  2. Top 4 reasons to have a monthly home improvement budget

    You may not have any major renovation plans in mind, but it is recommended to have a monthly home improvement budget.  Any guesses why?  Read on to know more.

    1. To be future-ready- It’s surprising how stuff suddenly needs repairs. The boiler that was working just fine until yesterday refuses to behave itself today, or the fridge simply decides not to cool anymore. There’s no way you can put off these urgent repairs and here’s where your monthly home improvement budget will come in handy. You’d have already set aside money for such problems and won’t be forced to look through the kids’ piggy-banks for the much-needed cash. 
    2.  To keep you financially organized- All of us have an urge to spend on a particular sort of stuff. Some go crazy shopping for their wardrobe, some for shoes, some for tools, and some simply can’t hold themselves back when they step into an Ikea or Wayfair store. The next time you’re out shopping for the home, think of your budget. It will help keep a check on your

  4. Cool CNC cart build using a TV lift mechanism

    If you are a serious woodworking enthusiast, you will at some point in time need a CNC cart for your tools. Of course, you’ll need to take care of quite some paraphernalia. This DIY video tutorial by Jonny Builds shows just how useful a CNC cart can be, and how cool it can be, especially when fitted with a hidden TV lift mechanism

    [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJH6QwrMW_0[/embed]

    Advantages of a CNC cart with a hidden TV lift mechanism

    1. Increased mobility- it is always a good idea to have a CNC cart that you can wheel around. This makes it easier to move the computer system closer to a power supply or closer to the machinery as need be. The greater the mobility, the easier things are.
    2.  Keeps your system safe- Even though you can opt for machines with a dust collection system in place, it is always recommended to keep your computer away from dust. So if your computer monitor is mounted on a hidden TV lift mechanism and is housed in a CNC cart, you can safely tuck it away when

  5. 4 problems spring cleaning can help you fix

    Spring cleaning isn’t just about clearing the clutter. You just need to pay close attention to discover stuff about your home and your life. 

    Here are 4 problems that spring cleaning can help you uncover:

    1. The actual status of your wardrobe- Most of us buy clothes and accessories right through the year and it’s only when we get down to spring cleaning that we realize how much stuff we’ve collected over the years. But that isn’t even the problem. The real problem is having tons of stuff, but only a fraction that’s in use. So, look through your wardrobe and identify stuff that you should really be giving away, to actually clean up the space (and make room for new stuff)!
    2. The grand collection of old phones- Technology changes rapidly, and so do our tastes and with it, our phones. And what do we do with the old mobiles? Just put them away somewhere, until spring cleaning, when we discover that put together, there are many such mobiles unnecessarily taking up room in a drawer. The solution-

  7. DIY space-saving TV lift mechanism PC and utility cart

    Anything that saves you room and gives you flexibility becomes an asset, just like the TV lift mechanism. The TV lift mechanism, coupled with the creative ideas from Wood.Work.LIFE. can make life so much easier. These ideas score high on practicality without compromising on aesthetics. You can watch the video here. 

    The folks at Wood.Work.LIFE. built a utility cart with tools and a hidden P.C. monitor. If you are a business owner you certainly need a PC. It is impossible to work without a system that keeps track of everything from supplies, sales, to deliveries, and so on. If you need a system, obviously you also need space to set it up. That means a particular portion of your counter space is permanently dedicated to the computer. There’s nothing you can do about it even if you need that space for something else.  

    But what if you could make the monitor disappear and have all the wires gone, so you have a perfectly clear counter space to do whatever you need to? That is exactly what

  8. Practical bedroom upgrade with a hidden TV lift mechanism

    What do you do when your bedroom is all good, but your TV is too low? Well, if you are a DIY enthusiast, you do what Mike from Modustrial Maker did– build a concrete countertop and stash away a hidden TV lift mechanism underneath, that conveniently appears at the touch of a button!

    The concrete is unique and the TV mounted on the hidden TV lift mechanism is magical. Couldn’t have been a better mix of style and practicality, while having fun with a creative project. You can watch the video here, for detailed information. 

    The most common problems of having a TV in the bedroom are:

    1.  Lack of space- If you have a TV on a dresser or a cabinet, placing anything else on the top gives a very cluttered look. Not the best thing for a bedroom, which is ideally supposed to give you a ‘peace of mind’ feel. A hidden TV lift mechanism or a hidden TV lift cabinet fixes that problem by simply putting the TV away when you aren’t watching it. 
    2. Focus on the TV- More often than not, the focus of a bedroom

  9. The pros of a wall mounted TV lift mechanism and cabinet

    Unsure about how to install and mount a TV lift mechanism on the wall and build a TV lift cabinet? Here’s a quick DIY video tutorial, by Ken from Moonpie Creations, complete with details and handy tips. 

    Ken decided to put the TV lift mechanism on the wall and then placed the TV lift cabinet above it to cover up the TV lift mechanism and the TV. The results are impressive and there for you to see.

    Some advantages of getting the TV lift mechanism and TV lift cabinet on the wall:

    1. Saves room- When your TV is going up on the wall, it is obviously freeing up floor space. Also, where Ken put it, it is totally out of the way, leaving enough room on the walls for other artistic displays. So, no cluttered floor space or bare walls.
    2. Saves material and labor- Since the TV lift mechanism is going up on the wall, there is no need to make the rear face of the TV lift cabinet. It is unnecessary and won’t be seen anyway. So, that’s an entire

  10. How a hidden TV lift mechanism bar fits in with the decor trends in 2024

    The third year into the pandemic has already seen a lot of interior decor trends come clearly through. Many things have changed, but the hidden TV lift mechanism bar remains evergreen.

    Let’s see how this hidden TV lift mechanism bar by Nathan Builds goes perfectly well with the latest trends. (You can watch the detailed tutorial on how to build a secret bar using a hidden TV lift mechanism here.)

    1. Focus on socializing aspect of the home- With Covid restrictions being imposed every now and then, it makes a lot more sense to simply get the socializing set-up going at home. It’s your space and your chance to experiment. This secret bar, built using a hidden TV lift mechanism is a fun project for DIY woodworkers and also a great addition to your party scene. The self-revealing shelves are quite cool. 
    2. Ditch the non-utility stuff- Spending so much time at home has inspired all of us to cut the clutter and get rid of stuff that serves
