    The Desk Project is an initiative that aims to promote the benefits of standing desks and encourage people to switch from traditional sitting desks to standing or adjustable ones. The project is backed by scientific research that shows the negative effects of prolonged sitting on the body and mind. The Desk Project website provides information on the benefits of standing desks, tips on transitioning to a standing desk, and reviews of various standing desk models.

    According to the Desk Project, sitting for prolonged periods of time is linked to a range of health problems, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and even some forms of cancer. Sitting also leads to poor posture, weakens core muscles, and causes back pain. Additionally, sitting for long hours has been linked to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.

    Standing desks offer several benefits over traditional sitting desks. For one, standing burns more calories than sitting, which can help with weight management. Standing also improves posture, strengthens core muscles, and reduces back pain. Moreover, standing desks can increase productivity and energy levels by promoting circulation and reducing fatigue. Standing desks have even been shown to improve cognitive function and concentration.

    The Desk Project suggests several tips for transitioning to a standing desk, including starting with short periods of standing and gradually working up to longer periods, investing in a good anti-fatigue mat, and wearing comfortable shoes with good arch support. They also suggest using a height-adjustable desk that can be easily raised or lowered to accommodate both sitting and standing.

    The Desk Project provides reviews of several popular standing desk models, including electric and manual models. They also provide a guide for choosing the right standing desk for individual needs, which takes into account factors such as desk height, weight capacity, and ease of use.

    Overall, the Desk Project aims to promote the benefits of standing desks and encourage people to make the switch for a healthier, more productive work environment. While standing desks may not be suitable for everyone, they may be a helpful solution for anyone looking to reduce the negative effects of prolonged sitting.

  • Creating an Ebony Spline with a Cloud Lift Design

    How to Make a Cloud Lifted Ebony Spline

    The article discusses how to create a cloud-lifted ebony spline for use in breadboard ends. Breadboard ends are pieces of wood attached to the end of a table top to provide additional support and stability. Greene & Greene (G&G) breadboard ends have a unique design where they are not flush with the edge or top of the table, but rather have a proud look.

    To create a cloud-lifted ebony spline, the first step is to create a template. The template is used to create the curved shape of the spline. Once the template is created, the spline material (in this case, ebony) is cut to the correct length and width. The spline is then shaped to match the template using various tools, including a band saw and a spindle sander.

    After the spline is shaped, the next step is to cut the mortise in the breadboard end where the spline will be embedded. The mortise is cut using a router and a special jig to ensure that it is the correct size and depth. Once the mortise is cut, the spline is fitted into it and glued in place.

    Finally, the spline is sanded and polished to give it a smooth, polished finish. The cloud-lifted design of the spline is meant to mimic the shape of clouds, giving it a unique and visually appealing look. This design is a hallmark of G&G furniture and is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.

    In conclusion, creating a cloud-lifted ebony spline for use in breadboard ends requires careful planning and execution. However, the end result is a beautiful and unique piece of furniture that is sure to impress.
