Diversification of working postures is very important to your health. Sitting and standing alternate posture office work is becoming more and more popular, and height adjuatble table has also become very popular.
The ergonomic height adjustable table makes you no longer sit in the same position for several hours. This diverse office posture can also increase creativity, energy, concentration, and even increase calorie burn.
The Electric Standing Desk has a control panel with 4 memory keys allowing users to save the settings of 4 preset heights, and there is also a USB charging port, which is convenient for charging your electronic products.

Building an Outdoor Table (Part 3)
In this final post, I'll wrap up the project by discussing the joinery techniques I used and why, followed by the finish for this outdoor table and the reasoning behind it. To recap, in **Part 1** of this series, I walked through the design of the table and the wood I chose—white oak. In **Part 2**, I focused on milling the wood and preparing the pieces for joinery, as well as how to layout the components for maximum visual appeal. Now, we're putting everything together and getting the table ready for its final placement.
**Joinery – Drawboring**
As with any table, a mortise and tenon joint is the obvious choice for connecting the apron to the legs. It’s strong, time-tested, and reliable. When designing this table, I knew I would use a mortise and tenon joint, but I also wanted to add an extra layer of strength and durability by incorporating a drawbore. I explained what a drawbore joint is and how to make one in **this post**, so I recommend checking that out for more details.
To create the joint, I used my drill press to bore out most of the material. However, the legs were too tall for my mortising machine, which was a bit frustrating. After drilling the rough holes, I finished the joints by hand using a mallet and chisel, as shown in the image below. One thing to note: I had already cut the tenons and used them to mark the mortises, which you can see in the photo. Once the joints were complete, I did a dry fit to get a sense of how the table would look before gluing.
At this stage, I noticed the table looked a bit too boxy, so I decided to add a slight taper to the inner faces of the legs—where the rails attach. But I waited until after the drawbore was done to make those cuts. The image below shows the fully assembled base with the subtle tapers on the legs, giving it a more refined appearance.
Once the glue dried, I trimmed the excess dowels from the drawbore pegs and sanded the surface to prepare for the finish.
**Outdoor Finish**
You can revisit **Part 1** of this build to understand why I chose white oak for this project. Since this table will be used outdoors year-round, I needed a durable finish. I did some research and found several options, but many required frequent maintenance. Instead, I turned to my boating hobby for inspiration—white oak has long been used in boat construction, and I decided to go with **Epifanes** clear varnish. This marine-grade finish is designed to protect wood from water and UV damage, making it perfect for this outdoor table.
The application process involves thinning the product at first and building up layers over time. I applied five coats, allowing each to dry for about 24 hours. Epifanes is easy to maintain—just sand lightly and apply a couple more coats when needed. This should keep the table looking great for years to come.
That's all for now. I have a few other projects in the works and might have a big announcement soon, so stay tuned!
