Welcome Al to the forum. Yes I use my little stool there in my avartar all the time. Made it myself to be consistent with all my working surfaces. And can roll from one station to another. Even made my bench top drill press and 14" bandsay that I can sit at it. Just elimated the stand that came with the bandsaw and built my own.

How do you keep the rolling seat from wandering away from the lathe when you apply pressure with a tool such as a gouge? I'm using a stationary stool but it's less than satisfactory when I have to go from the lathe to the grinder etc. | ||

 All kidding aside if you are using that much pressure you aren't sharpening your tool to well. Ether that or you are at a bad angle I have it set up that the tool is in the center with an upward angle.

I'm not what anyone would describe as a lightweight but I know from experience that it takes very little side force to get me moving on a wheeled stool on a cement floor. I don't want to be juggling my manipulation of my tools with trying to hold my position on a rolling stool. I really like your idea but I'm struggling with how I can implement it in my shop, half the garage. Perhaps I can find a way to lock/unlock at least one wheel while sitting on the stool, maybe an extension on a castor lock lever that I can manipulate with my toe. | ||

Bob sorry didn't get back to you sooner. You could use a regular footed stool if you wanted to. The wheels on my stool is just my preference to myself. But don't worry I don't have to worry about it rolling around under me. hahaha
