New wood turning workshop - table height for T-8 sharpening station?

Dear fellow turners,
I am a rather new wood turner - went for a weekend course with my father and brother and I ended up falling hard for turning.
I managed to get myself a small new shop that I'll dedicate to turning. I have some nice old kitchen cabinets that I'll incorporate into the shop.
I invested in the Tormek T-8 once I knew that I was getting serious about turning as a hobby. The T-8 will get it's own station in the workshop using one of the cabinets.
For knife sharpening it seems that the optimal working height is the top of the T-8 machine itself around navel height, but how do you feel about the height for sharpening turning tools? As I will hopefully soon have more time for turning, it means spending more time at the T-8 as well, so I am hoping to get it set up nicely from the start  :D

Your input is much appreciated!
