New work bench

Hi Guys

The underside of the bench is 870mm from the floor. This was a convenient height because I could then use kitchen breakfast bar legs.

I'm buying a new chair with adjustable height too as I sometimes feel I need to sit lower still.

I use a stool, I found a local company that makes commercial furniture and bought myself a dentist stool, it has a ring around the underside of the seat for raising or lowering so you don't need to hunt for a leaver when you want to raise or lower the chair.

It cost more than a stool would of cost at the local furniture shop, but it is better in every way.

I like your bench too

Dentist stool is a good idea. 

As im a drummer, you may want to look into a drum throne as well. Some have back rests as well but the basic ones have lots of adjustments for height (usually threaded rod) and are quite cheap these days.

Hi Guys. Just a little updated photo of my new work station. Camera setup is great for helping me see what I am doing on the screen, due to the usual mid life eye deterioration. Chair I went for is an office type with adjustable height and tilt, seems comfy so far. Have a great weekend. Rick

I like the camera and screen setup. Is that about how far you would normally have the lens from your work? Is there any chance you could post a pic of how well your camera can zoom in on the movement at a distance you would normally work from. I'm thinking of something similar, which would be well handy as I take a lot of pics as I'm stripping down. I've even got a floor pedal I could rig to work as a trigger for the shutter. Really nicely done!

    • that band is old as stated, there is a kit that pops up from time to time on selling sites for the repair of these type bands, some of this type are adjustable on a few links, one adjustable type allows you to align the round opening in the expansion slit [like yours] with the rivet to separate, but if yours won't come out then the rivet head is too big and will have to be done with some rivet removal and replacement, I suppose if you could make/optain the correct rivets that one could alter the said band, the tops/caps do lift off after raising the tabs....  
    • This is a watch from a friend who sent it to a neighborhood watchmaker for a battery change. It came back with the watch stem in a ziplock bag and the dial skewed 20°. The watchmaker told him that the stem was faulty and the watch cannot be repaired. I opened up the watch and found that one dial foot was broken off and still stuck in the movement, while the other was bent until it was flat against the dial. The stem could be inserted but it couldn't be pulled out to quickset and time adjusting positions. I did a full disassemble, cleaned and oiled the movement. But when it put in the battery, the second hand runs super fast. Like it gains 30 mins every hour. Any advice on fixing this problem? TIA.
    • I determined that the balance staff is rotating, not the roller table, so my second attempt at riveting was unsuccessful. I have ordered a new balance staff and will take measurements when it arrives. The balance staff i originally ordered (and now reordered) was specified as: Replacement balance staff: (A. Schild Caliber 984 1002 1021 1124 Original Balance Staff Part 723) so it should be correct. Measurements: (see pic below for terminology) xxxyy is a place holder until the new balance staff arrives. Lower pivot: Old - .08 mm New - xxxyy Lower pivot to balance seat: Old - 1.53 mm New - xxxyy Roller shoulder: Old - .42 mm New - xxxyy Hub: Old - xxxyy New - xxxyy Balance shoulder: Old - .86 mm New - xxxyy Collet shoulder: Old - .56 mm New - xxxyy Upper pivot: Old - broken New - xxxyy
    • Hello and welcome from Leeds.  We're here to help. 
    • I was just about to adk that, probably they have unnecessary waiting lists to make their watches appear more exclusive than they actually are.
