A new member's first question and a little background. Back before the Salk and later Sabin polio vaccines were invented, I spent a summer and early fall so weak that the lyrics of Pink Floyd's - Comfortably Numb barely describe that experience. It's years later - I can barely endure the pain of standing for any period of time. Over the past several years I have slowly been converting the parts of my workshop to areas where I can be seated in an office chair to do as much as possible. My knife sharpening area is desktop high (~30") and I can sharpen with almost no pain with my various sharpening devices. But sharpening bigger edges requires the use of a larger machine - my Tormeks. I have two so I don't have to lift stones to change to 4000 grit.
My question centers around my desire for a seated sharpening station for my Tormeks. How low should I make my benchtop so that I can work on sharpening tools comfortably and safely?
