Making A Desk That Grows With A Child | FlexiSpot Pro Plus Standing Desk Frame E7
In this video, Leo and I are going to make a desk for him. A motorized standing desk is a perfect for a child because it will adapt to his changing height as he grows. Leo has been a great helper in my workshop and he continues to learn. This was a fun project that the two of us worked on over two weekends (arriving Saturday at 3pm and departing Sunday at noon).

The video made me smile. 😀
Very well done, Leo! It was nice of Mike to just be there for emotional support.
Dude, that kid is really smart for his age. Holy cow...
Yes!!!!!
Fancy matching shirts! It's important that a woodworking team have a uniform. For a young fellow, Leo sure seems to be a pretty effective helper. Nice, pleasant, and direct instruction does help keep his attention. It is great to see a well-oiled, plaid machine at work!
Leo's outtake was the best! Great work as always!
Reminds me of when my boys were growing up.
Believe it or not, I was just thinking about leo the other day and hoping he would return to your channel. The matching flannel shirts is too much. Loved it. Great job Mike and give Leo an attaboy for me!
Nice one Mike & Leo it looks great
He's showing an amazing amount of dexterity. It looks like hes having an easier time putting in Allen screws than I do🤣
oh wow. Leo is so big now.
He definitely has! This desk will be perfect for him as he continues to get taller.
Nice project, nice to have the Leo get involved in his desk.
Ilmu yang bermanfaat buat anak kita sangat bagus sejak dini harus di ajarkan hal hal yang berguna.., Luarbiasa sekali.
Really beautiful work, Mike! Amazing looking desk!!! 😃 I really liked Leo's attitude during the process! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Awesome work, this desk is great!
You rule man
Beautiful Desk! "What do you mean, you don't have enough clamps" "You never have enough clamps" A reality they do not teach at school 🙃
If someone had enough clamps, Mike, that person wouldn't have enough space for glue ups. 😬 (I'm not in the middle of the video yet)
It's cool that you built this kid a desk, but i doubt he will have the patience to sit in one place long enough to use it.
Mike, Fantastic work! TopTes sent you an email to follow up.
