I take my hat off to those who have mastered the art of turning sitting down. I have difficulty standing up and moving around in an attempt to stop the chisels from digging in.
__________________ Harry The best advice that I can give a newcomer to routing is, learn to use the router mounted, this can be as simple as a board held in a vice, with the router firmly attached and a simple fence held with clamps, and when he/she feels competant and confident in it's use and is familiar with all aspects of safety, THEN, and only then proceed to learn how to use the router hand held. This is MY opinion, and may or may not coincide with that of the forum management, but is based on a lifetime of woodworking. http://members.dodo.com.au/~sharry02/ | ||

It takes some practice to get used sitting but everything is learnable.

Hi Glenmore,,,,, I agree with you that if a person wants to do something,,,,,,, it can be accomplished..  Us humans always find a way.Hi ajh,,,, those are neat stools, knowing me though, I'd buy the axel and wheels and build one of wood. With my bad heel and knee, I have three stools I drag around and use it to kind of rest, when doing stand in one place jobs. I have a small stool (my daughter built) I use for the down on the ground jobs, and this works well, it is getting back up from down there,,,

i have no health problems,and fairrly young(33) but i like sitting down at my mini-lathe too.. i just used a regular wooden stool though.mostly when i'm at a craft-fair and demonstrating etc...making magic wands or pens or bottle stoppers etc,,, when i'm hollowing the end of something though like a small bowl or wine goblet i usualyl stand up,,its awkward otherwise..i cant imagine sitting at my full-size lathe if doing anything bigger(other than spindle turning),i need to shift my body and weight too much with that. | ||
