    Glenn, I love your videos! And this is another BRILLIANT IDEA! You make great looking things, and what I especially like, is your editing. Too many people make videos where the audio goes from talking, to screaming power tools because they don’t adjust the volume! So I like that you narrate over the videos. Always inspirational work, Glenn! Great job! 👍

    Pretty awesome mate!. I've been standing for 3 years (I'm a computer programmer). I built my own stand up desk from a simple 750mm x 500mm MDF board that's got glued on faux leather. It's been placed on the top of my existing desk raised up by two extended monitor shelves. It's really perfect (as I have multiple monitors). I've always planned to make a better one, but this one is so good and simple I've never prioritised it. Anyway your build was awesome and has given me some great ideas.

    Standing desk is 100% good for back pain - as a person with chronic back pain I can tell you - 100%. I switched to a standing desk last Jan and noticed massive improvement I've had to switch back to a sitting desk this week and after just 2 days sitting the level of pain comes right back. You might want a wider base in both directions to maintain stability when raised, or if you are going to put full size monitors on it. Love your channel - Keep it up !
