@@uchiaslaya7 Well.. yes to a extent. To design it. But to make it, i seams like most of the manufacture work was pretty simple. The CNC machine did pretty much all of the hard work. Even considering that, doing this at home with a hand router and a thinner plywood and a bit of drawing on it, should not be that hard. Even if you miss a bit, most of the routing is on the inside, and the one that is not, is on the under side. IF you miss by a few cm it will not be visible and it will not really effect strength. I kind of think with a few design changes, pretty much anyone could make one at home

Yay for more furniture! Something related to my day job (Furniture designer). A couple options to make a cleaner look and less hassle install/maintenance would be to have a built up edge on 3 sides and then the bottom is held on with fasteners+inserts. The metal legs and even the monitor stand could be modified to accept a black plastic wire cover strip on the back side so that wire feed through is minimal. The Baltic Birch 5x5 is no longer readily available these days due to the Russian import bans (so if you are getting it don't rely on it long term). But the same methods can be applied to a pre-existing Ikea desk top and routering out 70-80% of it and adding a bottom cover.

Very cool build! The only thing I would change is to put the I/O port on the left side of the desk. Two reasons for this: 1. most people use the mouse with their right hand, thus leaving more room on the left side of the desk for accessories; 2. most headphones with only one cable have the cable attached to the left ear, so it would make more sense to have that side attached to the audio plug.

The QI standard actually has a free-position variant of their charger with overlapping, hexagonal coils, where you can actually freely position the load on the surface. It's quite a few years old, and not a single implementation has ever surfaced. Without specialized ASICs it would also be very costly, although even the 8-layer PCB would already be either way.

The simplest solution is proboly having 4 resivers in the keyboard, then a number of transmitters in the table. Then have them in a position that when one lose contact the other turn on. Say if the one in the table is 1 unit apart the one in the keyboard is 1.5 units apart. And 1 unit would be exactly twice that of maximum distance in width. That way you can move the keyboard pretty much anywhere and it will still charge.

The mind, and memory is a crazy thing. Watching this, I kept having this twinge in the back of my head. Then it hit me. ALLLLLLLL the way back in middle school (close to 40 years ago), I had a woodshop teacher who essentially did this exact thing (without the tech, obviously), made with a pair of sandwiched 2" butcherblock sheets. It almost perfectly hid every cable for his phone (rotery) and electric typewriter. His had more hidden draws as he didn't have the power delivery needs, but the project was essentially the same. Very cool memory, so thank you for that. I remember that the classes helped put the entire thing together. Easy "A", and a lot of fun. I'm pretty sure he took that desk with him when he retired a few years later.

It's decent but not perfect, I've implemented the same thing for my desk. All the qi transmitters I have tried don't really work well through anything more than 0.5" thickness (even though they are all advertised to work up to 30mm/1" thickness). I'm also not sure that simply putting 9 transmitters side by side would increase the charging radius if they are all on separate controllers - though I'm no electrical engineer. It was a ton of work but at the end I am very happy with the results given how jank of a mod this is. Probably never going back.

The issue is that you really can't get any thinner than 6mm in large sheets. I found some 3mm at 300x900 sheets. Of cause. If the charging go through a 6mm playwood, that would be perfect. Its cheap, sturdy and easy to work wirh. Just glue in loads of channels with stips of 20mm playwood between. Maybe a few screw inserts to make it possible to open it. But of cause. If you just have to mill away 2 or 3mm here and there wirh a 6mm playwood sheet. That would cut down on routing work quite a bit. I want to do a simular set up, but have the computer in the desk. Now I'm more and more leaning to a mobile-stationery set up. So the computer can just slide into the side and conect to two USB-c

You could probobly get away with using a 6mm plywood, glued channels and just route where ever the charging will be. That would cut down on routing like 90% and the table will be cheaper and lighter. What I think is 6mm playwood, then 20mm channels of.. well maybe plywood then 6mm plywood on the bottom side. Then just a $30 hand router and a stedy hand. Because you only would be routing 4 mm away it would probobly be quite quick.

For the "rest of us" adapters and cables can be mounted on the bottom side of the desk "only visible from below". You could also do without a router by making a wood frame+grid with a thin plywood top (and optional bottom) with sturdiness/weight balanced through grid density. With laptop+dock I'm considering mounting the docking station upside down under the desk - inside would be cool but too difficult to replace. Cudos for fun practical project and would like more "builders insights" from the staff doing most of the work 😊
