    What an important lesson you gave in your letter. During my
    appreticeship my mentor would slap my back and make me sit upright
    and to hold my tools correctly. In my years on the job I have
    seen so many new jewelers who feel it is ok to sit in any position.
    One of the most common mistake I see is when the person feels
    the need to sit side saddle with their legs off to the left or the
    right. Often these are people who have taken jewelry courses that
    have taught them technique and design but missed teaching the basic
    bench fundamentals. Like an athlete, a jewelers  body
    position is crucial to peak performance, not to mention long term
    health. A jewelers shoulders and hips should remain squared off to
    the bench in order to remain efficient and reduce fatigue.
