Oldgraybeard,
I'm 74 and have the usual laundry list of things that befall that age.
I have followed Dr. Weil's suggestions for several things and have been able to avoid some prescription drugs with nasty side effects.
One of the most impressive was the relief from pain from Plantar fasciitis by taking 2 alfalfa pills per day rather than 6 to 8 ibuprofen that were prescribed. I was concerned for my liver and kidneys.
Have a look here:

I have posted some videos of tooling on a converted metal lathe. A similar system could be made for a wood lathe bed. I do production turning off a template but often turn free hand without a template for one offs. The system does not use traditional tools and you may garner some criticism from the purists in the group. It would all but eliminate the chance of a catch and may give you back some peace of mind and joy in turning.

Bob, sorry for your position. I hope you find a way to keep on turnin': any way you can. It must be so frustrating

I get my medical care through the Veterans Administration, with which I am well pleased.
The VA docs have been quite open to my experimentation with vitamins & herbs, and monitor my progress with blood tests and check ups.So much timber, so little time.

Found theis artical about a concert pianist having an implant inserted to cure his essential tremors. Not sure how you get a lathe into surgery though.anne-maria.
