Al, you should be able to use a converter, 120-12 volt.

Thanks Davet, that might work (although the descriptor says converts 120 to 12v, I need 12v to 120), the plugs look like they would work.
I did search again, and found a few 120v options, but the reviews were so horrible, I didn't take the chance. On the several models I found, there were too many "worked for a few days, junk, etc." type reviews. That was in the $50 range. Moving up, you can spend $300 or so for a heat/massage chair. I don't need the massage nor want to spend that amount of money. I'll continue to look.

Your pad is 12volt and house is 120volt ? You have to convert 120 house power to 12 pad, no?
If it's the opposite there are 12volt - 120volt inverters available as well.

not to hijack the thread, but I recently hooked up my old car stereo to my work bench and ran into a similar issue with voltage. The solution is to use an old laptop power supply to convert your normal household voltage into 12v.
I have to say that I admire those of you who have the talent and ability to work with wood. It is truly a gift. My ability pretty much ends with deer stands and duck blinds. Although I do not have a wood shop, I do have my Man Cave. This is where I retreat to so I can contemplate the issues of the day, or what tobacco I am going to smoke next, (usually they are one and the same).
For a shop, I like the saddle seat stool idea, for mobility and comfort. However, I can recommend a rocking chair in anyone's life. When you are older, it provides some motion and adjustment in position that eases your back and hip and knee joints, and for younger folks, it can give you some motion even when you're sitting that is a good outlet for stress and excess energy. I think the shift in gravity also helps digestion.
Duck hunters are crazy, but the ones who hunt from blinds are at least semi-intelligent. Blinds are useful for nearly all pursuers of wildlife targets.
BTW, for any who might question why duck hunters are whack, you're talking about people who get up in sub-freezing weather about 2.75 hours before oh-dark-30 (birds look down out of the trees & say "You damn fool, what are YOU doing up!?!"), all in the hope of getting 2 shots at a small flight they'll never see again, & then hike 5 miles back to civilization (the clearing where you left the truck) to go eat breakfast at Denny's, which is the only sensible part of the whole thing.
I've, er, done it a lot, which probably doesn't surprise anybody here at all....
