"Oh wow. Nothing beats an electric adjustable desktop. I didn't know that you could just get the frame from Geekdesk. Thanks for sharing. This will be my ultimate goal. Very nice."

After just under a year with my "redneck engineered" treadmill desk, I've decided to go full steam ahead with a new desk. A few months ago I acquired a used TreadDesk treadmill, which was a good…Continue

I dont think it was the weight she was concerned about , but raising the center of gravity too high above the frame. that's when I started thing about raising it from underneath.
It would definitely be much simpler to just raise…"
Rick Boyett replied to Rick Boyett's discussion My Treadmill desk "experiment" is over."I don't think weight is an issue. A few pieces of scrap would only be about 5 to 10 lbs at the most. The Geekdesk v2 is rated at 275lbs. The Geekdesk max can lift 335lbs. "
Mark Walker replied to Rick Boyett's discussion My Treadmill desk "experiment" is over."Rick ,
Does that mean that you will be putting the chair directly on the treadmill ? I wonder if the feet of the chair could damage the tread ?
A while back I asked a Geekdesk phone rep about putting wood underneath the desktop to raise the height…"
Rick Boyett replied to Rick Boyett's discussion My Treadmill desk "experiment" is over."I haven't laid out the plans yet, but I'm planing to use 2x4 lumber to make the raise floor frame. This will have 1/2 or 3/4 inch plywood laid over it with the flooring on top of that. The 2x4s may have to be ripped so the…"

I'm 6'2" and don't think the desk will be tall enough for me. Thinking about using some 3 " Rolling…"

After just under a year with my "redneck engineered" treadmill desk, I've decided to go full steam ahead with a new desk. A few months ago I acquired a used TreadDesk treadmill, which was a good thing because I totally wore out my old treadmill shortly after that.Yesterday I ordered a new GeekDesk frame that I'm going to integrate with my old IKEA Galant desk. I also plan to build a raised floor so I can easily roll a chair over my treaddesk. I've got a lot of unused flooring I can use to…See More
Rick Boyett posted a status"TreadDesk owners: do you order your lubrication from TreadDesk or do you just use the lubrication found at most athletic equipment stores?"
Rick Boyett posted a status"Well, my redneck engineered tread mill finally gave up on me. Fortunately I bought a used TreadDesk a few months ago."
Bill Rush commented on Rick Boyett's photo
Redneck Engineering at its finest.
"did you ever get your control unit moved? I am having the same issue. I just bought a used Jerker and my Tmill will require the console to be moved as well."

My setup
"How about just building a keyboard stand on top of that shelf. That would also give you some extra storage below it."
Rick Boyett replied to stebboko's discussion Treaddesk owners - do you find the deck too short?"The motor shroud has a bow in the middle of it. I just pulled out my tape measure. It is 48" from the apex of that bow to the trailing edge of the tread. The entire treaddesk is 58" long. The length of the tread…"
Rick Boyett replied to stebboko's discussion Treaddesk owners - do you find the deck too short?"I'm 6'2" and think the deck length on my treaddesk is just fine."
