I have one of those Craftsman stools and it is literally a pain in my *** but I have been told I don’t have a lot of padding back there. I do a lot of sitting at my workbench, 3D modeling, 3D printing and etc. I probably need more of a drafting stool. Any recommendations?

Does anyone know where to get the tubular locks keyed alike? Craftsman doesn't sell those type on their website.

Akdiesel The dual strut serves two main purposes one: Provide extra rigidity to the top and support for the members underneath. Thereby reducing and bounce or deflection. This was recommended to me by the guys at the office who work with strut. All of our drafting tables are made out of double...

Akdiesel, Thanks for the advice. I think the PEX will be a lot eaiser to work with. I started playing with the Solidworks tube modeling to see if I could draw some in. I do have concerns about meeting the minimum bend radius but there maybe away around this as 1/2" was the smallest I could find...

Akdiesel- I like your idea of drilling holes and cutting it with a dremel. Would you just use a standard cutting wheel? I don't have a drill press.... General question- Do you think flexible plastic air hoses or copper lines? (I heard PVC was a no no.) Any other concepts I should build in...

Akdiesel, Where did you find those black back panels for your workbench? I am interested in building A similar strut workbench out of PHD strut. Maybe I will start a thread and post the current design. I could really use some insight and feedback from those more experienced.
