Stand up - sit down. Why not both?

Happy New Year everyone! I figure let's get this started by sharing my fist project of the new year. I rebuilt my workspace and I wanted to share with you my new adjustable height desk. I got the frame of it from Amazon here. On top I am using a cheap-o-ikea tabletop, I was able to mount that and my monitor arms on the back with the addition of a piece of hardwood and some metal hardware. I have my large monitor on an arm now and I am waiting to get the backplate for the Cintiq so they can both be on arms. Should be all finished off by next week!

Frame assembly. Fairly easy and it is very sturdy!!

Almost complete. Sliding the old tabletop onto the new frame. This was easy because of the adjustability.

  1. Superb workplace, the table with adjustable height is wonderful idea ! Wonder if sculpting in standing position would make significant difference and will relieve the backpain ?

    Anyway, would you mind telling what is the author of the two sculpting books that are shown in the pictures?

  2. Hi Vertex Bee! I really enjoy sculpting while standing. At least for a few hours at a time. It really does help, plus I am able to move the cintiq right up to my face so I dont have to hunch over. Yes, here are the book links here: http://www.amazon.com/Philippe-Faraut/e/B001K8XHSS/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_2?qid=1389826298&sr=8-2

    Highly recommend them! This guy is amazing!

  3. Hi Robert, thanks a lot for the info about the books, I know the work of Pihilippe Faraut, but I wasn't aware he has published books...great !

    As for the desk, I already found where to buy similar one, and will go to check it out soon. Thanks a lot Robert, I was thinking of buying one for a long time, but after I saw your blog post, I was assured that it will make a difference :)

    Cheers!
    Martin
