It's beautiful for rolling around camera equipment (my main business) but very slippery with a bit of dust on it when I'm doing woodwork.<br />SFPaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430989134966768004.post-35178550747329881472011-12-04T12:49:46.561-06:002011-12-04T12:49:46.561-06:00I had a similar problem recently while working on ...I had a similar problem recently while working on a Gragg chair replica. The edges and surfaces of the chair have to be tooled after assembly, and the chair is such a flyweight is was just bouncing around. One-handed spokeshaving is fairly difficult. I slipped a small square of non-skid drawer liner under each leg and tossed a large sandbag on the seat, and believe me it stayed put.<br /><br />A method I also use to increase bench weight (I use several 70's era German benches, and they are not hefty enough to fully resist my Jameel-esque physique either)so I just use the under-structure as lumber storage. Adding another few hundred pounds on the trestles makes a difference.<br /><br />Don WilliamsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430989134966768004.post-42387171222756578612011-12-03T21:06:50.326-06:002011-12-03T21:06:50.326-06:00Nice.
