In this video I build an electric standing desk / drafting table using linear actuators and hickory wood. Plans for this desk are available at liftbridgefurniture.com.

(still updating with parts so check back if you don't find what you're looking for)

Ha! Thanks...that's probably because my original intension for creating videos wasn't to make any money. I was simply having some fun with my kids and never dreamed that people would start subscribing to my channel.

Tommy you are clearly a talented craftsman! This must have taken many many months of design, planning and testing, not to mention building while recording so many different parts of the process at the same time. The bungee cauls are a great idea! I also liked how you solved the "wrong side" slot - made it look like it was meant to be there and satisfied my CDO for symmetry :-) I wish you all the success with this!

Thanks for the kind words Leigh! You have no idea how much work has gone into this desk, and the monitor stand and inversion chair that goes with it. From the initial concept to where I am with it today did indeed take many months of planning and testing. The monitor stand and chair videos that go with the desk will be coming out soon as well but I need to build and film another chair first!

Greetings neighbor! Yes, I agree that the RAS gets a bad rap but I really enjoy working with it and it's versatility. A nice example of that is when I cut the recesses for the switch. Sure you can probably do that on a table saw but man...it's way easier on a RAS.

Awesome, the very definition of a hobbyist project. I say hobbyist only as I'm guessing it would be outrageously expensive to pay a fair value for the time, effort & skill that went into this. It's the kind of thing you do for yourself or someone you love because you care & can.

I'm always amazed how much better people like this guy are at tool management and space management. I've got a 2 car garage myself (i'll be honest.... it's a disaster) and i need to step it up so i can do some actual work in it. time to redesign again. think i'll start by building a drafting table lol edit: after seeing that dewalt saw... i need one now. Didn't know an arm saw could be used as a side table saw type

Hahaha what you don't see is all the crap that I moved to the side so that I could get a nice clean shot. My shop is always a mess! My radial arm saw pretty much replaced my table saw entirely the last couple of years.
