- I have the same problem with my back. My wish is to find an old barber's
- chair to install in my shop, and rebuild it into a work bench. Fully
- adjustable height, rotates 360 degrees, can be locked at any position.
- Maybe even with tilt capability, and sturdy enough for most any project.
- My more immediate goal is to devise a bench with a hydraulic feature to
- control the height. Retractable casters would be nice also.

- I can dream, can't I?
