It's really an easy decision for me: kneeling is very painful, so I only do it during the process of leaning on the bench and getting down onto the floor. And back up again, which is worse. So I park my fanny on the bench, and do the work beside me on the bench, (especially a duet bench) or on the keys, or I just pick it all up and walk to the dining room table. I put something down, like a wad of newspaper, or a shop towel, so I don't drip CA on the table top :-(, etc. I use the shop towel a lot, wherever I do a little hand work, to keep glue off the keys or case, to keep all the little bits together and visible, etc. Susan Kline -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
