Oh you gotta go with a Rolly Leather Office Chair. If you can pick one up from an office supply store for cheap, go for it. When you drop a piece, just wack the side handle and "shhhhhhhp" you lower yourself to the floor to pick it up. Then glide (...) (22 years ago, 11-Dec-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.storage)

(...) I had a sort of revelation a few weeks ago after finishing construction of my LEGO building table. I'm not too proud to admit that I'd had enough of sitting on the floor to build and was ready to give in and use a chair. For the time being I'm (...)

What do you sit on when you build? We recently moved into a place that has hardwood floors, and now that I have space to start building again, I find that my feet get really sore if I sit cross-legged too long. (Big surprise, huh?) I used a (...) (22 years ago, 11-Dec-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.storage)

(...) I liked Tom's bin rack idea, but it was the stacks of _buckets_ that I kept tipping over. So I built a rack to hold them.
