My back hurts just watching John (doubleboost) at his lathe.

I just use knee pads. Seriously though, a 6 inch thick pad of concrete under it would sure help. Those pads do have one problem - heavy and difficult to get rid of. I poured a huge one in my basement as a stand for a mill/drill. When I moved to a new house, that sucker stayed behind. Couple of tons I suppose.
