Hi everyone,

This is a quick update on how my standing desk building is going.

this is what I’ve done so far:

• I’ve bought most of my materials: cement, cement support, wood, stain, mechanical parts, desk top
• I’ve put the wood base of the table together (a new development, I’ve decided that it might fall over otherwise)

Wooden base for the legs of the table

• the top of the table has been built

Using a nail gun to put the desk top together

• both sets of bearings have been assembled

Making the lower bearing housing. This piece goes into the PVC tube, and holds a bushing for the stem

The bearing and housing, mounted in the PVC tube

• the forms for pouring cement have been cut to size

the form for the cement is ready to go!

• pour the cement for the base

This is what I’ve decided might have to change:

• The top of the table seems too big. It looks good in solidworks, but just looks too big for the rest of the desk
• The stain for the exposed wood parts that I was using was too dark, so I bought a different one that I think will be better.
• I found this really cool piece of wood for where the bearing is, it’s a cut piece of a tree!

This is what I still need to do

• cut and finish the table top
• finish the wood base
• cut my steel tube to size
• attach the tube to the table
• finish the poster
