It also forces me to have a relatively clear bench top, that's not neccesarily bad, but if I want to move and ajust the yolk, I can't have glass everywhere, like usual.
My overall plan is to get a homefill system by the end of the year. I think with more heat to my scorpion it would allow me to work faster, and using the yolk when I can helps too. I wear wrist supports when I torch, & I should give up playing solitare on computer, that's not the best for my already tired wrists but I am kind of hooked on it.
Yes. The height is one of the reasons I had mine made for me. Seemed the off the shelf ones were not proportioned correctly for me. Dont give up on the yolk. Think of your setup as a work in progress.
