I have a cheap (under $15) wood stool from the World of Wally that I keep in the shop for when I have company.... it's more in the way than useful for me as I rarely ever sit down in the shop... most often when I'm sanding pepper mills and bowls between coats of finish. It does catch a bowl blank or such if I need to lay it down but don't want it on the floor where I have to bend order to pick up again... I keep it mostly for my friend that comes over periodically and has bad knees so he needs to sit some.
