  I remember seeing someone post pictures from the workshop of a well-regarded sitar maker, and I gather that working on the floor with hand tools is somewhat traditional even with higher quality Indian classical instruments. Though the standard of materials and work was a lot higher in that case.
  

  In the past tailors traditionally worked sitting down cross-legged using the inside of their thighs as a workbench. They were too poor or did not have their own space for a workbench. For this sartorial reason, the strap like muscle which follows the line of the inner thigh is called Sartorius. (Latin for tailor is sartor).
