Everything about this interview is amazing:

Jump down to "Why did you design a watchmaking bench?"

The bench itself is impressive too.

oh thanks, I forgot to include that page. That's the really amazing one.

This is a great article. Thanks for sharing.

Also: where are the fume extractors?

Too bad that those tables don't seem to be adjustable, you're still going to have problems if you're too tall.

Maybe buy a height-adjustable standing desk. I used one of these for about 10 months working on a project in Denmark where the motorised versions seemed very common. Gives a break from sitting down all and useful for huddling a couple of colleagues around.

Make sure it's a sturdy one. All of the standing desks I've worked at were only supported by two poles, and weren't particularly stable along the long axis. I wouldn't want to use them for electronics work, bench supplies and oscilloscopes are a lot heavier than monitors and keyboards.
