Spray clear coat, hex driver, high grit sandpaper, elbow grease and a few hand tools. And how to use all of them.

The amount of experience behind that analysis is pretty high. You have a lot of knowledge that you got somehow. Maybe by growing up around it, maybe by taking a class or something else.

Lots of people don’t have that knowledge or the experience to do it well. And don’t really want it. None of it is all that hard, and about anyone could learn the basics pretty fast.

But lots of people prefer doing other things instead of working up that knowledge. Or, even more, figuring out that this knowledge is available and not that hard to learn.

Some projects are hard for beginners and just figuring out if their idea of a desk qualifies is even more work.
