    Through months of painstaking 3D modeling and prototyping, I'm proud to show you how I make Fisher's Adjustable Desk. This is a light-duty desk that has a surface height from 27 1/2" in its lowest setting. The desk can be raised all the way up to 44 1/2" high to be a stand-up desk. Additionally, the surface can be tilted up to be a drafting table or even further to become an easel. There's a small surface catch piece that can be removed, flipped, and re-secured to keep your work from sliding off the tilted surface. There's a total of eight different height configurations and three surface angles at each one giving you plenty of adjustment with this little desk! Check out the video to watch me make it. If you'd like to try making it yourself, head over to my website and pick up the plans!

  • @bee-u-tifuladventures4771

    Absolutely phenomenal! I do not have an immediate use for a desk like this but I love the fact that I am able to sit here on a snowy day in February and get a chance to enjoy watching you create another masterpiece. The painting. Don't get me wrong, the table is pretty fancy too! :-)
    Thanks again for taking the time to film, edit and share your adventures with us. We love your sense of humor and creativity. The outtakes at the end of every video reminds us all that we're all human and need to be humbled every once in awhile. :-)

    I appreciate a project of this caliber where you show the build without CNC. I'm not opposed to CNC, but it will be awhile before I can afford one. I also appreciate the level of detail in your plans. It works out perfect for me, a want-to-be novice someday.
    You make my day with your outtakes. It makes me feel I'm in good company

    Drew, Great project as usual. The outtakes are a reminder that I am not the only one who screws up once in awhile. Well, maybe more than once in awhile, never mind, anyway ingenious the way the desk lifts and how the top can be tilted up to easel configuration. Although if I were you i would stick to woodworking.Leave the painting to the professionals.
