Sam, one of the best vibration filters is stacks of ~50 paper or thin card sheets, placed under the legs of a fairly heavy table.  The old computer cards that were used in the 70s are ideal - maybe you can find some in a dusty cupboard.  Ian

Dear Sam,

I'd advise you to use such an anti-vibration table, however it doesn't 
need to be an expensive one (thick with active dampening). Actually a 
heavy stone (marble/granite/...) table lying on some air filled 
tubes/tennis balls (or something similar) will do it in most of the cases.

Cheers    Gabor
