Very clean and sharp results... And above all I needed this idea for my house.... Keep up this good work and God bless
Thanks for the kind words. Good luck with your own project. If you have any questions, just ask. Thanks for watching.
This is a really great idea for space saving. It could be used for so many applications too. In the kitchen for cookbooks, mail etc, or as a vanity in a bedroom, or if someone doesn't have a dedicated study/office, this gives them the space for working, and folds away when they're done.
Plus, the cost savings over buying prefabricated, and it will likely last decades longer.
Although, I don't have a table saw yet, so this is a project for the future.
You can still do it if you can get your local store to cut the wood for you. Good luck!
That's so cool !! Looks amazing
+Ashley Chisling thanks!
Turned out great, Jason!
Thanks! It was well received by the youngin' which is the main thing!
Wow! Love it, I’ll be building one for my wife this week and I really like how you did it!
Yet another brilliant project from you. Very useful to free floor
space and occupy the wall space instead.
+Bakthavathsal Kadambi thanks for the kind words!
Very nice work.
Thanks!
great work! thanks for sharing
Good work buddy 👍
+Sumo's Projects thanks, we're pretty happy with it!
Excellent work... Bro
Enjoyed the video. I'm looking for ideas for putting a desk/table (Murphy style, maybe) on the back side of my kitchen counter that faces the living room. Small space living is new to me so need something that fold out of the way when not in use. I've seen a couple, including yours, that include shelf space which will come in handy for my smaller space. I will check out some of your other videos as well.
That's such a space saver and it looks so nice with your kitty's picture in the nook - great job new sub
Thanks for the kind words. The kittehs always seem to make an appearance somehow... :p Thanks for watching!
i made it this weekend!!
what a great idea!
Thanks!
Love this! Purchased your plan and am currently building it for my grandson. I did make one modification that may be helpful for others: I extended the back panel downward about 9.5" below the cabinet and mounted the arms to it, so the entire desk will be self-contained as a single unit (without needing to mount each arm individually to the wall). Oh, and I also used dovetail joints on the cabinet to make it pretty. 😊 Otherwise, awesome project and video - many thanks!
Thanks! Great idea on the back panel. I'll keep that in mind if I ever build another one
Amazing 👏🏻
Thanks!
Oh my I can do it too for my keyboard inside thanks for sharing!
superb idea..will try this on my daughters room...thanks for sharing
+Ady Unixmoment thanks. Please share if you do! Thanks for watching
I've been mulling over a similar project, and yours gives me some good design ideas. I'm going for a fold-down workbench top in the garage, mounted on the wall to a short fixed shelf (like the bottom of your shelving unit there attached to the other half of the piano hinge), and the bench to fold down flat to the wall when not in use. I have the 8" concrete stub wall around the garage perimeter, on which I can rest angled folding legs when the top is displayed, but yours gives me some ideas for those as well, and also the fixed shelving above it as part of the unit is an approach I had not considered. Thanks!
Glad to be of help. Would be interested to see what you come up with for your project. Send us a pic if you are comfortable at handyverse@gmail.com
Lindo!!! Parabéns!

Thanks and good luck with your project!
@@Handyverse thank you 🙏🙏
thank you for sharing this
muy buen trabajo, exelente proyecto, felicidades, si me lo permites voy a copiar tu trabajo y muchas felicidades, tienes muy buenas ideas.
PD: gracias por compartir, un saludo desde mexico.
Gracias y buena suerte con su proyecto. Tenemos planes en nuestro sitio web si necesita más ayuda. Desafortunadamente, solo están escritos en inglés. ¡Gracias por ver!
Wow!!!
Thanks for watching!
Quick & informative Thank you
That's a great radial arm saw. any tips on finding one used, and around how much would I expect to pay for something like that? I used to work in the lumber Dept at home Depot and I want something like that for my shop.
Thanks, it is a great saw. I honestly lucked into it; it was being discarded by a company I used to work for because it wasn't being maintained properly and was a safety concern. I got it for nothing outside of having to spend a bit on a few parts to make it safe to operate. I'm not sure how much it would cost to buy one used but I imagine it would still be a few hundred dollars. Good luck! I hope you find something. - Jason
simple and very useful great video
Thanks for watching!
ooorale que detallaso amigo exelente idea. Saludos
Muy bueno ! Gracias oor compartir la idea.
Puedes mostrar mejor como has puesto y fijado los estantes a la pared ?
¡Gracias! Lo siento, pero no hablamos mucho español. Sujeté el escritorio a la pared usando tornillos largos en los montantes de la pared. Espero que eso ayude. ¡Gracias por ver!
Awesome
I understood your Spanish perfect!
Thanks for the reply
Nice sharing sir...👍🏽
very nice work
Thanks! We're very happy with the end result. Thanks for watching!
Lol..meow.
Great project! It is similar to the desk I am designing in place of a free standing dining table in my RV.
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words and good luck with your project!
Hi.. this is really beautiful... is it possible to build with limited tools? Dont want it to be that grand.. i just want a simple one with the same fynction.. i want to make it as my study table...
Thanks! Yes, we'd say it's possible with limited tools, especially if you can get some pieces pre-cut at the hardware store. We have the plans for free on our website; that will help. It is a fairly straightforward build. Good luck! Let us know how it turns out.
Awesome. Found this while seeking something else, which I still haven't found: a wall-mounted shelf/box for a music keyboard so that the keyboard folds out and down, affixed to sturdy folding/extensible arms. Might you ever design such a thing? That would be great! Has anybody seen such a thing? Thanks for any/all tips, and thanks for this great vid of yours!
Thanks for the kind words! The keyboard housing is a great idea. You could probably modify these plans to make it work. Leave out the shelves in the middle, make the overall size larger if necessary, and affix your keyboard to the desk portion. Let us know if you try it out!
@@Handyverse OMG thank you so much for responding! Maybe I *could* do it as you describe. Must think on it. My orig thought was something more flexible both for ergonomic purposes, and also in order to activate use of wall above existing desk ... so that I can essentially play the music keyboard without having to clear the regular desk completely. In that scenario I do need to find sturdy folding/retractable/extensible hardware to attach to the wall inside the kind of box you have designed... and g-d knows whether/where that might be available. But anyway, thanks much for responding!!! Will certainly circle back if/as I get this kind of thing built. Best wishes to you and yours including the kitty!
Fantastic spacesaving work
Thanks!
hello great work! what stain color and finish did you used?
Wow.amazing
Thanks! It has been holding up well. It is a great project
Wow that looks incredible! Thank you for the video. I plan to be constructing one soon. How many studs did you utilize to put it into the wall? Also could a nail gun and glue work for the corners/shelves? Thank you!
Thanks! I used three studs (six screws) to attach the main section. I would recommend that many as a minimum. I don't see any reason why a nail gun and glue wouldn't work for the corners and shelves. I didn't have one at the time or else I may have done the same! Good luck with yours. Send us a pic when you finish it!
Very Nice!
You should look into the French cleat it works awesome would have made hang it much easier good job on the project looks great great idea
Thanks for the kind words and for the tip! French cleats are a great way to hang stuff. I didn't bother using one here because I wanted it close to the wall but that would have been a great alternative. Thanks for watching!
@@Handyverse on the entertainment centers I've made I incorporated the cleat into the backing. Unit would slide on to the wall.
The folding supports below the desk are very useful
we think so too!
Majestic
Thanks!
I like your cat
goste muito do seu projeto
Thank you so much!!
Thats really nifty. Do you think it could be able to support the weight of a normal sewing machine? Or the usage of a sewing machine?
Thanks! It should support the weight of a sewing machine but if you're concerned, you could always make the "wings" that rotate out from a wider board. The greater the height of the wings, the more weight the desktop would support. Thinking about outfeed from your sewing machine though, you may want to consider one that folds down from the short side. If you search for tiny house tables, that might give you a better idea of what I mean. Thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot for the idea. I tried to do one but bigger, but I'm facing a problem that the studs are not touching the desktop and all the weight is only supported by the piano hinges, do you have a fix for that ?
Hmmm, you definitely don't want all the weight being taken by the piano hinge; the first time someone leans on it, it'll break on you. Maybe add some kind of spacer to the bottom of the desk surface that would make contact with the arms when the tabletop is down? You could even make it look decorative if you wanted. Good luck. Let us know how you fix it.
Very nice.
Thanks!
Love the cat "-)
That cat gets into everything...
I want to make a fold down table in my kitchen. I have a half wall between my kitchen and living room. Would I use the same technique to do that? Thanks for the video.
Sorry for the late response; just getting through some older comments now. I don't see why that wouldn't work. The technique is fairly straightforward, you just might need to adjust the dimensions to kit your kitchen properly. Good luck!
Yesssss....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very good job! :-)
Thank you for saying so. :)
Love the step by step. I'm curious about the software you used to make the design and as your guide for the cut of the materials. What is it you used?
The software is called "SketchUp"
Mantab bro
very impressive
Hello, this looks great and I'm going to give it a bash. One question, what size timber did you use for the fold-out supports? 8"?
Thanks and good luck! I used a 1" x 10" for the fold-out arms. I wouldn't recommended going much smaller than that. You might get away with 8" boards but just know that it won't hold as much weight.
It.s nice
👍👍👍
Amazing good bos
If I wanted to make it crazy long (like across a decent size wall) could I still make it one piece but with more of the support arms? Say I want a 8foot desk, I could do 4 of the arms instead of the two to add more support (still going into studs).
👍👍👍
Excellent work. Can you email me the plans? Tried to use the link but it’s down. Thanks in advanced.
Thanks! No problem to email you the plans. Just send an email to handyverse@gmail.com so we know where to send it.
any lessons learned that you would do something differently? I'm going to turn a closet/storage area I have into an office and use your pattern.
Hi .Do you have a video for a simpler and smaller desk please? Thanks
Nice work. Which app/software did you use for the plans?
Thanks! I used SketchUp by Trimble. Great program and you can do a lot with the free version.
personally I would have used a french cleat system for ease of mounting.
What did you use for wood finish?
What do you do with the arm support for table? Do those fold too? I'm curious
Neat desk and handy
Thanks! It's gotten a lot of use so far!
@@Handyverse A friend of mine ask me to make him one for his niece so he got all the stuff and now he has it all made.
That awesome! Send us some pics if you have some handyverse@gmail.com
@@Handyverse I didn't get any, dumb me, but my friend will send me some when he gets it put up.
This is really cool, how much weight does it hold?
Are the plans for this still available? If so, where can I download them?
Yes, but unfortunately our website is still down for upgrades. If you email us at handyverse@gmail.com, we'll send you a copy. Thanks for watching!
What was the software u used for drawing the woodworking design?
It's called Sketchup by Trimble. It's a great piece of software and even the free version is very useful. Thanks for watching!
How did you mount it?
+Andrew Fitch six 3 1/2" screws into the studs. Thanks for watching
Hello🤩 Just say congrats and I was wondering what software you used for the creating the model.
It's a program called Sketchup. There is a free version available to try
Good
Installed these on a riding mower czcams.com/users/postUgkxetgfkJxfdT_B2vGYP-uNTLaBbim9OKTD . They were sharp out of the box, although I've never liked blade edges that were coated...not quite as sharp as I personally want. Using my belt sander, I removed the coating from the cutting edges and refined the edge enough to shave with them. So far, after three runs, these blades are holding up as expected. Even after hitting a few fallen 1/2 inch or so branches, the edges are still sharp as heck. No edge dings, no warping, etc. As far as installing them, the cutouts were of the proper size and shape to fit my aging Craftsman mower. Very satisfied.
How do I get the plans for this desk. I would like to build this for my grandson who is 17 with a small bedroom
👍👍✌️
Sempurna karyanya Om.
Terima kasih!
Good......

شكرا علی هذا المكتب الراءع لاكن من ضلك سيدي اريد ان اعرف كيف الصقته علی الحاءط انا لم افهم كيف
أنا آسف ، أنا لا أفهم تماما السؤال. إذا قمت بإرسال بريد إلكتروني إلينا على handyverse@gmail.com يمكننا إرسال نسخة من الخطط إليك. قد يساعدك ذلك.

He is telling you how awesome the desk is. and he is asking how did you mount the desk.
Ah, thanks. We are sometimes limited to the powers of Google Translate which, while great, doesn't always get the message quite right. We mounted the desk by screwing it directly into the wall studs. قمنا بتثبيت المكتب عن طريق شدها مباشرة في قوائم الحائط.
@@Handyverse
yeah i know right! he has some typos too. so that doesn't help so much in translation.
could you please wright the measurements please
Dimension plz
Send us an email at handyverse@gmail.com and we'll send you a copy of the plans.
Great project. Though I think my best part was that slick edit at the beginning of the desk going from open to closed. You have to tell me, did you just hold really still whilst opening it and made a super slick cut, or did you use some form of masking in your editing software? I played with masking in my last video and had a lot of fun with it. (Link here if you're interested czcams.com/video/cNCm1lkvOiM/video.html
Am i the only one who is going to ask for a video about the cat?
I had to watch the beginning a couple of times, I was distracted by the cat lmao
It is great but the world is divided into languages and universal measures, you can do it in Spanish we are 300 million people, greetings and God with you

Music too loud
The video is running toooo fast that I can’t follow up with you
I think you should slow down the video in order whoever is watching you learn something
Thx
Ugh had to mute it the sound is annoying ... not needed my friend. Good build though, loose the "Music"
Good
