sounds like you need a better height workbench mate!!!!
but I know how you feel, plurry fert trailer motor crapped itself today and 3 of us shoveled 9 1/2 ton of fert into the trucks.

A definite bad day for both of you guys.

I agree with Elvis Gelan...you need to raise the height of your bench, and consider angling it so that the bench top is higher at the back mate.

Elvis...you should'a told ya boss to hire another tractor mate.

I think I would be looking for a massage theropist!

LOL
I used variable height chair that have height differential about 300mm or 1 foot!
Tried every height during the 4 hours..

It is not the chair, it is the job.. soldering SMD components by hand is not good for a middle aged overweight bloke.
I got to find an easier way or get the factory to do it for me.

No, it's just not easy for anyone's body, regardless of their age.

that was a hoot to watch.
only thing maybe missing...where to get/how to make stencil
the accent and rough video makes it all the more real mate.
great work.

Great stuff mate. We will talk.

Elvis, I made the stencil myself.
here is the link on tutorial to make the stencil

www.australianbladefor...l-Tutorial

By the way, it has also been popular with the gunsmithing forum to make serial numbers and caliber etchings on guns.

You did a great job on the video, very easy to understand instructions. I'm sold, where do I get one? (I know someone who might be interested)
