There is a trick when working on something like this that I learned many
years ago from a jeweler, and it has nothing to do with tools...Seat
yourself at your work bench so that the work surface is about 6 or 8
inches below your chin so that you must rest your arms, spread out
sideways, on the bench...This will reduce fatigue and the associated
aches and pains that come from hours of working hunched over a bench that
is too low, or a chair that is too high...It looks awkward to the casual
observer, but it really works to reduce fatigue...I use a swivel
secretary's chair that has adjustable height and set it so that the
surface of the table is a little below the arm pits when seated...I have
since noticed that most jewelers work this way...

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question.  The number of 
people who either posted answers on the list or who answered me 
personally "off list" was truly amazing.  There were too many to=

individually acknowledge each one.  This, however, is a "thank=
you" 
to each and every one of you.  I know that my "K2 Experience"=
will be 
better for it!!

73 to all!
