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

[@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.

[@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!

[@pajarobobo]

I'm crying at how good this is

[@aasimpathan4155]

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

[@shortLTM]

Excellent, thanks! Going to use this to make a pull out seat/groceries table for the space between the fridge and the wall.

[@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!

[@slowandgentle8938]

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

[@jayrob7418]

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

[@randallmcdaniel1189]

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

[@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.

[@aroncarvajal7080]

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

[@arunmohanan1993]

Simple design served my purpose

[@battistaverardi1240]

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

[@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! 🤓💜🐕💪🎨🖌📐🛠👽🖖

My room is like really small so that will be a perfect and easy to do desk for school, thanks

[@sarfarazahmedlarik]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@takibahmed8859]

What type of wood did you use? And thanks for the video

[@catherineburbank9993]

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

[@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!

[@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?

[@clarreligei]

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

[@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 😍

[@Sarge22fox]

there Did it! thank you! it looks great! and I have extra space

[@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.

[@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?

[@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 😁

[@keyblade5916]

This is really good for small spaces! Thanks!

Coooool.... I live in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia and we dont have sophisticated material.... Your is simple and really cool! ... Thank you! I might ask for your advice, I just bought a tiny apartment and your advice will be highly appreciated! If you dont mind! 🙂

[@samvidana3669]

You're a Champ!

[@PramodSingh-xo1qy]

Can I use it upside down ?? Will it hold itself when closed in upside position or I need to use some locking mechanism?

[@RubenFRS]

How sturdy and stable is this? Thinking of building this for my fiance to work from home but hesitant as I know she wont use it if it shakes or wobbles. Thanks!

[@mviswan22]

Great video! Any idea of how much weight the desk would support?

[@soyythomas]

Thanks😇. I made one for me and one for my friend. ❤️

[@secretblazevault]

this looks like a cool design 😁👍

[@dadsrecipes8053]

Very nice will be working g on one tomorrow. Question the 1x4x3 adding the 1x2 on each side should the cut for pine shelving be 39 in? So that it fits? Other than that awesome 👌🏽. Thank you.

[@tiptop2457]

I love it.

[@jeronimoamaro5965]

WOW that is sick thank you.

[@armandocasas586]

[@ursulawalter]

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

[@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!

[@sdjgsd6]

Could you please make me one as a dining table? Love from the Bronx, NY

[@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 😊

[@Alwaysbmoving]

I couldn’t locate the blog post with the full guide. Would be nice to see an initial drawing stage of all the parts to see how it goes together visually at the beginning.

[@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.

[@shubhamss3820]

[@shhthisisredtoo]

THANK YOU

[@Patriots2004]

thank you! awesome!!

[@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 😊

[@yourdoggotcancer8042]

Thank you for that nice idea and tutorial. I am building a bed and gonna add this desk at the side of the bed. It will act as a night table

Material is 1 piece of 1X4x3 pine lumber board. Sorry for being naive. My first time to do woodwork - are these in inches? If yes, isn’t 3 very short?

[@ravenanbu5708]

I built one with my dad not even good wood and some thin triangles and it held up very well of constant heavy use for 2 years and going so if you're worried like my dad was don't be (im a messy person so every surface i fill with stuff )

This is an awesome, straight to the point and truly DIY project, after watching several videos this made go for it.
