I don't know much about actually building ergonomic furniture, but the
primary rule of ergonomics is "no prolonged, unnatural tension".
Everything follows from that.
If you close your eyes, breathe out, relax, open your eyes - you'll
find that your gaze is naturally slightly inclined, about 20 degrees.
That's where the center of your monitor should be.
Your feet should rest flat on the floor, comfortably. Not dangling,
the seat of the chair shouldn't cut into your thighs, that means the
chair is too high. Your thighs should be nearly level - if your knees
are up, it means the chair is too low.
Etc.

Seconded Steve, watchwork is many, many hours hunched in a chair, at a
(hopefully) height adjustable table.
Don't know a lot about ergonomics- but do know how much normal work hurts my
neck after a day of watchwork.
Yeah- if anyone knows about this a lot, I'm interested too. My back, neck,
and hands would agree.

I don't know if anybody in the club has ever dabbled in building
ergonomic furniture, but if you have, I'd like to pick your brain.
Or if somebody *wants* to try building ergonomic furniture, please let
me know, maybe we can work on it together.
Or, for that matter, even just building a custom office chair.
