    Setting down & pen turning

    Well having been to the chiropractor 3 times since Tuesday & not wanting to give up pen turning yet I set up my Jet mini on top of saw horses where I could set down & turn, well it worked & with a foot control peddle & was quite pleasant. I think I may make or modify stand .

    I usually find it much easier to be wrong once in while than to try to be perfect.

    My web page has a pop up. It is a free site, just close the pop up on the right side of the screen

    Bart,

    You did a great job on the pen! Take good care of yourself!

    Please post pix of your stand when you are finished.

    If sitting down works for you go for it. I know a couple people that do it. I personally found that for general turning about elbow height is about right but for pens I have my mini set up much higher and find it alot easier on my back. Just a thought that you may want to try.
