天才！仓鼠轮桌子
You've heard of standing desks, but what about walking desks? Maybe this one-of-a-kind DIY desk is the piece that any office worker needs to lose that extra 5 pounds—all while answering email and meeting deadlines.
有DIY办公桌，然后有D-i-y桌子。我们了解到，当我们遇到这个所谓的“仓鼠架楼盘”时，由Autodesk的Pier 9艺术家共同创建罗布神南和指令开发人员Will Doenlen。It certainly looks like it’s fun to use—but why did they do it? We asked the makers to share.
As Will put it, “Standing desks are becoming more and more common in companies across the United States, but why stop there? We know that standing is better than sitting, but why not go the extra mile and make a desk you can walk on to keep active?”
But building the walk-able desk wasn’t a cake walk. “Cutting large curves from wood is difficult to do precisely,” said Robb. “Luckily, our employer has a world-class work shop on San Francisco’s Pier 9 that has advanced computer controlled cutting tools that made it quite trivial.”
事实上，Autodesk的码头9听起来像是专业DIYER的地方。根据robb，“这里的设施和工具只是由令人难以置信的社区的辉煌和慷慨的慷慨制造商的令人难以置信的人，每次”谁“聚集在一起，每天都会令人难以置信的东西。”我们很高兴他们的创造性聪明才智煮沸了一个像这个项目一样酷。
桌子看起来真的很棒 - 但我们不得不问。有没有人实际上可以从中获得任何里程？据说是的，但承认有时他会“在我厌倦走路时使用正常的桌子休息。”

STEP 1
First, design your wheel. Things that are made to fit people are subject to lots of careful consideration. Ergonomics and safety are very important to any furniture project.
我们考虑增加刹车,但决定反对it in order to really force the productivity out of the desk user. In the end, we decided on a wheel 80″ in diameter that would be supported by a 24″ wide base that contained a set of four skateboard wheels on which the wheel would rest. This design allows fluid rotation without requiring an axle for the wheel.
我们已经拥有一个穿过车轮的常设桌子，所以这只是避免干扰和留下足够的人类的问题。
在几个小时的过程中，轮子设计了Autodesk Inventor。查看文件here。
STEP 2
We used a waterjet cutter to cut the arcs from four sheets of plywood, but this project could certainly be completed with ordinary power tools.
电弧碎片最难制造，因为它们的精确度是平稳操作的钥匙。用作罗盘的仔细测量串可用于在一块胶合板上绘制弧形，这可以用拼图切割。具有模板和修剪位的手路由器将相当直接的复制。
但是，我们都在Autodesk的码头9上的指示灯HQ工作，并且可以访问大型omax Waterjet刀具。它是一种计算机控制机，使用高压水射精进入任何材料，只要它小于6“厚度。木材，任何金属，玻璃，石材 - 任何材料都有任何形状。你可能会认为用水削减木材疯了，但它拯救了很多时间，因为我们可以在彼此的1/8“中嵌套部分。此外，精度用于平稳轧制和完美注册组装时的堆积。
STEP 3
我们使用了一张桌子锯和剁锯切出剩余的木板，用于跨越车轮的两个环。总共有60个板条。我们使用胶合板，因为我们手头有。1“x6”松果会很棒，看起来更好，但花费更多。
步骤4
放出戒指。车轮由两个带有两个60多个胶合板板条的轮环组成，在轮辋之间。
第5步
We then glued the layers of each ring together, staggering the two layers by 60° to maximize overlap and stability. Initial clamping was done with ¼”-20 cap screws and T-nuts, followed by about 20 clamps. Glue was wiggled out liberally, spread with a piece of paper, then clamped to kingdom come.
Pro tip: A sign of a good glue-up is squeeze-out, a small amount of glue emerging along the glue seam indicating complete dispersion of glue.
第6步
The base consists of two large, hot-dog shaped pieces of wood, each of which holds two skateboard wheels. The two plates are held together with 5/16″ threaded rods inside steel pipes to pull the plywood sides together. The length of the pipe is key, and had to be changed a few times. Too short and the wheel won’t spin, and too long and it wiggles too much.
使用带有两个挡泥板和两个锁紧螺母的5/16帽螺钉连接滑板轮与底座连接到底座上。如图所示，第一个锁紧螺母应超紧，第二个锁紧螺母，稍微松动，以避免损坏车轮。
第7步
一旦组装底座，我们就测试了圆环上的动作，以确保它们自由旋转，并没有击中管道或捕获锯齿状边缘。
第8步
满足戒指可以旋转底座，然后将板条拧到车轮上。这部分是棘手的 - 我们不得不重做几次，因为我们发现车轮的两个环之间的距离会在越来越多的板条上向上或向下爬行。解决方案是以沿环的战略90°间隔拧入几个先驱板条中，以便在围绕板条时保持环之间的固定距离。
我们花了五个人在一起工作了几个小时。我们经历了大约250颗螺丝，或者我们可以在木店找到的每个螺丝。
