    Hi, Orchidians, I usually lurk here, but thought I might have a good
    tip to furnish here for those who don't have a "normal" jeweller's
    bench.  I work at a counter-type area that was originally built for a
    sewing machine.  I had the same problem with bouncing objects and
    catching my filings,etc., but I found the solution (hopefully
    temporary, but still good for me) in an Iris Cart.  The Iris is
    essentially a set of stacked plastic drawers on wheels.  I keep my
    supplies and tools in the drawers except for the second from the top,
    which I use to catch filings.  I pull it out, put the end of my apron
    in it and saw or file away.  When I finish, I pull the drawer
    completely out and empty it into my box of scrap silver.  It isn't a
    perfect solution, but is better than doing without. Denise
