    Great story. Amazing what he can do.

    When watching it "I" kept on wanting to use my arms, due to how difficult it seemed to of what he was doing. If that even makes sense...

    The determination , and ingenuity of this man , show that the old saying "where there's a will there's a way" still applies

    he is a man who does not see himself as disabled ,.

    I was looking around at what was around him and saw something with lectricty and wondered. When I watched him grab the grinder I said, "Holy Hell!", and then he grabbed a chisel and jumped on the lathe.

    I make things, I just take a long time.

    Human spirit never ceases to amaze. You put a barrier in front of a person and somehow he/she will overcome it.

    Thanks for sharing.
