I've been building furniture out of black pipe for 10 years and I have to say this is one of the coolest pieces I've seen yet. I will definitly be building one of these for my office area. Very cool
Super, you need to tag this view because I have been searching for this for days. I have been rolling it around in my head and could not picture it. I was actually thinking it needed to be one of the (what is known in the business as the windowmaker) jacks, the one-sided ones., so it wouldn't be in the way. But that looks like it has plenty clearance. You could even sit it further away, favoring the far side of the table. As the weight of the monitors would balance it.
Wow, that's brilliant. I wish I could figure out how to somehow do this to my existing desk. It has 6 legs because there is also a shelf on the right side, and I wish I could get the whole thing to lift for standing.
Depending on you materials it shouldn´t wiggle ... worst case scenario is to weld a nut on the outer strut and use bolt (preferably a bolt you can screw in with your hand) to hold it in place
Is there any kind of support/locking mechanism for your four corners? I want to build something similar, but I'm worried the jack is supporting all of the weight in the center and that could lead to tipping on the corners.
I am worried about locking mechanisms as well, especially considering that I want the jack to be placed at the back, not in the middle, for more leg room. What did you come up with?

How is the jack connected in the middle? Is it welded? What is underneath the jack that attaches to the pipe? It would be awesome if you could share the dimensions and how it was assembled. Thanks!
So I make tables as really just a hobby out of electrical wire spools; I’m an electrician. I found this because I was thinking about using pins nd threaded rigid pipe like you used but what’s is the leg system there? Do they just slid between each other cuz one is 1/2” and the other 3/4”? Curious 🧐
Question: your desk is empty. What happens when you try to elevate it with a lot of objects above? I work with my cintiq tablet, monitor, keyboard: it's at least 8kg of hardware. Does the drill work anyway? thx
if you have used a proper electric desk you would know this desk would drive your mad by second day. If you going to be spending lots of time at your desk, fork out the money and buy a proper one. A cheap DIY,,, you will just end up going to buy a proper one sooner or later anyways.
Freaking Genius! I´ve been looking into DIY electric sit/stand tables and this is the best solution yet!

Best build I've seen so far, thanks.
I'd love to make something like this. Thanks for the inspiration!
Well done mate !! Simple and brilliant !!
Good job! Looks beautiful!
Just simple and really amazing Idea.
Best solution I've seen on YT 👍

great work
woww.. briliant !
I think you should mount the jack sideways. That bolt is just asking to clip off your kneecap
That is awesome!

That's really cool 😀😀
Amazing 😄
Nice job
Neat solution!
Nicely done.. what did you use for the legs to allow them to move up and down?
SIMPLE IS PERFECT
Hey! This looks awesome! I am thinking about doing something similar do you still use this? Any updates to the desk?
that was cool! :)
How much cost would be?? Have anyone try the SmartDesk Kit from Autonomous?
Good job. One answer....you have only one central point for every weihgt ?
Same question as Daniel below. What do you do about the four corners and locking them down? Doesn't the table pivot or wiggle without locking them?

PogChamp! I was thinking on craft/build an electric one with CNC pieces, but does not make any sense when you can do it easily and cheaper with this.

Here is the answer ruclips.net/video/LKUVgv_iLtM/видео.html
What is the height difference between high and low
Genius
How is the jack connected in the middle? Is it welded? What is underneath the jack that attaches to the pipe? It would be awesome if you could share the dimensions and how it was assembled. Thanks!
yes that will be great if you can share some more details on how you assembled it.
This is the simplest method. :)
how sturdy is this? I am thinking about this for a workbench.
What are the max/min height and bottom when standing or sitting?
Obviously it depends on your car jack ...

Is canelo?

Why should´t it? Worst case scenario is to use a stronger drill or do the old fashioned way by hand ...
Those lifts are made for cars to be cranked by hand. A drill has more torque than your hand I believe. So... Not a problem
Hi, have you had any weight stability problem? How much weight does it support? thanks for sharing
Fucking genius!!!!
Fucking genius
I'm doing research for an adjustable table I'm making, and your idea is really upsetting with the simplicity
