A unique monitor stand made to measure from birch plywood, by Luc
A unique monitor stand made to measure from birch plywood, by Luc
Create this project yourself with sheet material cut to size by OPMAATZAGEN.nl!
Luc designed this entirely themselves: from cutlist to finish. Get inspired by the materials used below — and then think about how you would tackle it. We make sure the wood is accurate to the millimetre; the rest is up to you.
Luc has tailor-made a unique monitor stand for his workplace at home. He used birch plywood with a thickness of 9 and 18 mm to make this monitor standard. A relatively simple project but very useful!
Description by Luc
A simple, but quite large monitor stand was made using plywood that fits over the entire width of a 160cm desk. With matching planks that are loose so they can be easily removed to change layout.
How I made this project
1. First I drew several variations in Sketchup to achieve nice proportions.
2. The exact dimensions entered in the configurator
3. Everything was carefully measured on the wood and checked with the Sketchup drawings
4. Measure carefully again so that there are no errors
5. Drill holes for the dowels that attach the wooden legs or uprights to the top shelf
6. Sanding the whole thing (easier without everything being put together)
7. Glue the whole thing together and let it dry thoroughly with weights and clamps
8. Apply lacquer/varnish or paint. I used varnish for a matte look
