Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Hey Dennis, since I haven't been paying much attention, what was the surgery for?

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
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

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
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.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
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

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
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.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
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.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
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.....

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
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.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
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.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
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.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
i think you could have these blades made in aluminium on a waterjet . that would take care of the balance , they look great they might just be a sell able item do a few of them like flames , hot rods , skulls , pinupgirls or the shops name who knows
