    I've got some foam floor pads I'll put on the floor to stand on. I'm tired of sitting for hours on end.

    Oh, and I did notice!

    Ok, So I've got a prototype 'stand' put together and using it on my desk. Cheap plywood and pocket screws...

    I'll give it a shot tomorrow to see how it works.

    No pictures? It didn't happen.

    Inspecting mirrors is a job I could easily see myself doing.

    So I started using it today, but it was way too high (47" from the ground). Have to get some work done, so later I'll trim it down a bit and see how that works.

    Ok, First full day on the S.D. and I liked it. Height was at 42". I've got a little bar stool I can sit on if I need to, but it's so uncomfortable that I don't do it for long.

    Off to day 2!

    Of course you know with out pictures, we are in the dark on this project.
    If you don't take pride in your work, life get's pretty boring.

    Rule of thumb is if you don’t know what tool to buy next, then you probably don’t need it yet.
