[TheForge] Staying in shape...

[Dan Tull]

Remember, Andy, Peter got his carpal fromturning wrenches on the antique
truck he is restoring, not tong hand.

Two years ago, when I developed cord bruise,  Lost use of right hand,
Switched to lefty, and made my own 800 gr. Swedish
hammer.The immediate lesson was what I see beginners suffer with. What I was
doing so subconsciously( un....) righty, was hard to pick up.
Made me a better teacher.

BTW, surgery returned use of right.
