I've had back problems for a couple years but since my last visit to the osteopath I've actually listened and continued with the exercises he gave me. My problem was quads tightening up which starts a chain reaction, moving round and causing back pain. A few streches ever few days and I've been fine for a few months now.

I've not had a back problem since I stopped keeping my wallet in my back pocket ( seriously... )

This is a very comfortable height for me.
I lied apparently not half way up my forearm it turns out.
If I stand straight alongside and straighten my arms, the palms of my hands sit perfectly on the table.

It’s more about how far you have to bend mate, lifting your arms is the easy bit.
If you can get adjustable saw horses that go to a metre, that’s where I’d start, and then work down.

This is my second table that’s used when I need two set ups.
It’s made up with two toughbuilt C700’s & two C500’s, but they’re far too low for you.
C 700’s are height adjustable, C 500’s not
I just put two 12mm sheets on screwed together, very stable. Carpet takes out vibration and you can cut flat on table in to carpet which is sacrificial.
So there’s no need to overhang the tile when doing cut outs for niches whatever.

Might not be far from the truth there mate haha but when there’s two of you and a lot to do, waiting for a table to come clear is both a waste of time and damn irritating haha

I’ve no doubt about the amount of kit you need to turn out the work you do but bloody hell theres a lot of it

When everything is assembled, yeah there is mate, but everything I have can actually all be broken down small enough to fit in bags or tubes, except a full sheet of ply but invariably I get the Builder to provide that, I used to take my own, now I just tell them it’s a requirement.

Here’s a quick series of images of prepping a tile for half of a double niche.
First one marking out and drilling corners.
Then cutting out niches.
Then reducing in size.
Fitting a frame to move it over to my main table to mitre all the niche areas.
