So I was watching the Klippermate commercial on Tennis Channel...

[anubis]

i have an alpha string pal which is almost the same size as a k-mate. I never string sitting down, always standing. I wouldn't feel comfortable sitting down.

I still have the homemade stand/cabinet that I got 25 or more years ago with my K-mate (Court and Slope). On casters.

It's now a tool box stand/cabinet but i could take pics and dimensions if needed. My K-mate was the older style with the bigger base and drawer at the end (don't know the model).

The Klippermate was my first stringer. I used to string sitting down in a rolling office chair with the stringer sitting on top of a rolling low file cabinet. Later, I would stand and string with the Klippermate on top of a kitchen peninsula counter. It didn't make much of a difference to me.

Now I string on a Gamma 6004 standing up and couldn't imagine sitting.

Watched a guy string on a workbench sitting. May be sweet to see blocked holes at eye-level. Weaving, not so sure.

Kitchen cabinet has always been my surface of choice the KM; perfect height for me.

I used a folding card table as a base when I strung on my Klippermate for 5+ years so I always sat to string. Since I now use a Neos 1000 I stand 100% of the time I string and I find it much more comfortable to work this way.

I use the Kmate with one of those black and decker folding work stands, and I place a removable cabinet shelf on top of it, to bring it up to a nice height.

I think I tried for about 5 minutes to string sitting down once, but didn't like to do so.

Of course, poetically, the commercial's seated view makes stringing seem more convenient and more fun, and less like work.

When I see that commercial I always wonder why they have the kid stringing on a glass table. Not a good idea at all especially when it is not out of the question that the string can slip through the string jaws causing the arm with the weight to come down smashing through the glass.

Recently got a stand for my Progression 602. Standing while stringing is the way to go.

What's the big deal about a glass tabletop? Honestly, how many people stringing with drop-weights have ever let it crash down..?
