Build your own good do it your self project,
You can screw the jig to a work table
Or just set it on your coffee table no problem
 KikiPicture file These steel work station our not for sale .
Just a idea for you to build your on.
IF YOUR INTERESTED IN BUILDING YOUR OWN WORK STATION ALL U NEED IS A
SOME GOOD scrap 3/4 inch plywood a few screws or nails an about a hours work.

This style works better because the center of this steel work station is open an gives you easy access to the strings! The support fixtures for the steel slides :::: to fit double body or single body steels. :::: Just place steel back part on support an slide the other support firmly against the neck ::::Then tighten too screws. Later I’ll have knobs instead of screws.

Johnie,
Are you the most comfortable upside down?

Great ideas, Johnie! I would add: I've always wanted to create a steel guitar workbench on a stand/sit desk, so I can push a button and put the height wherever it feels best that day.

Johnie, Do you just have the unit screwed to the bench?
Wouldn't it be even more comfy with the back rest behind you? Maybe it supports better the way you have it since you spend so much time bending over the instrument. PS. Hi John.

John I am with you on comfort.
Harbor Freight lists a Motor Cycle Lift, SKU 99887, With 2 lift bars and is raised with a hydraulic cylinder or jack. I have not found 1 set up in a store to measure and figure on though.
I want to build a table on the bars chair height, Then be able to raise the table to standing position for comfort.
Harbor Freight sell a couple hydraulic tables but with the lift mech. Your legs will not fit under the table. Would not be comfortable. |

Jack Goodson just for you I cut a hole in this steel work station so u can tickle the strings 👍 you will need too mount the fixture correctly to use the open string tickle option like the one I made in picture up above.
