Default Sitting at the lathe.

I have seen the suggestion that tipping the lathe forward would be helpful
to any turner who has to sit. This seems very logical, because it is
spacially equivalent to standing over the lathe and leaning forward. Maybe
some of our wheelchair-bound turners can comment--it's certainly not a new
problem.
