Not liking to pop my head unnecessarily, I use a trick from one
of the magazines. An inspection mirror (metal stick + ball joint
+ mirror) fitted into a block of wood and placed on the bench
behind the work allows me to watch both sides. I got the mirror
at Sears in the automotive tools section. ASCII art follows:

       +--------+
   +-+O| MIRROR |
   | | |        |
   | | +--------+

+--+-+--+
