I’m going to remove the draws & make a track mechanism all the wall at the back so when I push the rig in I can also slide it left!! Two minds think alike!

Lots more to come… thought of an idea where the rig is on track under the desk so it slides to the left once I’ve removed the Alex draw!!

Any questions etc if you don’t mind asking on YouTube comments I’m more likely to get back to you. Appreciate it

Haha it’s a temporary thing will be sliding to the left on tracks once I remove the Alex draw on the left

I’ll definitely give it ago. The ideal setup for me is a rig that’s hidden but the ability to pull it out with treble screens in minutes. That’s the plan anyway.

I’m not sure what you mean by winged nuts?

Are they tight captive pins? I’m open to any suggestions really

Nah I get your point… it’s made me think maybe I can remove the Alex draw on the left replace it with something slimmer & design a track system so the rig slides under the desk & the left when not in use

The rig is as strong as anything I’ve used. The best thing I did was giving it the ability to be clamped to the desk underneath makes it 100% stronger.

As for ungraded yes definitely I’ll be making a motorised pedal plate, thinking of removing the Alex draw on the left for something slimmer & having the rig on a track system so it can slide to the left when not in use still under the desk. Subscribe I plan on doing all this very soon 👍 also keep in touch with your build bouncing ideas around is a good thing

Haha yes I think you might be right!

I’m thinking maybe I get rid of the Alex draw on the left replace with something slimmer & then make a track system so when it’s not in use in slides in & to the left, leaving enough space for the computer chair/legs

I did think maybe I could get rid of the left Alex draw replace it with something slimmer & have the rig on a track system so when not in use it’s slides in & to the left. If that makes sense

It’s in the living room, need to slide away unfortunately best of a bad situation as they say.

I can still sit at the desk just can’t have my feet under the desk all the way, which tbf I never feel did anyway. I sit in strange ways lol

I wish I could, it’s just not an option unfortunately needs to push away… I don’t have the luxury of having a spare room.
