Currently, my design space is 3 tables arrayed in a U shape. I build in the
center of the U, facing to the right. Most of my pieces are on shelves on
the table behind me, so when I go to reach for pieces, I tend to lift and
twist my shoulders in unorthodox ways. I separated my left shoulder last
year in a racquetball accident, so it's already a little flaky. I'm in the
process of remodeling my basement
(http://www.brickfrenzy.com/misc_basement.html) to make a new design space,
so hopefully in the next couple of weeks, this issue will be moot.
