ergonomics

[Diane Hofstetter]

I found a good stool at Walmart for sitting higher: it's light weight 
tubular metal--black, folds up, costs only about $10, attractive, and they 
sell cushions to fit on top for about $6 more.   Then there are mechanic 
stools for  siitting lower,  you can put your tools in the tray underneath 
the seat and roam all around on the swivel wheels, and finally, a mechanic's 
creeper for installing Damppchasers under grand pianos.

A colleague of mine used a milking stool for working
on damper systems and found it was just the right
height!
