I noticed that no one has actually voted ... I'm in the same camp as I do both. If I broke it down, I'd say that most of the building assembling is done standing while covering & sanding is done seated (when possible). Probably a 70% standing type deal...

Sorry if I offended anyone, I forget they are there, I really do use the calender. I have A Lady friend that gets me A new one every year for Xmas and sends me post cards when she cruises. [8D]

I used to tell everyone that the one on the right is my wife and I compare all others to her!! A guy can dream. That one is several years old and what I compare all others to.

I just went and looked at the photo I posted. There is A Scratch built Boeing F4B-2 on the wall, A hot little racing Corsair under that and A 4*60 getting the gear installed on the stand. I was showing I had two nice rolling chairs at my bench and the only thing mentioned is Butts.
OK, just glad to see you guys know what is important!!

Offend? It's just photography and that's an art form right?

As for stand versus sit, it depends what workbench I am at. One os low so sitting is pretty much mandatory and the other tow are pretty high so standing is easier.

When I read the title of the topic I thought this was going for all of the old farts if they stood or sat when they took a piss.

Sit as much as possible. Bar stools work very well for Me. I also use two different heights of bench. Even My child seat comes in handy at times.

i prefer to build either on a large flat floor, or on a coffee-table height desk.

the cutting, sticking e.t.c i do standing up, also if ive been sitting down for a long time i find i get cramps and aches in my legs and lower back (im 15 and already i feel like an old man! :P)
