Stamp Standing or Sitting and work surface hight

[plinkercases]

With the thread about the hitting sticks and the description of the motion and having the elbow on the table I began to wonder.... How do folks find their best positions for carving and stamping (not pounding/punching)... SO...

Sitting? - if yes where is the work surface relative to your body? OR

Standing? - if yes where is the work surface relative to you body?

I built my bench for both. The height was built for standing and I got an adjustable height stool then to make it right for sitting. I measured the height where my forearm was level with a maul resting on the end of a stamp. That is the height I made the bench. The stool was a an adjustable height draftsman type stool from the used office furniture outlet.
