1965/73 Cheap Build Up

[watahyahknow]

they wanted to do that to me too , luckily it healed out of its own , basicly they open up the tube in youre wrist where the tendon runs through so the bump in the tendon causing the carpal tunnel doesnt get stuck anymore
they sumtimes call it triggerfinger too as it clicks when the lump is passing through the tube

[Strodder]

I have trigger finger also but only on my left hand. I think that's caused by arthritis. I don't have any Carpal Tunnel symptoms in that hand since the surgery on my right hand. Go figure, the doctor can't explain it either.

[watahyahknow]

it might be because you couldnt do a lot after the surgery and like on my hand the lump healed back to normal basicly carpal tunnel starts as an irritation of the tendon wish swells and gets stuck that causes it to irritate even more , giving it a rest makes it go away most of the time

[Strodder]

It was immediately though. Next day no tingling, burning or numbness in both hands. I'm not complaining. Don't want to go through it again on my left, but if was still bothering me I would.

[Strodder]

WOW, I can't believe I made the cover of 60-66 Chevy truck Calendar. http://www.lulu.com/content/legacy-l...rucks/12691160

I really don't deserve it, but I'll take it.

[daverod]

Very cool. They must have felt for ya. With your hand and stuff. You deserve it.

I think you need to make a calendar. Is it just me or is your thumb freakishly large.

[Strodder]

Yeah, you know what they say about big fingers. No it's just the angle I took the picture. Kinda hard to hold the camera with your left hand.

Unless you're left handed?? Then it's holding the camera w/your right hand that's a beach. No wait, that's a pen.....

[Strodder]

I'm right handed, and the shutter button is on the right side. That's what makes it hard to use with your left hand.

I'm glad to see your photo made the cut. That's a cool shot with a lot of interesting detail to study. Congrats!

[watahyahknow]

put it on movie and then take a still at the right spot , thats the great thing about digital cams

i once seen a guy that lost his tumb in an accident t was crushed and unusuable they used his big toe and a big piece of the tendon from his foot to replace his tumb ...... this is a guy that can brag about his eeeeeeeeh .... darn nice day isnt it

[daverod]

I just turn the camera upside down. Then the button is on the right(left)side.

[Strodder]

Rearranged the shop. Now I can get at the truck and get more work done on it.

[Strodder]

Was bored one Sunday a while back, and made these fan blades.
KEWL, huh?

A little blurry. I was impatient to wait for them to stop.

Hey, the fans are cool and show imagination.
I really don't have any room to give you a hard time. I am dragging my feet big time on my 4 projects.......

I just need to pull my head out, finish the shop at the house and get to work.

Who knows, I just might steal that fan idea...

Easy to do. Just do the design in pencil first.

[daverod]

Blades are cool. how did you cut them out? You should have build a bigger shop. How are those blades for balance?

I use an electric Jig Saw, and balanced them with some weights from old fans. I never throw things out.
Yeah, I wish I went with a 40'X40' Shop.

That would be a good idea, but it would cost too much. Plus there is too many ways that they attach. Now to buy fans at wholesale, and make custom blades for them might be an idea. Maybe if I was younger.
