While messing with the wood for a tester (my pref. is knife edge BTW) you might knock up a table (AKA barrel) to grind and polish on. Something steady you can walk around. Nothing too fancy. I made mine out of some softwood (some horrible pine) salvaged from a pallet.
It should be at such a height that you can place your elbows on it without stooping too much. A height about midway between your elbows and your wrists seems right. It's no coincidence that this is the height an engineers vice should be at to provide maximum power and
efficiency for hacksawing ect.
