Popular Post Sycamore67 Posted January 6, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 For Christmas, my wife got me a very nice office drafting chair. I am attaching a picture of my old Craftsman chair and the new one. I have a very bad back and this new chair is great for scrolling with much better back support. crupiea, stoney, Dave Monk and 15 others 17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still using my old office chair but it works. No back problems though. Glad you got something comfortable. I have a tall chair like your Craftsman and use it at my Hegner. Your wife did good. scrollingforsanity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill WIlson Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Sweet! A good chair is vital to the enjoyment of this hobby, IMHO. barb.j.enders, OCtoolguy and scrollingforsanity 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimi Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 I got a chair almost like that last year for Christmas. I love it. OCtoolguy and scrollingforsanity 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sycamore67 Posted January 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 I am really liking it but am removing the casters for just plain feet. It will feel more secure to me that way.

CharleyL Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 A major step up in scrolling comfort. You are going to scroll more and produce better work now. It took me years to realize that the right chair for the job at hand made a big difference in comfort and work quality.

Sycamore67 Posted January 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Thanks for all the comments. Yes, the chair will greatly enhance comfort. My back is held together with screws, links and wires. The chair will allow me more time to sit and scroll. I had been looking at a lot of different ones and this one was perfect.

OCtoolguy Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Nothing can ruin a day quicker than a back problem. I have a bad back but nothing that can be fixed. I have one leg 3/8" shorter than the other. I've tried lifts and all the other things that have been suggested but after 80 years of being crooked, it just gets sore quickly. I realize that there is more "crooked" about me than my back. LOL. scrollingforsanity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak0ta52 Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 I use a drafting chair also. If I start getting uncomfortable in a certain position, I'll just change the height up or down a little. Works great. Congrats on your back saver!

My chair gets used at the saw and at the bench, so being able to wheel around is a plus, for me. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Johnson Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Congratulations Larry on your new chair. There’s nothing worse than back problems I use a saddle stool which keeps your spine straight. Very comfortable and takes up little space.

Moocifer Joe Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Ohh ! That drafting chair does look very comfortable for scrolling. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sycamore67 Posted January 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) So far I am enjoying the chair and was not too expensive and less than $200 on Amazon. I wanted to sit in a chair before I bought it but I could not find any close to me. So we got this one and quite happy.
