    Brian, I assume Bruce will reply for himself - but more
    generally.... As I said earlier on this thread, I also like to use
    the flat side down. Some consider the angled side to be the work
    surface, though - couldn't tell you what the manufacturers say. If
    you look, you'll see that if the flat side is down, the work suface
    is angled to the user. If the angle is down, the work surface is
    roughly parallel to the bench top, and I suspect they want us to use
    it that way. I like the large surface of the flat side,
    though....Since the whole lap is the same material, it's really a
    matter of preference and even habit...
