- Joe shows you how to make a DIY fold down desk. With home-schooling and working from home set to stay, at least, for a little while longer, this is the perfect opportunity to improve your home setup. A little bit of work and you can create a compact, sturdy and stylish fold away desk. Not taking up too much room and doubles as some handy storage. Not to forget, when life returns to normal, this could be repurposed as a drinks cabinet!

I love it so much that he is one of the few RUclipsrs that dont take money for their DIY Design, this is the first video i've watched from you and followed you immediately after it
As someone with ZERO diy experience, this looks simple, sturdy, and most importantly REALISTIC in terms of recreation. I'm very excited to attempt my own.
I'm so glad to hear that! I think anything is simple when you break it down step by step. I tend to just give things and go and hope to show others that it doesnt have to be complicated haha and if I make it complicated you see my mistakes along the way :) Joe
Thank you! I like it! The only thing I will do differently is put the closing latch on the side, so my arm doesn't hit the poking up thing on the right side of my tabletop. Thank you very much for this!
I like it. I want to do something similar to this for my home lab so I can separate work/study with hobby stuff.
Coloring your pieces in the video to reference your plans is a great idea I hope more creators start to do. Excellent idea, and great video.
Thanks mate! I think it helps to keep track of everything as the build goes along. 😊 Joe
@@WatchShareSave I agree with that!
That is so good and space saving absolutely!
A very nice video. Clear instructions without annoying music. Well done!
Very helpful video. I noticed others used the pistons so I appreciated that you said they were not ideal. Thank you. I will use chains as well.
Thank you for the fantastic video! Looking to build a wall desk for a guest bedroom. I watched a lot of videos, and this was by far the best - easy to follow and seems completely do-able! Greatly appreciate the time you put into this.
Awesome work as usual Joe 🙌
Well done. Nice result!

You'll have to let us know if you ever give it a go! OAB
Nice! well done.
Thank you!
Very Nice 👌
Awesome

Hi. Many thanks for the video! Where can I find the measurements of the boards? Thank you again
I've seen about two dozen videos on Murphy Desks, but this is the first that all around nails it. Great job; now to flip this out of metric so I can make it lol
Thank you! :) Joe
Nooo, imperial is so complicated! Step into the light and enjoy the amazing simplicity of the metric system :)
Great job….
Exelente mueble !! Tienes las medidas de cada tabla para hacerlo?
great video
Thank you Danny!
Nice!
Thanks! :) Joe
Hi mate, turned out lovely! Was wondering where you recommend to buy and have the ply cut? B and q looks expensive!
Thanks
I just made one to use as a laptop storage and desk. I would post a photo but i cant dobit here. Anyways good job thx for the inspiration. And you got yourself a new subbs
Thank you! I’d love to see the fold-down desk you made! If you post it on other social media please tag On A Budget so we can see it 😊 Really glad the video was of help! Joe
Nice video Cheers
Thanks Sean! 🙂
👍 keep up the good work sir.
Génial!
Thank you! 😊 Joe
So cool bro
Thanks! :) Joe
I’m think maybe find an drawl from an old set of drawers maybe as a start!
Hi this looks great, is there any way i could get the measurements please

I just built this desk using the same hinges. However, there is a 10mm gap at the hinge when the desk is open flat. This causes some play and movement when weight is put on the desktop. Does your desk have the same slight movement? If not, how did you make it not move when weight is applied?
Good morning, could I ask you for the measurements of each table? Thank you so much
Hi mate, what height from floor to bottom would you recommend to fit this to the wall?
Must buy a drill got a little one but don’t think it’s big enough fine for putting up blinds though!
I like your videos. Full of inspiration! What tool do you use for your 3D animations?
Thank you! I use google sketchup. It’s great for modelling the project and then for animation too 😊 Joe
Pretty cool video mate easy to follow and decent job. But what's with the pink watch man haha
Fantastic!! But i can't read clearly the dimensions needed to be cut. Can you please write the length of the blue,red, green and purple stripes. thank you!
Wow I want to make one can you mention Measurements. Thanks
Hi, was wondering how to access the cutting list? Thanks!
Wao you are expert man
Weldon friend😂😂❤❤
Haha Thanks! :) Joe
Excellent work Joe. Can you give any tips as to where to find a chain like this? Cannot seem to find it anywhere!!
Thanks Rachel! I got mine from B&Q. I think a lot of the big Hardware stores do carry it. If all else fails Amazon has everything haha :) Joe
Drawers!
Love it. Where did you buy the shocks looking thingys?
Hi Uriel, hopefully I'm right in thinking you mean the gas struts, you can try here www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07T3PG5G5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Cheers, Joe
Just found this and subscribed this is just what I need and I’m a lady soon to be pensioner will find a way 😂
Inspired by your video I would like to show you what I built. How can I do that?
I can see having a hole drilled in the bottom to allow power cords to go through ... power for the laptop and cell phone might be handy.
Hi.Whats that 90deg hinge called please.Have been to a few local stores but it looks like it’s not a standard hinge used in Australia. Thanks
Is there much spring in the desk?
Can you share the complete schematic with dimensions, please.
Joe, what type of chain did you use and I can kind of see you fix these with screws only? I tried struts and it was a massive fail - the box wouldn't stay closed lol! Complete opposite to yours, think I may have chosen too high of a pressure (120N).
I had the same issues with the struts mate. They just didn’t seem to work for me. I added a latch on the one corner to keep it closed. The chain I used was the 2mm chain from B&Q. The screw heads where bigger than the gap between each link so it held it great. Hope that helps mate 🙂 Joe
Love your videoc, can you put the dimensions in inches please.
Hello can you provide me the measurements of the table please?
Great desk and demo, thanks! Very clear instructions.
fyi - the music is unbearably loud. Please don't put music in any DIY or demo videos. It is very unpleasant.
Hi mate could you please write down the dimensions for the red and blue pieces as I can't really understand them
Hey mate could u please write down the dimension for the red and blue Pieces as they're really hard to see
What is height of folding piece at ??
Where can I find the cut list?
Can I ask what program you are using for the design work
I use google sketchup its a great piece of free software. Helps a lot for design work out cutting lists - Joe
Nicely done mate!
Can you share the cutting list?
Also, what are the dimensions of the board you screwed on the back, to set the frame in the wall?
I don’t have a cutting list at this time unfortunately. The back piece was 125mm wide but you could get away with 100mm wide too 🙂 Joe
Please, You can share the measurements. In the imagen no see the measurements clear. I like your video....
What thickness plywood did you use mate?
18mm thick plywood 👍 Joe
@@WatchShareSave glad to hear that! Chose some 18mm instead of 12mm, will be interesting to see how this goes lol!
How ridged is the desk if you apply a little pressure?
It's really rigid with the chains in place. I was hoping the gas struts would have worked but I wasnt happy with them. The chains are solid though :) Joe
@@WatchShareSave sweet, I’ll use this design the. 🤙🏼
what size chain & where to buy
I used 3mm diameter chain from B&Q. Most hardware stores will stock it though 👍 Joe
Where can I find the template ?
I don't have a template at the moment, sorry about that - Joe
It can be used as a drinks cabinet 😂
اتعليق العربي الي جنت دور عليه😅
would it handle my head and arms on the desk when I give up on life during my remote work? 😂
The measurements aren’t super clear, may i know what the measurements are please?
I can’t see the sizes of the prices of wood it’s to small
