How to Make the 007 Desk
Hello everyone, in this project i will show you how to transfer or recycle cartoon and paper in a useful way. I have been a long time planning for an overdesk to help me in studying and creating until i found the perfect design which is as i will show you here in my instructable step by step. This overdesk contains spot light (lamps) , fan, speakers and a secret boxes for hiding top secret objects for you.
NOTE: THIS PROJECT IS TOTALLY MADE OUT OF CARTOON EXCEPT THE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT.
Watch the Video
Here I present the final look of my project.
You Will Need Cartoon
Simple cartoon papers and an right angled one.
Materials and Tools Needed
- glue gun
- scissor
- blade
- marker and a pencil
- white glue
- scotch
- ruler
- drill
-
Screwdriver
-
Screws
-
spray paint
-
electric tube
Materials Needed
- 6V battery
- wires
- fan
- speakers
- switches
- lamps
Forming the Proper Design
- THE UPPER PART: 30cm on the straight part and 15cm on the inclined part and 15cm on the rear side with width=40cm.
- THE LOWER PART: L=75cm W=40cm (length and width)
Cut the Box Paper
Cut it as A4 size
Gathering the Box Paper
- Size: L=30cm W=22cm
- cut two rectangles with L=30cm W=3cm and another one but with L=15cm
- add at each terminal an 1cm square
- paint it with a spray
Forming the LOWER PART
cut the lower part as what you need to put in your overdesk, lamps, speakers......
and paint it
Setup the Lamps
fit the lamps in a way that can be convenient with your desk (distribute the spot lights).
Forming the TOP SECRET BOX
- cut the a rectangle with length L=40cm and width W=8cm
- cut another rectangle with L=40cm and W=16cm
- cut a square with a=8cm
Gathering the Top Secret Box
Gather the parts of the box using a glue gun.
Create the Word
- Form using an paper scotch the word that you need to spray it.
- be careful to insulate the letters well.
- paint it.
Take Off the Tape.
- After painting the box try to get off the tapes that form the word "Top Secret".
Painting!!!
- using a spray paint the whole project.
- try to make some decorative waves or any drawing to not make it classic or regular.
Adding the Right Angle
Using a glue gun and scotch tape stick the right angled cartoon to the upper part to give it strength.
READY TO SETUP THE WHOLE PROJECT
Drilling
Drill two holes to fix the overdesk using screws.
Fixing the Upper Part
- balance the upper part to be straight
- setup the upper part using a screw driver and a screw.
Forming the Control Panel
- use a small box for the control panel (here I used my smart watch box)
- cut the small box according to the number of switches you may put.
Set the Switches and Painting
- put each switch in it convenient place
- paint the box using a spray
WIRING the Circuit !!
- In wiring you will use the lamps, wires, switches,soldering....
- each component in this circuit is connected in parallel
- all of the circuit is connected to a 6V battery.
Wiring the Control Panel
- connect each switch to its convenient lamp
- first there is two switches for the two lamps
- and another one for the fan
- additionally to the wire AMF for speakers
- all of that is connected directly to the overdesk using an electric tube
Set the Components of the Project
- place the lamps closely to each other and glue them up
- place the fan and the speakers, then glue them
- here the speakers are connected separately to the control panel
- connect the negative wire of the two lamps and the fan together and connect it to the battery
- extend the positive wires from the lamps and the fan separately to the control panel.
NOTE: THE LAMPS AND THE FAN ARE CONNECTED IN PARALLEL
Place the EMERGENCY + LAMP
- pick a bright color like blue or red for the emergency lamp
- place beside the other lamps and glue it up.
ROLE OF THE EMERGENCY LAMP: In the case of battery low or the loss of electricity,then there is an alternative lamp that you can use it in this cases.
Set Up the LOWER PART
- after wiring the circuit you are ready to setup the lower part
- using a glue gun and scotch tape stick up the lower part complementary to the upper one on the wall.
Fix the Wires
- Fix the wires connected in the overdesk from the electric components to the control panel.
- fix them to the lower part.
Gathering the Wires
- Gather all the wires in an electric tube by putting them in it.
- by putting them in the electric tube it will decorate the view of wires.
Add the Both Parts
- after wiring add the lower part to the upper one by gluing them together.
- to be easier for you, use a tape to keep it fixed and then glue them together.
Strength the Setup
- add some wooden sticks between the upper part and the lower one.
- this prevent the deformation of the setup.
Decorating
decorate using a nice ribbon to hide the glued part.
Test the Circuit
- test the lamps, speakers and the fan.
- be careful to check them up before finishing it completely.
Place the Lock
- using wooden sticks cut two pairs of 2cm per peace.
- add them to the box paper at the center of each side in a right angled form.
Another Part of the Lock
- glue the form shown in the picture to the stick.
- be sure to make it convenient to the stick from the box paper.(the switch)
Setup the Box Paper in the Form
Fix a Cap to the Terminal of the Stick
- add a cubic cartoon cap to the stick of the lock.
- it give it a decorative view.
Add the Side Parts
- glue the both of the part sides of the overdesk to the other parts.
- cut a small place in these parts for the lock after connect it to the lock inside it.
Add the BOX PAPER
add the box paper to the whole system.
Before.....
before get up the hidden boxes or the secret boxes.
