Thanks! This was very helpful. I don't have the pegs that fit in at the last step to adjust the height. Could I just use four small lengths cut from a 15mm wooden dowel? Or is there a special shape to these?
Hi can i ask, is it possible to just put the whole trestle under the table before drilling to test the stability? Cos im gonna buy a custom rubberwood table, ans thinking of placing the trestle as far out as possible but still somewhat stable enough to hold 170cm table, another side will be held by a alex drawer. Reason for the testing is i want space as much as possible in between alex drawer and trestle to move to and fro between 2 laptops😅...
You could probably make that work if you don't have the trestle on the lowest settle. Even if that's what you wanted, you could mount it into your table first and then just turn the whole table upside down to put the trestle on. Just a little more hassle, but I think that'd be doable.
Hey there dude sorry to disturb you again but just wanted to ask what is the height of the desk when the desktop is moved to the first hole and to the second hole pls could you tell me in cms using a measuring tape plsss not rounded values but precise because you are the only person helping me in this case hadn't been able to find this info anywhere?
On the 2nd peg like in the video, height to the top of the table top is 80cm and in between pegs, it's 3.8cm. I think if you're looking for such exact measurements and such, you should probably go to your local IKEA and measure whatever you want to measure since you have so many of these questions.
@@nukem384 And what is the thickness of the board that attaches to the desktop the part you are holding at 0:15 and what are the diameter of the holes and distance between the hole
excellent video, thank you! Quick question, does the support posts with the holes for adjustment move freely with the stand? I worry because the adjustable supports that slide up and down don't seem to have anything stopping them from being able to shift back and forth if I were to lean on the table while drafting. Greatly appreciate any feedback!
Sorry didn't exactly show how that worked in the video. If you look around 4:03 of the video, do you see that wingnut in the foreground? There's one on each corner and you can tighten those to squeeze the post you're putting it over. That along with the post you put through the hole will keep the table at whatever angle you have it set at. So you don't have to worry about it moving if you're leaning on it a bit.
Ah I see now! Thank you for point that out and responding super fast, I greatly appreciate it! Will definitely be picking this up now. Earned yourself a subscriber, hope ya have a great day! @@nukem384
Yes, the post is what is going to keep the table from moving. There is a wingnut on each corner, but the post will keep the table stable when you're leaning on it.

Yeah that would probably work. There isn't anything special about the pegs.

Hi! Sorry if this has been asked before, but is your tabletop width 80cm? Thanks!
Doesn't look like it
Go to the measurements section

Quick question what are the step increments without includind the thickness of the table top
I‘d also like to know this, please 😊
Not sure I understand your question, but there's 7 of them and they are about 1 inch apart.

@@nukem384 I meant what is increase in height after we move the desktop one hole up
