Keep a moveable pad for that and go with a hard, clear surface you can sweep a lantern beam across. Hard enough then to find that tiny part you spent two hours shaping..
Not true, they make low pile commercial carpet tiles (like in the Drs. office). I put them in my basement and its so nice to work under the layout that's not a hard, cold floor. I don't find that enjoyable. Parts are easily found because they are almost smooth so nothing can actually go into the carpet I got them at home depot and they are practically indestructible. Plus if one gets damage they are easily pulled up and replaced.
