A Minimal Floating Desk (Part 1) 

Glad I could help! Sounds like a plan! I look forward to seeing your project!

What are these brackets called?

I'm glad you find this video useful!

Wow thanks a lot Scott! That's the largest tip I've ever received on RU-vid!!!

@@ToolsElectroDIY You're welcome, you deserve it! Also, for some reason you're live stream ended in the middle of your sentence for me and there was no more chat or anything. Anyways, I'm just glad you saw this, have a great rest of your day!

Mac, not PC :D

Them are Mac's.. and you find the case on Ebay.. and smack some rolling wheels on them

@@ToolsElectroDIY Still a personal computer

@@eml9922 Yes!

Just missing the Mac trash can 😂

Glad it was helpful!

Go for it!

Sounds great! Looking forward to see your setup if you can share on RU-vid.

@@ToolsElectroDIY I may do that. Not sure. I’m not much of a RU-vid creator or anything. Maybe when it’s finished I’ll upload a short video so that others can get ideas similar to what I have done. If I do I’ll be sure to come back here and let you know.

@@redman2751 Cool, thanks for sharing!

How are you mounting the countertop if you don't have support on the sides? Angle brackets?

@@zerosandones701 there are supports on both sides

haha!

Glad I could help!

when? I forgot. See when it's posted?

Thanks for your comment! 50 ~ 80 lbs maybe? Put an Ikea Alexa drawer unit in the middle could help.

Haha! I have the exact video for you regarding this floating table with LED lights ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j70DsBAQ6Oo.html

@@ToolsElectroDIY Thanks! That really looks fantastic!

116 inches long. somehow I'm having trouble posting reply to your reply.

Thanks so much! Smash the like and subscribe :D

Thanks! No it won't sag, I have enough brackets along all edges including the middle.

@@ToolsElectroDIY what brackets did u use tried looking online cant find them

@@triskeleassassin9203 bed.

Good idea, thanks!

The L shape brackets are secured to the studs behind the drywall. They are recycled parts from a bed :)

No problem 👍

You can do it! Smash the like and subscribe!

No, it didn't sack. The center is well supported by the studs. It will be fine. Go ahead with your plan.

@@ToolsElectroDIY Thanks. Appreciate it!

The angle boards was the way I almost went before watching this video. His is so much cleaner & takes up minima space underneath the desk.

Old bed frame parts. I think you can find similar ones from Home Depot.

Yes you can search for MacBook dock in my RU-vid channel. I have a very detailed video about the making of the dock.

Appreciate it!

Thank you!

There are metal brackets on each stud along the length of the desk, so far so good!

I agree and i don’t trust the weight capacity in such designs

Thank you. The stud finder I used is geni.us/oZeNPo It is basically has two very strong magnets (perhaps I forgot to put it under the video description.)

Did you watch a different video?

Thanks! It doesn't sag at all thanks to brackets along the wall. You might be interested in this video with that floating table too ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j70DsBAQ6Oo.html

No it doesn't wobble at all, nor does it sack.

Yes I build it using a flat MDF board. You can find plenty of tutorials on RU-vid.

It's still going strong after 2 years.

it's fine :)

a little gap. and a hole.

Yes I have. it won't sack.

Thanks!

Thank you! Cheers!

You're welcome

I hope you get one too!

I'm glad you find it useful!

@@ToolsElectroDIY You also mentioned "blue wax paste", i presumed that's car wax for polishing?

@@gerjaison Not car wax. It is Minwax for wood finishing.

@@ToolsElectroDIY Great, thanks! I'm going to try that.

@@gerjaison Smash that like button :)

It does not fax in the middle. It has center support shown in the video if you watch again.

Yes. And it smells great.

@@ToolsElectroDIY lol glad to hear it!

LOL at a bare minimal, you can do it with a drill and a circular saw.

Thanks 👍 Smash the like and sub :)

117 inches by 23 inches.

Recycled parts from an old bed frame.

No bending. The center is fully supported by a few brackets.

No, it doesn't come off. If it does, re-apply!

I didn't spend a penny on brackets, they are recycled components from bed or cabinet brackets from ikea I guess :) I'm sure you can find similar ones from your local hardware store.

@@ToolsElectroDIY haha. That's why they all look different. Thanks.

Shuyang Zhu a true DIYer, build things from scratch, with scrap.

I hope you enjoy this video, please click like, it really helps my channel and RU-vid algorithm so more people can see it, thank you! I have more interesting videos in my pipeline!

@@ToolsElectroDIY Definitely clicked like, and hope to see more videos.

See my latest video for EcoFlow with this desk and led lighting

Actually you can do it with a circular saw, which is pretty common.

everything is s costly here

Thank you@

You are welcome.

They are from an old bed. I didn’t buy them.

Thanks for your feedback. I was inexperienced in video editing 2 years ago. Make sure you use heavy gauge steel brackets, it should be fine!

Thank you for the reply 😄 I'm also inexperienced. I only recently started editing videos, except it is my gaming clips that I upload to TikTok. Never thought I'd download that app. Anyways, I use something called CapCut. It's a simple editor but it provides a lot of useful functionality.

L shaped brackets from bed frames.

In USA, we have wood beams behind the dry wall. Therefore that magnet is used for finding them based on nails. If you have a brick wall, you can drill wherever you want to mount this desk.

@@ToolsElectroDIY thanks that helps. I cut down an old thick Neem tree on my property a year ago because it had developed a rot cavity inside its trunk near the base. I'm soon going to get it milled into planks (it will be a lot of them) in few days. So I'm going to make some diy furniture out of them and save the remaining materials for when we decide to make new or expand our house.

There are 8 brackets. It's not going to sack in the middle, as it as sufficient support. It's been a year and it's still works as new.

117'' x 21.5''

Yes you can do this. I was a beginner when I made this desk. You need some basic tools though, links in description. I also have a dedicated video for the wall mounted laptop dock.

@@ToolsElectroDIY Thank you When i get back home i will look at the tools and maybe watch your laptop dock i been wanting to make one for my iPad and i think it should be the same thing just a bit different.

Pine wood studs behind the dry wall.

No, it’s really hard to get that number unless I damage my wall or studs

@@ToolsElectroDIY thought so that's all good. Another question, where would I find the brackets you used to fasten the desk to the wall?

@@louplay I recycled some hardware from my old bedframe. I’m pretty sure you can find lots of those L-shaped brackets from hardware store.

old bed frame.

1. No bend, no sack. Well supported in the middle. Watch my recent videos (laser level) e.g. you will see the desk in multiple recent reviews. 2. Pine. 3. 117 inches wide. 1.5 inches thick. (2 by 12 from Home Depot) 4. Right. L shape brackets are the only thing used.

Yeah just those brackets scare more, especially if you have a big 49inch ultra wide monitor not sure it can support it.

I might do a wooden frame and then in the very centre put a metal bracket for extra support maybe. But I have brick walls not studs so I got better support that way

I’m in UK

I didn't do a load test. I think it should hold more than 300lbs.

haha!

yes

@@ToolsElectroDIY thank you bro ❤️✌🏼

Thanks I'm Kyle too!

Repurposed bed frame.

I see. makes sense.

Thanks for the sub! Where on Amazon did you find me?

I don't know. Recycled material from a bed frame.

Wood

OK, you might wanna watch this one with standing desk ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-irCzgxwqZpE.html

I didn't do a loading test. I think it should handle more than 200lbs.

I thought I covered every steps of the process. Which part of the joining was not clear?

printer is no problem.

@@ToolsElectroDIY Ok, thanks for answer.

Repurposed bed frame

@ToolsElectroDIY ahhh that explains it lol

no. the middle is fully supported by the same metal bracket.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4w9p4XEAaaQ.html -- and I updated it again recently. see my recent videos.

Those are recycled from an old bed.

Never tested.

117'' x 23''

Thanks

I meant material cost :)

@@ToolsElectroDIY it was a joke 😔 didn't mean to offend king

@@chiranjanshetty non taken.

Pine. 2 by 12 From Home Depot.

@@ToolsElectroDIY Thanx bro 💜

I don't know. Never used it before.

I don't understand your comment. Just in case you didn't notice, this is a DIY build with wood from Home Depot. Not a commercial.

Sure Luz, here you go, they are under the "Streaming Gears" of my amazon profile page www.amazon.com/shop/toolselectrodiy Please also bookmark it and come back to my live stream (when I'm live, the video is displayed on this page. usually after 7PM EST.)

@@ToolsElectroDIY Hello!!! thanks for answering back!! you are of great help!!! greetings!!!

@@ladiviniiisimagarza Enjoy! Let me know what your choices are. I'm curious about your setup too.

it's 10 by 10 feet

@@ToolsElectroDIY thanks bro

Sorry I forgot. It's from RU-vid "Audio library"

Basically it can be done with a circular saw and a drill.

Exactly

No I didn't.

Hi Hubson, thanks for leaving a comment. I'm not sure if this is a compliment or an insult: 1. Tim Cook is doing a great job being the CEO of Apple. I'm sure he is a great man. 2. English is not my native language. What comes natural to you doesn't necessary come easy for me. It requires a lot of practice and hours of hard work to make this video too. 3. Could you please share your custom PC build or other projects you have done? I look forward to watching it.

Hi @@ToolsElectroDIY Well according to the desk - great job, about the apple: 1. Tim Cook is doing a great job being the CEO of Apple. I'm sure he is a great man. - diagree, you should have seen some of his interviews. He is an iDiot. No need to mention what is he doing by selling overpriced devices not including earbuds and such basic thing like wallbrick. But of course you as an apple fanboy will never see it. 2. Mine neither, I just found that you sound like tim cook - really exhaused or sick, that's why I asked, you english is fine. 3. I am going to purchase a new PC and I will need a custom desk workplace, that's why I am here to check others' ideas, I need something basic, like yours, but definitely not with anything from apple, I am a reasonable man spending my money reasonably (by not buying overpriced junk from apple). Please see some of these: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wOYR-WhQ3Rk.html It's for fun, but explains easly what apple is up to.

You like?

Yes!

sounds good
