[TheForge] Rodent Wrist

[Michael H. Murphy]

A few years ago, my right shoulder started giving me problems.  After a
couple of surgeries, it worked fairly well, but not for heavy sustained
hammering.  So now I use my left hand for the heavy work, but still use the
right for light, finicky work.  It seems to work for me.
