Great Job! Looks really cool with the red keyboard.

Thank you.

Love the simplicity, color coordination and the open angle shape. It seems like you could nest these really easily if you wanted to keep tiers on their own legs—something that is a little more challenging with rectangles. Or, were you going to build tiers into a single unit? Maker Pipe gives you the flexibility to do it however you want which is the best part!

Randy, I had thought about building the second tier on to this rack but using quick release hardware to make it removable. I like your nesting idea, as it would also make the second tier removable. Thanks for the comments and suggestions.

I was trying to imagine how the next keyboard would overlay above and behind. Seems like a nested setup would require the larger keyboard above/behind the smaller one so the lower level clears the inside of the upper front legs. That seemed a little counter-intuitive to have them get bigger going up.

It is fun to talk it through though. With either rectangles or this design you could definitely stair-step them and even connect multiple front legs to a common back legs set. Cantilevered shelves would work too, but all of these that I have seen have some level of bounce that I would find really distracting. Or, maybe it would not bounce at all? Might be worth a test. Now that I think of it, I hung a speaker out on a T-connector and a foot or so of conduit and it was pretty solid.

If I did not already own cheap folding tables I would have built a work from home desk like this, or at least something to hold big displays. Good luck with the build!

Oh, and I should mention, using the Minis is a great way to explore design ideas without cutting pipe.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions.

My original thought for the second tier, was to have the back legs be higher with a crossbar. From the crossbar, I was going to use t-connectors to make arms that could be tilted downward. I had planned to make a tab for the end of the arm, mounted with a threaded insert, to keep the keyboard from sliding. I don’t use the second keyboard much, so I just went with the single for now. If I get a chance I will make a model of two tiers, with the minis, and post a pic.
