Just wondering who has a stool/chair that is the most comfortable you don't want to leave the scroll saw. I have a stool, no back, wood, the seat is comfortable, sets a hair low, but, when I was scrolling last week on a fret project, my shoulder blade area of my back was tight/ sore after scrolling for a couple of hours, had to get up and swing the arms around to loosen it up, just need a better solution for those long days of scrolling. Thanks for all advice as always. This is my stool.( The middle one).

I have a regular wooden chair with a back and a padded seat, the chair I mean has padding..LOL I also have my saw stand tilted forward, which helps me with neck and shoulder strain."Still Montana Mike"

I tried just about everything and was not happy. After a few hours I was stiff and locked up.
My wonderful wife saw and bought me a Swooper stool and it's wonderful!. A bit pricey but worth it!. It is hydraulic up and down, it's built on a universal joint at the bottom so you can move side to side or front to back. It's great when doing long pieces since you can be up close for the fine detail and then just push back to make those 180 deg turns to get the other side.
Here is a link that shoes it. We bought ours at a "Relax the Back" store.

I've had a couple different stools in my shop. They have all been scavenged cast-offs from work, so I've made do with what was available. Just recently though, I was able to "upgrade" as the stools they were replacing swiveled, had wheels and hydraulic height adjustment. The uphulstery was shot but otherwise they were in decent shape. It is a major improvement over what I had. I like being able to swivel the seat and have wheels, because my scroll saw is tucked into a rather crowded space and I can now easily move it around or out of the way, as needed. The height adjustment is great as well, because sitting at my scroll saw, I'm higher than I am at the work table, so it's a lot more ergonomically friendly. Having a good, comfortable stool is a huge benefit when you are engaged in a scrolling marathon. Cushioning/comfort, back support and proper height are the key elements of a good stool, IMHO.Homer : "Oh, and how is education supposed to make me feel smarter.

They, as in health professionals, say you should not set for longer than a hour without getting up and moving around some. I have a Craftsman stool with a back rest and lift type adjustment that works well.Stoney aka Al

Styrk1----I said it was a little pricey.
I spend a lot of time sawing and need something that gives me comfort. In fact I have an Eclipse saw which has an hour meter on it. I set this to zero the first of the year, it only runs when the saw is running and it now has 903 hours on it. That's why I need something comfortable.
As per the original request he wanted to know the most comfortable stool, I submit that this one is right up there on the list.

I have a swivel chair. Works great for me. Two cushions for the back one for the butt (I already have padding for that). Saw is raised about 5 inches in the back (30 inch saw). Boxes with a foot switch for a comfortable fit for my short legs.Attached FilesThe other John A.

I use a retired padded swivel bar stool with a padded back that will have casters someday.
I am also very proud of myself for letting this one go by and it was tough.
I'll bet Mike was holding his breath. LOLMay the wind at you back .....

Reply to Peanuts #1by millwabRolf, I cover it with clear contact paper (comes off clean without leaving a residue) and draw a grid for the direction I want to cut (ie horizontal or diagonal) to keep the rows even. The rest is all freehand....

I use acrobat reader. The poster feature will enlarge and if it goes to multiple pages it will put in cut marks. Even if the page is over letter size it will spread to multiple pages at 100%.
If it is in PDF form you can open with Inkscape or GIMP and select what you...-

Reply to YoraHome Laser w/CNC Engraver/Routerby theframerHi Linda, great find...I think.
Please keep us up to date with any information you receive. I would really like to get into this, but my computer skills are almost nonexistent, I need something that a 74 year old air head 🙄 can figure out. Thanks for sharing.

Do any of you have experience with or know reputability of the YoraHome Laser with CNC Router Engraver? I was checking out Ortur, and Yora kept popping up. Looks like a versatile combo to suppliment scrolling. Just looking for thoughts. https://yorahome.com/collections/cnc...oducts/yora-cn...
