The design for this mobile stand-up desk was inspired by Paul Akers of FastCap and the mobile stand-up desk he created for his own use; now offered to the public as “Paul’s Desk” on the FastCap web site. Unlike Paul’s Desk, the one I created is primarily constructed with 3/4″ cabinet grade plywood.
Paul Akers is the guy behind FastCap Tools and I consider him my “guru” of sorts in the field of “lean” management and manufacturing. This mobile stand-up desk allows one to be very lean indeed. The desk can roll around almost anywhere, so you are not tied down to an office. You can certainly use it in an office, or a lobby, or on the production floor of your factory. Maybe you just need to roll it out of your office to your personal workshop. It’s an effective tool in the world of “lean.”
Drawers were designed to fit under the desktop, and they are on my drawings, but I have not built them yet. The space occupied by the drawers can be left open as shown in the video with coat hooks installed, or a trash bucket placed in this space. Other options would be shelves, or a combination of drawers and shelves.
The drawback to this desk is that it is custom built to the correct height for the individual using it and is not adjustable. The other drawback is that it will cost more in materials than simply ordering Paul’s Desk from Fastcap.
It is fairly quick and easy to build though, and if you already have materials in your shop, then it’s cheap to build and own.
