Hi everyone noticed when i did a few days labour for the first time that my knees without pads were pretty sore

Just wondered if anyone has made for themselves a stand for a manual cutter at say waist height to save kneeling down and to avoid the old knees !!!

There are loads of ready made stands on the market that would be just the job for you mate, also in bathrooms you can use a board over the bath, to double as a worktop.

get yourself one of they cheap folding work benches out of b+q mate..

I used to carry a lightweight aluminium Stool/stepladder with me. Then I got some ply about 36" X 36" and screwed some batten framework to it underneath so the seat part fitted in exactly. It was very light and it meant I had a stepladder, seat and workbench all in one

Knee problems are a common complaint.
I pack a knee board around which has a nice foamy pad on it and I also have many kinds of knee pads which have accumulated.
Don't forget to use joint supplement or at least eat lots of beef tendon soup.
If your knees go then so does your paycheck.

Sounds interesting Kev, but i cant quite picture what you mean, any pics i wouldnt mind knocking one up myself.

Cheers lads didnt know you could buy ready made stands for the job but will enquire about them

I echo Oli , have you got a pic kev of your ready made stand ?

This is what you want....but if you pm Tradetiler he might be able to get them in stock...i think he could sell loads if he did....



Manufactured from hardened anodised aluminium with anti-slip foot caps. Locking safety arms prevent pinching and the folding legs enable easy storage and transportation.
