Re: limited upper body strength. 

A hand full of years back. I remember watching some one demonstrate making a 
rose from steel.  No heavy forging work there.. Just hot sheet metal..  
steel and a mind for beauty.   Wouldn't take a big hammer, nor a big anvil 
to hammer on,  nor a big vise to hold it.   Even the rose stem is made from 
light stock. 

Must be lotza projects that the mind is the only real limitation.
