Do you stand or sit while casting?

[Glwenzl]

I prefer to sit and stand when I do anything. All my reloading equipment is up high with tall stools that have back support and for rest. I look at the Ergonomics I in everything I do (not by choice but by necessity).

So I built my casting bench up high. And not sure if it’s because I’m so new to casting but I haven’t sit down once yet. Left feeling the pain a couple times but the joy seemed to make the pain not so bad lol

Thanks Mal. Just what I needed. Joe

Here is the build. The forearm rest in front was 2" thick Oak that tapered to about 1" at the front edge.

That is something in concept I thought would help. I had not gone as far as just what to add to a bench or table, but a physical splash or flood stop was on my mind, just not “how”.

Thanks Mal Paso

I envy your (free) space! I already responded to this post, that I sit while casting. Here's MY casting table -- on wheel, in garage...Attachment 294006

You must work for NASA. That's a little modern for me.

Generally sit for reloading and casting, but can stand for either. Benches are high enough, as are stools...

I stand both casting and reloading, but will sit at the dining room table with my Lee hand press from time to time. I am in one of those unfortunate occupations where I sit more than enough.

I stand. I find it easier to step back and forth between the pot and the bucket/towel, rather than sit between them and make my arms do all the work.

Late to the party, but I'm another one who stands while casting. I want to be able to get out of the way quickly if something happens. I also set my reloading bench up for standing, it just seems easier for me.

I stand as well, for many of the same reasons others have mentioned.

I sit in a comfortable padded glide swing under a huge shade tree just outside my loading shed with my pot securely mounted on a custom WorkMate. Perfect height. The evap cooler blowing cool air when needed in the summer. I wear a heavy welder's leather apron, just in case anything dribbles or falls out. My pan of cooling drop water, with towel, is within reach, sitting on a table at the right.

For loading I stand at my bench inside my loading shed. But I have a high shop stool at the ready I can easily park my keister on if needed!
