Multi Display desks are common, BUT not many utilize a high definition TV to get a second display integrated with the desk. This approach multiplies the possibilities by several orders of magnitude. Glass table top available here: https://amzn.to/2HalsyG
I hope you enjoy this quick guide on making a DIY standing desk which has turned into one of my favorite diy tech projects.

I’ve had an idea for a custom desk like this for years. It’s pretty expensive unless you already have a TV to use with the desk. Fortunately, the new house I moved into came with a living room TV that I was able to purchase from the previous resident for $5.00. That’s right, 5 dollars. This left my old TV open for this awesome project. Enjoy and let me know if it inspires you to do something similar!

If this is your first exposure to Garage Science, this is a haven for tinkers and makers with in depth science and practical applications to make cool projects or just cool experiments. I tend to focus on 3D printing and copper plating, but I also branch out to other projects I randomly do.

A homemade desk with a display embedded under the tabletop allows the user to not only efficiently use desk space but everything from quick notes to tracing on paper to display scaled models and drawings can be done easily. It’s also a lot of fun to do Autodesk Fusion 360(or any CAD for that matter) on an embedded TV desk. Now I just need to get a CAD mouse. This whole project was very affordable and significantly cheaper than trying to buy a desk this big and modifying it to embed the TV.

I also got motivated to build this desk after watching the video titled "Ultimate DIY Desk PC - DRILLING SO MANY HOLES" by Linus Tech Tips (   • Ultimate DIY Desk PC - DRILLING SO MA...  ) hopefully my video motivates you to build a desk of your own as well.
