Rik Palm Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I'm curious what everyone is sitting on! I'm setting up for engraving and have been using an old stool. Its uncomfortable but I never seem to exchange it out for something better I just sit down and go! I tried an office chair the other day but that was too short and I didn't use the back rest except take a breather. Does your chair have a backrest? I also tried my telescope chair (heavy duty drummers stool) that work great and I can get the back for it if I want. Rik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janel Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I use an office chair with no arm rests. It has adjustable height and may have adjustment for the back rest which I never use. It has wheels, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Bonham Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I also use an office chair that is adjustible for height. It seems to work well and not hurt my back. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Hastings Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I sit on a deluxe Drafting "Stool". It’s really your basic Office chair with a comfortable bottom and a mid high back foot rest and wheels (no arms). The Drafting stool version will sit as low as a normal desk chair but the gas cylinder will raise it up taller than a barstool. I find this very handy for the different stations in my workshop. When I want to get even with the work or look down on it the chair adjusts instantly to the task with a fair amount of comfort. If anyone is curious about it I got mine from "Staples" they cost $125 regular price. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ford hallam Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I can confirm that Patrick has a very sensitive behind and so would imagine his recommended chair is extremely comfortable. As for me, being such a hard "behind", I sit on a pile of building rubble! Ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not to be Crass but, I literally got a hemroid from sitting on those tiny little childrens stools for three weeks. I wiegh in around 250 pounds. Those stools were like sitting on building rubble. Ford Is a feather weight and relatively those stools are like a couch for him hehe. I may have been better off sitting on a fence post I would do it agian though for all that I learned about metal working. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ford hallam Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Patrick, are you suggesting that I was a "pain in the rear", I`m so hurt . and as for suggesting that I`m a light-weight, grrrr you just wait. as always, Ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janel Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Kathleen, Do you stand at a desk or bench? How do you support your arms/hands, and lay out your tools? Cornel Schneider also stands, uses a large section of a tree as a bench when standing, I believe. When seated he uses a fine looking bench.

Ed Twilbeck Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 When I had my studio I had an office desk chair with arms. On the back of my studio I had a deck, That I used for most of my carving and I would prop my feet up on the railing, and carve away.
