For light duty work traveling assembly can also be mounted under the top. Great execution of the concept, really makes the gears in the head spin with design play. Double up for rigidity with bearings in hard wood and you can eliminate the crossing over middle dowels or use as sliding shelf mounting method with travel bar under and more. Already half 'Steampunk-ed'.
Nice work. This is a great demonstrator for wood gears and the scissor lift concept. I built a single stage scissor lift about 6 weeks ago. I was disappointed because it can't lift much weight at the bottom due to inherent force multiplication because of the geometry. It was also very wobbly being made from wood. Wooden lifts make fun toys but aren't very good for lifting much weight.
+DM Idea I found that having tight joints helped. Making the starting height higher or getting the threaded rods further away from the first joint greatly increases capacity because the mechanical advantage is much better. Of course, using steel allows much higher lift capacity and stiffness. Thanks for posting your design. Yours looks much nicer than mine.
So, you think you are smart and skilled because you build this Scissor lift? Well, you should. Very nice work. What do you expected? a rude comment from random viewer? Not this time...
Hi! My name is Anna. I'm a London Metropolitan University student at architecture. I have seen your "homemade scissor lift" and it fits perfectly in my concept. Can I please have drawings of your fantastic lift? Of course I will mention you as an author of mechanism in my paperwork.
If you capture a threaded rod coupling nut in the cross strut and float one end of the threaded rods then only the strut travels and the rods don't come poking out. The whole gearbox assembly can be part of a table top, it doesn't need to be part of bottom.
This is awesome.. just what I need for my project. I've been checking you website, but can't find any sketchs or anything that helps me to build. I saw you have a lot of projects in there. Will you be willing to sell those plans? Thanks
Went to your website and was not able to find the plans for this. I will be, however, hopefully buying other plans for my "father-in-law" as he likes to do scroll saw work.
That is so damn awesome... I am going to try to replicate it to do actual 6 ft x 3ft size to carry at least 500lbs. It will be my elevator to my loft. I will probably tie an electric motor though :)
Suggestion: If you fix the allthread at the gears and make the lose nut on the other end, your allthread will stay inside your baseplate and will not protrude
If one were to allow the metal rods to pass through the unfastened "leg" of the lift, as opposed to the current opposite setup, would this allow the rods that, with the current setup, extend "outside" the device, to instead stay inside the box bottom?
DM Idea Necessarily? If the gears turn the rod, and the thread of the rod forces the unattached leg of the device, then the gears (and pull) could easily be stationary, or am I imagining this wrong?
That satisfying smile when you made it to the top - priceless!
A fantastic piece of craftsmanship I would be very interested in seeing the gearing for this build

Thanks. I have to agree with your opinion, although I believe that some improvements can make device like this more functional.

You are really genius Daniel...
Nice video shot, keep it up, thanks for sharing :)
this project is so cool you need to make a step by step video. Congrats!!
Great job. Love the design.

So, you think you are funny ? Well, you are! Thanks for unusual comments.
😂😂😂
Seeing it up and down, that is more fun to watch than the spinner toy.

Thank you for your sharing . very accurately and very good idea.
That's a good workout and good build
:) yes it is, thanks
Perfect! Imah scale it up to make a motorcycle service lift ;-)
Impressive...I like it.
Thats freakin cool. Thanks man!

Unfortunately, I don't have plans for this lift mechanism. I build it on the fly, without any sketches or video. Sorry
Dude thank cool but your arm must be tired
After I was All the way up you look so happy then you realized it had to come down
great invention, how much probability between vertical and horizontal gear brother?
Went to your website and was not able to find the plans for this.
I will be, however, hopefully buying other plans for my "father-in-law" as he likes to do scroll saw work.
excellent your work. I would like to know more about the mechanism. Can you explain me?
or download a video explaining it?
Oh God.. that's brilliant
Thank you.
No.. thanks to you ^_^

Good point, maybe next time.
Best technique and awesome work
Awensome! I will try it out
It took you 1 hour to make it go up then you smiled , haha :D
Sezo Dezo I like to call it 'micro adjustment ' 😉
its great what you build :D
That's what she said.....
I was wondering about the gears you used: what pressure angle of the teeth did you use that they work under the 90 degree angle :)?
Good work !!
very good, enough for me to subscribe to you, keep up the good work 😊
Thanks :)
This is brilliant
+Norwegian Wood Thank you!
Sir do you have a video….how did you assemble it?
How did you fasten the actually scissor lift together, what did you use for the joints between each peice. Hope that makes sense.
If one were to allow the metal rods to pass through the unfastened "leg" of the lift, as opposed to the current opposite setup, would this allow the rods that, with the current setup, extend "outside" the device, to instead stay inside the box bottom?
The only problem with this setup, will be that the whole mechanism (gears) have to move with it.
DM Idea Necessarily? If the gears turn the rod, and the thread of the rod forces the unattached leg of the device, then the gears (and pull) could easily be stationary, or am I imagining this wrong?
You're right, it can be done. It's just easier this way when working with wood.
is it possible to get s link to a parts list so I can make my own
Why did you feel that the sound of the winding added value?
sir is there any threading on the rod which is attached to vertical gears......
does the rods have threads on them?...are they moving like just a nut bolt mechanism?
Irtaza Khan Yes, and yes.
thanks, man :)
sir..what are ur assumed dimesions for making this...?
i was trying to look how to make a homemade gear and when i saw this vid i all i saw was u working it
Make that little bit bigger and I can hang and dry my clothes on it. Thanks for posting
If this was in IKEA!
GOOODDDD!!!!
That look of self admiration at :49
what is the name of the metalic thing? i am considering this for my school project
You mean the threaded rod? Common name: all-thread
Fun toy!
+Jim Steinbrecher Thank you Sir. I appreciate it.
can i get the full details of this mechanism ? or where can i find it?
i am completing a project
Sorry , I don't have any plans for this one.
thankyou ^^
i ll figure things out
very nice, i want this making video..
Good job
please , how did you transmit the motion from the hand wheel to the gears?
0:58 to :02
Gears are clearly meshing.
مهبوت
Please note that he did mention the source of the gear designs, Matthias Wandel. Check his channel out on You Tube.
maybe a smaller version for a router lift?
Maybe. I'll think about it.
Why tou do not show us the full making video
who a front stering wheel can gear please tell me sir
Awesome
Can someone pls tell where to buy these rods for making the lift ?
Thanks a lot .

Dimensions of these parts???
I would make a adjustment so a drill could do the spinning
Sir could u help I want to make it pls
uplifting!
OOOOOOOkay... its cool but what's it for? WHY?
Just for fun!
Sauber & sachlich = Vorbildlich 🆔♎♏🌪⛄
