I am new to lampworking..I'm finding it really difficult to create a base bead because I suffer from really shaky hands..especially when I try get the glass to the mandrel..does anyone know if 'creation station' is useful for this...I don't want to spend a hundred quid and find it's doesn't help...any advice on this would be useful and gratefully received...
I found it helpful, when I bought it I was working standing up so it didnt help then but now I have got over the fear of flying bits I sit and find the creation station very helpful

I wouldn't be without mine now.....no shakiness at all! I move the arm rests to all different angles depending on what im making and it helps every time.

Fortunately I have fairly steady hands so I removed the wrist rests from my creation station but I wouldn't be without the elbow rests (even if the neoprene pads do smell dreadfull if hot glass hits them!)
It also holds the torch securely on the bench.
I find the elbow rests more useful than the wrist rests,which don't seem to be in the right place, but they all help some of the time. Definitely improved my work
I find my creation station really useful too. It might be worth seeing if someone has one on here they want to sell.
I have PM'd you Shannon :)
Love mine - one of the first things I bought!
