

This makes me miss my fathers garage with almost every tool. Well done my friend.Very rewarding to make the entire thing instead of ordering a monitor stand!

[@Kraftmade]

I really appreciate it! Thanks SomeHooligan!

[@johnpedersen2480]

This is the video the world needs now! Work from home in comfort! I also like that you have donated all your dust masks to the hospital - they need them more than you!

[@Kraftmade]

Hahaha! Perfect timing is right

[@boots_4_me]

Helleva good job. I have no clue how someone can build that desk out of nothing. Good for you!

[@Kraftmade]

I appreciate it! A lot of research!

[@unitwoodworking5403]

wow this is the best because it fits one's height. With this idea I'll try to make TV standing desk in my bedroom.

[@Kraftmade]

Awesome! Let me know how it turns out!

Hello my friend I watched your motorized table project with admiration. That's a good idea. Convenient and robust. You did a good job. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing. Great greetings. I wish you healthy and happy days....

[@Kraftmade]

Thanks for the love!

@@Kraftmade healthy and happy days. You're welcome.

[@YESSLEEP42]

Love the motorized track built in!! Good build!

[@Kraftmade]

Thank you!

[@researchandbuild1751]

I am glad to see a different design. I was thinking odpf doing the same, but using en electric winch to raise and lower with a cable, mich faster and probably quieter too

[@Kraftmade]

That would be a great way to do that! If you do, let me know how it turns out.

[@Blaquegold]

Very original great work!

[@Kraftmade]

I really appreciate it!

[@K.Huynh.]

So cool! I love your table!

[@santoshlingala6267]

@Kraftmade This is one of the best designs that I came across so far on KZbin. I would like to build a similar one. May I request you to share the measurements please.

[@Kraftmade]

Unfortunately I don’t have plans but would be happy to answer any questions you have

[@santoshlingala6267]

@@Kraftmade Sure, Thank you very much and that would be a great help. I do have few questions: Wanted to know the type of Linear guide rail you have chosen and its size if it's fine with you. You have also selected strong solid steel for the rectangle tube, What is the thickness of the rectangle tube? Rest of the things / measurements I will try to manage and I would get back to you if I have any question. Hope that's fine with you. However thank you very much for the response.

[@Kraftmade]

@@santoshlingala6267 It's a linear rail bearing guide 1000mm. It's 1/8" 1"x3" rectangle tubing. You are welcome!

[@santoshlingala6267]

@@Kraftmade Excellent! Thank you very much for sharing the this details.

[@solomonmokua4643]

Nicely done.

[@TheNaiqqi]

where do you got the lifting motor piece?

[@PAUS3D_01]

Hey really considering making a sit stand desk cause there's nothing else I can do right now but didn't want to buy the linear actuator or start getting deep into the it until I was certain about this idea I've seen many which use a singular actuator at the centre of the desk but would it be possible on a shallower desk to have the actuator at the back and still have it lift everything level?

[@ricardodiaz8719]

do you have links to the actuators and powersource you used?

[@manuelavendano3891]

That´ll be usefull

[@malikbezhanakbari935]

Damn 👌 never seen like it before 👏

[@Kraftmade]

Glad you liked it!

[@temalgun]

Great job man, exactly what I was looking for. I'm a little worried about how the linear guides would hold since I don't know how to calculate the load. Have you done the math? How are they holding after 5 months?

[@Kraftmade]

It has held up very well. Even with working from home it is still rock solid! If I remember correctly each of this actuations holds like 350 pounds so I way over killed it. Rather overkill than under kill

[@temalgun]

@@Kraftmade thx... but I was talking about the linear guide(fixed to the wall) and pillow block, not the linear actuator.

[@Kraftmade]

Oh, the linear guides are still in great shape. Everything works as good today as it did on day one

[@SansP3ur]

Nicely done dude. Not sure where I missed it but did you make the linear rails with the tube [@3:00 @16:32] or purchase them?

[@saikatshahriar8355]

Great work.. I need to know from where to get this liner guide rail.

[@Kraftmade]

I purchased everything on Amazon. Ebay carries a lot of it as well

[@saikatshahriar8355]

Any link please?

[@manuelavendano3891]

What an intuitive and practical design for a standing desk! By having the frame attached to the wall, the desk doesn't wobble at all, am I right? Have a good one!

[@Kraftmade]

Thank you, I appreciate it! Yup, it is completely rock solid. As I am sitting at it right now, I cannot shake it at all

[@KO-sk1bk]

Do you build the track for sale.

[@jings1926]

Did you put any rubber or anything around the cord the holes?

[@Kraftmade]

I rounded over the holes with a round over but to keep the cords from fraying.

[@dodger1x]

You cold make this counter balanced or neumatic instead ;) it would move far more quict, quicker and smoother :)

[@FreshAirRules]

But are 2 or 4 neumatics easy to sync together? Counterbalancing is an interesting idea. How would you anchor it at a set height quickly and solidly? Some sort of clamp system?

[@jings1926]

Did you say three magnets in the hodor?

[@Kraftmade]

Yup! The magnets hold the door shut.

[@joshuavaughn6921]

Anyone know what kind of welder he's using? I'd love to get started doing projects like these but need to learn basics of welding and what ever he's using looks pretty straightforward (to my untrained eye).

[@Kraftmade]

It's a MIG welder and it is probably the easiest welder to learn on.

[@stylejuya]

When you use two linear actuators and the power is on, the actuators move up/down evenly ? I thought, there might be some sort of calibration to make those actuators works evenly.

[@Kraftmade]

Yes, the motors should move at the same speed however if they don't you could put a speed controller on the motor. I got all of my information from this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqG9nWptmL51rtE

[@andresquintero3814]

Can you tell me what materials you used please

[@Kraftmade]

Thats a pretty long list, is there anything specific you are looking for?

[@ichthys7883]

Mucho ruido hace..

[@marlukcz]

lol, I can raise and lower my manual crank desk in about 20 to 25 seconds. I bought the frame for about 150$ ... sorry, but you wasted a lot of effort and pain into this

[@nabber8584]

What frame did you buy?

[@ivantang5254]

In your opinion perhaps. The knowledge earned and ideas generated is never wasted effort for a maker since innovating is part of the mindset. So good on you for being able to find the solution that suits your needs just like how building this suited his.
