    Things are looking positive. I did about 3 hours solid turning last Saturday, no fancy gel glove or soft tape on chisel handles, I just modified my grip on the handle (i.e. not a death grip). I also visited the wet grinder more frequently to keep a sharp edge on the tool, it's amazing how much difference these two simple changes have made. There has been absolutely no pain in my hand since Saturday and I have cancelled my appointment with the specialist. Thank you everyone for all the support and kind words, it meant a lot to me as the thought if giving up a hobby I greatly enjoy was getting me down.

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    What could possibly go wrong.

    Among all of us with ailments that I know about TM is the most qualified to speak.

    Adjustment and self-management made it onto a WHO declaration on the meaning of health.

    Course it's PITA for those of us who still think we're 25 y.o.
    Cheers, Ern

    And riding motor bikes .Then really the statement below qualifies i think .But we all do things we shouldn't but we pay for it afterward , then come's the nagging from everyone that we were stupid . All i can usually say is yes but it seemed a good idea at the time .
    insanity is a state of mind if you don't mind it does not matter.
