Re: Do you sit or stand while torching?
The bench that I sit at is at a level designed for sitting but i used a rotory saw and sawsall to cut out the section at the front below my torch and then attached a steel pipe T to the inside 2 x 4 and slid a 2 foot section of pipe into it and attached it to the bottom of the section I cut out and attached my torch back to that. I drilled a hole in the T and threaded it so I could put in a bolt to lock it in place. sso know when I sit it looks like a normal bench , but when I want to stand or need more room blow the torch I just loosen the locking bolt and raise it to the desired height and then relock it. works excellent and cost about $15 since i already owned the required tools

Re: Do you sit or stand while torching?
I have a disability with painful nerve damage in my feet and hands, I can't stand for more than five minutes.
The heat feels sooooo good on my hands, luckily I can still work glass.

Re: Do you sit or stand while torching?
I tend to stand when I'm doing large or heavy projects. Its comfortable to sit when doing smaller things but I have a disability that doesn't allow that anymore. Back in 2003 I used to sit most of the time , after watching hamm and Marcel work i realized sitting limited my work while standing didn't. Standing is a good practice that strengthens your core. Sitting sucks for posture and a bunch of other reasons. Don't sit.

I got a $50-$100 chair from Staples. Bar stools hurt my back. Plus chair has wheels.

Re: Do you sit or stand while torching?
they had laZboy office chairs on sale for $99 at staples a couple of months ago and i picked one up for the computer room, such a badass chair. it's going to be too low for my new bench though.
i'm sort of looking for a nice graphic design chair, one of those tall rubberized deals with wheels and a foot rest. i've found it helps my back a whole lot to have lots of footrests.
incidentally, i'm building the bench tall so i can stand while i'm working if i want to, at least until the ass pain subsides. ass pain. ASS PAIN!!1

Re: Do you sit or stand while torching?
that's basically what i'm looking for, except the ones i've seen don't have big pads and stuff, they're just rubberized ??? with a nice ass-pad and no arms. i tend to rest my elbow on my knee for detail work and armrests are kind of useless.
