thanks, about the butcher knife and cutting board...... they are mine, dedicated for my stuff, not the same equipment we use in the kitchen.. well I use the knife in the kitchen because its my favorite knife and probably the only real sharp one in the house (It was my christmas present from my fiancee)
and yes I'm doing it on my chair, the front door of my tank is removable so when I'm doing wet work, I take it off my stand and lay it accross the arms of my chair making a perfect worktable somtimes I cover it in plastic, sometimes I dont, but I steam clean the chair after any nasty fragging.
besides after what her dogs and cats do to the furniture she cant complain about me and a little water....
