Introduction: Standing Table on Wheels - From Recycled Desktops
This standing desk is made from recycled desktops and was incredibly satisfying to make. I am not sure which was more satisfying, using recycled materials, making something so useful, or hiding all the cut edges.
Designed for teachers to use in the classroom, it has shelves and a flat top, to stop your mouse from rolling away
This design hides all the cut edges and gives a neat finish
If you give it a go I would love to see your finished products in the comments, have fun
Supplies
Desktops
2 x 600mm x 1200mm
2 x 600mm x 600mm
Drill
Saw to make the long cuts neatly
screws
brackets
bolts and lock nuts for the wheels
Step 1: Cut Boards to Size
I have colour coded the parts, the same colour parts come from one sheet
Step 2: Assemble Parts
I used small brackets and 16mm screws to assemble the parts
If you think through the assembly you should be able to hide all cut edges
The wheels attach with bolts and lock nuts
On one of the first attempts at this project I used 16mm screws to attach the caster wheels, they broke out after the first obstacle they were pushed over.
