Got my boy to take some pics today here is me sitting at my lathe. You will see some of the bandsaw behind me well I'm good at hiding stuff behind me.  There that should take care of any Dr. Zook comments

Nice, real nice Glenmore, and I was only going to ask if your boy was using a "WIDE" angle lens on the camera.

I'm sure that Glenmore will appreciate your thoughts Bj, but I think the one he uses is much more manoeuvreable and takes up less space.
__________________ 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/ | ||

Hi Harry In his snapshot it looks like his shop is very small and he can only move up and down or to say along the work bench, the green one will let him spin around to get to the band saw and the other work bench, plus when he gets up it will not get stuck in the crack so to speak.. and should help with his back..======== Quote:

Bj you can sit and spin my chair does just that it spins and rolls. Plus the height of the one you shown wouldn't be high enough.

I am glad to see I am not alone when it comes to sitting in front of the machines. If I am going to be at a machine and/or bench I have stools that I sit on. My back can not handle long periods of standing. | ||
