Looking for last post advice

Hi,

I know there are some older threads out there and not sure how up to date some of the recommendations are so I figured I might re-ask.

I am looking for a lasting jack/post mostly to break the hinge on my lasts. I have always lasted in between my knees but have heard using a lasting post from a seated position could be great so am open to getting something that converts to a 24 inch or something. I have seen one but don’t know the quality of it.

I have also seen the gorgeous work of and the lasting posts from Sorrell however they far exceed my budget.

Doesn’t seem to be a ton of options out there apart from Etsy. Has anyone found a good option or can make some recommendations? Don’t want to spend more than 200 probably but if there was something amazing that someone recommended I’d be open to a higher budget.

Thanks in advance.

Side note has anyone ever seen a lasting device like this?
