[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 488867, member: 11791"] Janet - he works with metal studs? and plywood and such? Then yes, he CAN build you one. No it won't be the prettiest thing on the block, but if it works well, then it makes the case for an upgrade later. No graphics pad on this forum - drat. What you need is a flattened pyramid - taller than wide, four sides. High enough that you are at the right height for the counter. "legs" are metal studs, equal length, with properly attached crossbars at the top, and about 1/3 of the way up... ideally, this lower cross-bar set would be at the level you want your feet... (see two steps down) Cover in plywood. Cut an oval (or rectangular) hole at foot-height for you to rest your feet on. Add a chair seat/back combo, from some old thing that has a broken leg or something (we did this part... used good tops from broken-leg bar stools, onto good bottoms with bad seats...) And put commercial-grade castors under it - lots of ideas on that front. Give it a good coat of paint so it doesn't absorb too much food grease... Voila! a prototype! 'Cause right now - ANYTHING workable would be better than status quo. [/QUOTE]
