Hey! Why do what you can standing-up when you can do it sitting?
Now, laid-down stropping sounds interesting! :)
Lazy me!

No kidding, back in the '70s I was on a warehouse job welding pads on bar joists. Everyone that welds pads on joists sits on the I-beam and welds a pad, hops over to the next. The foreman came up to me and said, "Anything you can do sitting down you can do better standing up." Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. :mad: I wasn't long for that job. Anyway, I give you my blessing Tom, if you think it is better sitting down than go for it. :angel:

Buddy of mine who owns a tooling, stamping and engineering company, back in the 70's, on some big iron, way up in the sky, provided a lot of the steel for the CN Tower....I'll take sitting down thank-you!!!

never saw these strops before they look massive
+1 I began honing standing up almost immediately after I started. I just couldn't get the swing sitting down. I also hone in front of the kitchen sink, lapping plate in the sink at the ready. I'm just more comfortable that way, besides, guy told me years ago, "Anything you can do sitting down, you can do better standing up." :rolleyes:
Those stand up guy's are not always right, try hanging upside down and welding pipe, Inside.
In the other camp, a good soldier never stands when he can sit and never sit when you can lay down. That saved energy saved my life Twice.
