SAVE SPACE WITH THIS MURPHY DESK | COMPLETE TUTORIAL

[@daytontanner379]

I'm a woodshop teacher and one thing about us woodworkers is we have a tendency to overcomplicate things. I was looking for an easy design for a foldout table to put in my laundry room. I love this. Nothing fancy, but it looks good and works great. Super simple. Thank you

[@johnperry6874]

Yeah…it’s SUPER nice to watch a vid of a Woodworker who has skill and isn’t a show off. Eyes glaze over at the size of their workspace or how many saws and tables they use. This is one of the best how to videos that shows you and keeps your enthusiasm for making it yourself! Thank you🎩

[@cruzgonzalez1737]

With this video and the help of my whole family (wife & 2 teenager kids) - we build one!! Thank you. We built one long enough to have our kids attend virtual classes - 64” x 20” !!

[@tz4007]

I am also building one today for virtual classes!

[@gregbuchanan6328]

Thank you for this. I used this as a guide and built a craft table in our guest bedroom for my wife. She loves it and I'm really proud of it.

[@evacastillo3139]

This is going to solve my kids drama, I love your video the way you explain everything you kept this simple and easy thank you

[@thecoralchannel]

So glad you enjoyed, Eva! And that we could help solve some drama ;)

[@annatuulia1]

@@thecoralchannel Anyone that has done this project or the Coral people can someone please help me find the plans to this project. I would really like to build it but I need to know some specifics thanks! The links don't work anymore to the plans that were set up here.

[@noelurban3105]

@@thecoralchannel what color stain you used?

[@wingmangt]

Good idea and execution. The only thing it needs is some kind of lockout mechanism for the L brackets, so it won't collapse if someone bumps into it.

[@thecoralchannel]

Oh! That's an amazing suggestion. Where were you when we were building the plans!

[@wingmangt]

@@thecoralchannel probably doing something silly :). Keep up with the cool projects.

[@MikeTheMaker1]

What about adding to magnets one of the support and one on the bottom side. Should be enough for a bump.

[@LazerRat]

@@MikeTheMaker1 I don't know anything, but I like that idea. Especially if you use reasonably strong magnets.

[@MikeTheMaker1]

lazrrat you know plenty. Most home centers sell magnets strong enough to withstand a bump. They won’t lock it in but it won’t collapse with magnets in there.

[@jayrob7418]

I've watched all other channels on how to make one of these... This is hands down the best one. Thanks ma dude.

[@aasimpathan4155]

Solutions are often very simple but ...they do need to appear in mind...and that needs imagination... Great work... Ma'am

[@ALAPINO]

Most people won't have a circular saw handy for the longer rip cuts. Many places that will sell you pine board and lumber will rip the pieces to what you need, particularly if you ask nicely. Rough cuts being rough, a little sand paper (100 + 200/250 grit) will finish those ends nicely. Nice little project, Coral!

[@JasonJarred]

Thanks for the tip, I was wondering how I’d go about that! Awesome video to the content creator too 😊

[@captaindingbat]

This is perfect. I want to add a table like this to the camper van to save on space. Project for the next few weeks I reckon!

[@LisaSoulLevelHealing]

Same, I want to put them on my doors 🙂

[@captaindingbat]

@@LisaSoulLevelHealing I did end up making a small fold down table for the campervan, and it works a treat 😁

[@pawsitivecultr]

Thanks for this! I really needed one that doesnt need pocket holes and other fancy things that need tools!

[@pawsitivecultr]

I found it really challenging to do the triangles. Unfortunately your blog post with this project is no longer on your website.

[@ryanrm8547]

Pretty sweet - thanks for posting! Not sure if I follow what the reason for the 1" x 10" long 'spacers' you put on the bottom side of the desk but it will probably make sense once I start the build. I think I will add a small stop on those pieces to make sure the support legs cant be knocked out on accident and collapse the desk. Thanks again!

[@michaelsteven3990]

Just an assumption, if they are tight the to the bottom of the desk when you fold the L brackets in to close the desk they will hit the round part of the hinge on the bottom(look at 2:58), materiel she already had was a good spacer. Love the idea btw, building it this week for my daughters room.

[@mkdr6967]

I also worried about the brackets.. imagine if someone unintentionally hit the brackets the your precious laptop will suffer.. 😨

[@rgstevens07]

I was thinking about notching out the support where the hinges would hit in order to avoid adding these spacers. Think that would work?

[@pajarobobo]

I'm crying at how good this is

[@slowandgentle8938]

Thank you! Yours was the most simple tutorial on the Web!

[@joygallagher1704]

I did it! Took me three days and two trips to the hardware store, but I did it!

[@thecoralchannel]

Amazing Joyce! Share us a picture of your project on facebook or instagram @CoralTV - We would love to see it!

[@thecoralchannel]

CONGRATS! Hope you love it as much as we do!

[@corind3530]

Did you follow her measurements?

[@joygallagher1704]

Corinthian Dixon, no. I made mine based off of a piece of scrap I already had.

[@lovefaith6285]

DIY Danie! I didn't know this was Danie when I clicked on this tutorial. I've gotten so used to the purple hair that I didn't even recognize her until I heard her voice. This build was exactly what I was looking for! DIY Danie is a creative beast! 🤓💜🐕💪🎨🖌📐🛠👽🖖

[@hartmanmeints7875]

Just made this for the bedroom in my college house that I moved into as I have no floor space to put a legitimate desk. super helpful as all other designs I have seen are a traditional murphy but i wanted to leave room on the wall above to mount a monitor for my laptop. very happy with the finished product, thank you!

[@rixcano6936]

After searching... This is the best design I saw today for a table attached to the wall, because of that I give you a subbed 😊

[@irabenjamin4282]

if you add a1x2 on each end of the 36in. board you will have 39in. to come up with 36in. overall you will have to cut 3in. off of the board that screws to the wall.

[@randallmcdaniel1189]

I have a large draft table that I plan on changing to this design. Thanks for the creative build.

[@Najarj3]

This is an awesome, straight to the point and truly DIY project, after watching several videos this made go for it. Need a table like this for college homework, specially now due the coronavirus outbreak but don't want it to permanently take space in my room so this is a must for me. Keep the good work 👌

[@battistaverardi1240]

Just awesome!! I seriously need this in every room!

[@1972yourock]

SUPERRRR!! I have looked soooo much on youtube for a simple guide on how to do a murphy table for my small kitchen. Thank you! love it

[@thecoralchannel]

Dayana Gordillo our pleasure! Share some pics with us when you end up making it!

[@aroncarvajal7080]

You are not only talented at carpentry but you are also very funny thanks for your video.

[@VIDEOEPPO]

why didn't I see this before. Its sparked an idea to extend my work bench...i am really running short of space. Simply and effective design. Thanks a lot!

[@ZalinaW]

Love it! I'm going to make a smaller version for my kitchen and use as extra counter space. Living in a studio apartment, I have very little space to set things down, while cooking.

[@sarfarazahmedlarik]

I was finding like this space saver dining 🍽 table... Wow 👌 👏 😍 👍

[@williamclark9743]

Very sweet desk. I'm making this for my wife in our bedroom so she can use it for school. I've been looking for an easy design to put in our room and this is it. Too cool.

[@losthuman1965]

I dnt know where we can find such cute carpenters...doing jobs with those delicate hands..🥰

[@clarreligei]

Thank you. I just started this project and should finish tomorrow. It looks simple, sturdy and purdy 😉👍🏽😄

[@blackhole7818]

I'm such an idiot, I was trying to make something so complicated. This is so great and simple. I will make this and scratch the other project

[@ChefFlee2018]

I love this video I have a small kitchen and will use this idea and do a folding cutting board/island next to my stove 😍

[@catherineburbank9993]

Made this for my guest room. Directions were great, only thing changed was using a piano hinge.

[@zionlucasYT]

Finally found the idea i need for my room project. I think i can also put some flat stoge under the table attached to the wall for papers, magazines and even laptop. Thanks for this video. 👍🏻😁

[@ursulawalter]

Thanks!!! I was about to buy the expensive foldable brackets but your idea looks like the winner!

[@shubhamss3820]

[@bryceturnbow9441]

Great work! Thank you! Any thoughts on preventing someone from accidentally bumping the L-brackets while you’re working? I’m thinking like a dead bolt that locks it into place once the desk is up… it could be attached to the L brackets and there could be a hole in the spacer piece for it to bolt into.

[@janoahlee7499]

Thank you for the video! I love that you not only vocally explained but showed the Materials with descriptions on screen. Sometimes it’s hard for me to understand when people just say and have the description buried way down in the description box. Thank you
