I thought this would have been easier. Now my brain hurts. Great explanation and will come back to this when my brain is less cluttered and can absorb this information

[GLHerzberg]

Very glad you produced this valuable video. It provides a thorough explanation of the trigonometry and calculations behind the analysis without divulging too much info as to give away the process yet all the necessary info is there. Ya, just gotta pay attention! I think that creating the spreadsheet is left as an exercise for the student to enhance their comprehension.
Title typo in video at key-frame 0:00 - missing 2nd L in CALCUATION.

That was an amazing tutorial thanks. I would really appreciate a copy of the spreadsheet.

I built this spreadsheet based on his description of each triangle. It seems to work but difficult to determine if I have any errors. It would have been very useful to see the real life results in the video to see if my spreadsheet works correctly.

thanks a lot! can you share your spreadsheet?

[mjones]

Any way I could get a copy of the spreadsheet?

[wayneeaston]

@Aaron please could you share your spreadsheet. It would be so helpful as a reference. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

May have the excel sheet for my use please?

[cowboys]

It is really good for me. Noted where I understood and you correct me in advance after watching the video. Could you share the spread-sheet to me? Thank you so much.

If I turned this upside down, would it work with a murphy bed?

I have a 7 point hinge. The hinge point moves/floats elliptically as the arms lift, kind of like a scissor lift. How can I calculate this?

[giandomenicopriore]

hi, could you share this useful tool? Thanks in advance

[dalecaswell]

@Aaron is this spreadsheet something you could share?

All my life I've wondered, "why did we learn triganometry in school, I'll never use this in the real world"? Who'd have thought I'd need it to keep my toolbox lid up?? Now I wished I'd listened more in

[SharathShetty-pi]

Thank you very much for detailed video. Please upload the excel sheet.

Conversely, the brackets can be reversed. The curved one on the lid and triangular one on the inside of the box.This way the lid will snap shut keeping the lid fully closed and allow opening normally when it's opened by hand.

Are you willing to sell this spreadsheet?🙃

[undeadfury]

Why isn’t the excel document in the description? Does it not work?

[SD-njcy]

I actually need this in the real world. i just bought a tool box and it only opens 70-80 degrees. i want it to open 90 degrees. I have one pivot point i cant move and one i can. is there a resource i can leverage to just tell me how long and strong a gas strut i need to use? i stink at math
