Lab V2.0 making : one more step in the right direction today !
Just received.... a lovely rolling chair !
I know, I know... doenst sound like much but trust me... it is a game changer.
Previous chair did not roll, so had to get up even just to get to the soldering iron on the far left, or to get to the big drawer blocks on either side. A pain.
The bench is almost 3.5m long, shelves 2m long, so I had to get up the chair to get to ANY thing, all the time.
Also, there is no cushion, butt hurt quick.
Also, the bench sits 50mm / 2" higher than standard, because 3.5m is quite long, so had to support the OSB panels that make up the bench, with a couple long wooden beams, 50X150mm cross section, themselves supported at either end by the drawer blocks.
So I was sitting way too low, really not comfortable at all.
So I put a folded blanket on the chair to both provide some cushion and at the same time rise my butt closer to the bench surface a little bit... helps, but still a pain.
ENTERS... this beauuuuutiful rolling chair ! It solves all 3 problems at once ! All for 90 euros delivered to my door, this morning. There were cheaper ones at local stores but they were really shitty, so I ordered that one on-line from a website that sells office stuff. Was discounted, looked good enough, gave it a try.. not disappointed, does the job.
Has seen only maybe an hour of use so far today, but I am already sold, I am in heaven, in love with this thing... doing anything at the bench is now an order of magnitude more pleasurable, it is an invitation to work at the bench and do stuff !
Also, the springy action of the pneumatic cylinder helps getting my big butt airborne, so even more comfort !
