I read a post here recently, bug-nuts BTW, where the poster was complaining about vibrating iron, etc. (That's the one where Doc chimed-in with an anguished cry of inadequacy.) Leaving wacko stuff out of it, some isolation or damping can be a good thing.
What do you guys and gals think about, e.g., putting some thin strips of 0.8 mm Herbie's Grungebuster sheeting under the edge of the top plate where it fits into the wood base?
Doc, I'm going to hide behind the garbage can waiting for your answer.
