Does anyone have the H8363 shop stool from Grizzley? I cannot find any reviews and was interested in purchasing it for my scrolling. What do ya'll use? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I was wanting one with casters and a soft, but, thick seat! There are so many to select from, but, a lot of junk out there also.

I just use a wooden bar stool.

I currently use a wooden bar stool too. For Christmas, my wife bought me a medal shop stool from Canadian Tire with padded seat. Quite nice and comfortable to sit on.
The only problem is that it is about an inch and half higher (at the lowest height) than my current stool and I find it uncomfortable to sit and scroll.
I am going to add casters and then fix the height on my EX-21 one day.
If your saw height can not be adjusted you could be in trouble.

Ikea Franklin (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20199207/)
foldable. Sometimes on sale. works fine.

Tony, I use a wooden stool also, but I was looking in Staples the other day at a drafting stool. It can be set quite high if needed, was well padded and was on casters. The $179 price tag turned me away, but if it weren't for that, I'd give it a try.

found an almost new directors chair at a yard sale for $5- took it home and cut down the legs to my scroll saw stand( home made) and it works perfect--my back and butt don't hurt when I sit in it. --Richard aka thumbs ;D ;D ;D

I build a sturdy table for my scrollsaw to mount on. I built it to make scrolling comfortable for my chair. Well padded. Computer chair is good with adjustable height control. Danny :+}

like Torsten a foldable bar stool.
did used a dinner chair for a few months because the saw was mounted on an old kitchen table, but with the new saw table I'm back to the bar stool.

Golly Marcel....Thats the fanciest bar stool I have ever seen. Original....:+}

I bought one of the gas strut shop stools from COSTCO. It comes with a swivel padded seat but after getting my scroll saw I found that it was about 2" too tall on at it's lowest height, I just cut the 4 legs by that much and now it's perfect and I can sit with my feet flat on the floor and my leg doesn't cramp up when using my foot pedal. I think the stool was $49.00.

I use a metal shop stool with a masonite seat and a back. Legs are adjustable and it works great for me. Bought it at Graingers years ago.
As you've probably concluded by now, it's really a matter of personal choice, what's comfortable for you.
-
I have both a wooden stool ($5 at a garage sale) and a metal one with a cloth padded seat and back (free from Dad).
Both work quite well.

I bought the H8363. Hated it. Returned it. No leg support. No back support.
-
It doesn't matter what you sit on as long as you are comfortable, some scrollers stand, me I prefer a high stool to sit on as it is easy for my old aching bones to get into and out of

Hi, I bought a Costco secretary chair, kept the arms off and it is adjustable to my needed height - cost a few bucks, but I would rather be comforable.

;D Here is a stool that you can sit for hours on ;D

Is that molded to your profile Paul? Wow, I always assumed you had big ones! ::)

Looks lie that was made for a 'straight arrow'!

I use one that I found at Northern Tool, It is firm but cushion seat and back, it doesn't have coasters, but it is comfortable and was only about $49.00.

You could make a leuopold bench and cut it for your sitting comfort. These were made and placed in a Leopold wildlife sancturary for observing wildlife. Or look up free patterns for wood benches

I made this bench and its very comfortable and the plan has history.

This is a five board bench.
Find a wooden dining room throw away chair and if the back is broke cut it off and use it for a stool.
Check the library for wood project books.
Food for thought
Hey Grandpa. I don't think I like wood that much. Is that sliver proof. Is that for the scroll sawer who has everything.

I bought an office chair with adjustable height, spring loaded back rest and five wheels under it. Paid $25 for it. Works well for me.

Heres what I bought early this week. http://www.lowes.com/pd_284314-16878-60812_0__?productId=1240699&Ntt=stool&pl=1¤tURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNtt%3Dstool&facetInfo=
What was the good and bad of it, it is so comfortable, but I was having to really bend over my work and could hardly use the foot switch, so I ended up gettin my pipe cutter out, and cut 5 inches off the legs, and what was the good thing, I could pop the bottom level inserts out and press em back in. Now,, it feels good and just the right height...LOL!!

stipes that chair is identical to the Craftsman stool I bought a couple of months ago on sale.

How you likin that Craftsman? I guess I loaded the cart before I hitched the mules up on this one. I should have bought the stool first and make my table to the stool, but all worked good. Just hated to chop up on a new stool..LOL!!
I like the swivel and the hydra lift adjustment on this one. Really working out good ....
-
I bought the shop stool from Costco - cost me 30$
It is made of heavy chrome steel and has a very good padded, real leather seat that swivels. It can be adjusted with the same gas system that is found on office chairs. The only thing it doesn't have is casters, but with the swivel seat, this isn't an issue.

The padding could be better, after awhile it feels like there is no padding. Looking at the one from Grizzly and putting the Craftsman at the work bench and the Grizzly at the scroll saw. I spend more time sitting there.

A guy across the street was throwing out an old electrics test stand so i brought it home and put my saw on it. Works great, has a power outlet right on it plus a couple drawers and a big storage underneath. pretty neat for free.
I use my folding black and decker work bench for my seat. A good stool is on my list for fathers day for sure.
