Could be, that and too much coffee (one of my other distractions is being a barista judge)
Actually I've had the sympathetic tremor condition for as long as I can remember and it has been a PITA especially when it comes time to do fine work at work or in the shed.
As far a chainsaw milling goes, within two hours of continuous milling with the big (111 cc) chainsaw my left thumb and tip of my pointing finger were starting to go numb (from holding onto the trigger) and the numbness lasted for many days but my right (welding) hand was fine. Then I converted the trigger to an outboard lever throttle and no fuzzy finger or hand feeling at all. Recently I bought a pair of these gloves. They are pretty exxy but they are extremely good for vibration although I can see them being a bit hot for summer.

Thanks for links
Yeah those numb fingers could be a problem. I was doing a bit of milling yesterday and the fingers were feeling it after 5 or 6 passes
But not to hijack this thread... Great tips Graeme. I sometimes burn through the thinner stuff with my arc welder, particularly when butt welding the cut end of RHS (where it is thinnest). Your tip to angle the rod toward the thicker material will be undertaken on my next attempt
Thansk again.How much wood could the woodchuck chuck if the woodchuck could chuck wood?
