    I am puzzled by the several comments like this one. I went out to my
    studio and moved my bench pin to a higher surface, bringing it up to
    "heart level" or thereabouts, and I can't understand the attraction.
    Even with the pin set with the angled side up, I don't feel that I
    can see what I'm doing when I saw or file, looking at an angle
    instead of the top. Plus, it's too close for me to focus comfortably,
    even with glasses. Table level is too low, but this seems too high.
    It's great for stone setting, wearing an optivisor, but I don't saw
    or file with that on. Do you? Please, enlighten me, 
    if possible-- you can't all be wrong!  Noel
