Nice one Hughie.
AFAIK Oneway now make a commercial version.
FWIW, when I had this problem I'd turn while standing but for sanding would prop on a cheap gas lift stool on wheels. There are also 'immobile' gas lift stools (with a 'tractor' style seat with adjustable pitch) that allow you to spread your weight between two legs and two cheeks.

yeah I suspect the average age is getting on and a few will be needing something along these lines one day.

Zaccly.
For myself in old age, I might hire a couple of hunks to hold and draw back and forward a lathe while I sit in a lounge chair ;-}
Course that will depend on how far down the gurgler my super fund goes :-{
