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!

      Setting power reserve on LeCoultre Futurematic

      By watchfellow · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies. It seems setting the hand is a bit of a guessing game, and I thought there would be a very specific way to do it. Since the reserve indicator hand moves clockwise as the spring is wound, I tried setting it right at the start of the black side. But setting it there doesn't really make sense, because by the time the spring is halfway wound, the hand is only at the end of the red side... In my head halfway wound shouldn't mean the hand is still "in the red."

      Lovely part of the country! I spend most of my days driving along the A64 for work in and around York. I'll be sure to drop plenty of questions soon! I've actually got a couple of watches on the way that I'm pretty sure I'll need some help with! They look pretty beat up from the pics but I love a challenge and an excuse to buy more tools 🤣

      Help - London Elliott Mantle Clock Night Silence

      By oldhippy · Posted

      I have two of these in my home. You need to remove the movement from the case, take off the hands and remove the dial and take a few good photos of the front plate so I can see what the problem is. The round nut unscrews and the hands pull off pull them off from the center and not the tips as you could break them.

      Help - London Elliott Mantle Clock Night Silence

      By MapleWood · Posted

      Hi everyone, I tried looking for answers on this online but came up with nothing, so I'm hoping some of you knowledgeable people might be able to help. I have an Elliot clock that has been in my family for at least 4 generations. I recently enherited it, and I'm trying to get it to run properly again, as it's been neglected a bit.  Here,s the problem. These clocks have a silencer mechanism, which is supposed to stop it from chiming between 11PM and 7AM but for some reason mine is silent between 1AM and 9AM. I have tried figuring out how to adjust it but have not managed. Does anyone have any idea on how to correct this? Please find attached some pictures of the clock. Thank you!
