Making an Ergonomic Desk The narrator describes his process of creating an ergonomic desk, with specific requirements such as a curved edge, a thickness of at least 20mm, and a mechanism for adjusting the height of the desk. He initially considers purchasing a desk but ultimately decides to make one himself, using a trapezoid shape to maximize the workspace.

Refinishing the Desk The narrator describes his process of refinishing the desk, including sanding down the original finish, applying a chemical stripper, and using a stain. He also discusses the process of adding a lifting mechanism to the desk, including calculating the necessary force and purchasing a motor with a high enough torque.

Connecting the Motor The author accidentally ordered the wrong motor and needed to figure out how to connect it to the mechanism. They used a hexagonal shaft and a powerful three-position toggle switch to control the direction of the motor.

Building the Desk The author built a custom desk with a pink-stained wooden top and a motorized lift mechanism controlled by a small toggle switch. They found the desk to be comfortable and functional, and recommend using a similar design for anyone looking to build their own desk.
