One Armed

I expect this will be a short mistake filled post. I had rotator cuff repair this morning on my right shoulder. So I'm typing one handed with the non-dominant hand. It is slow and sure as hell not pretty.

So-san, Japan Tool, and I are still working on a JNat order. It will be between 1 and 3 stones, how's that for being decisive. I have a great super hard and fine finish stone, what I'm looking for is one or two, maybe three midders, stones that will clean up grinding marks quickly and will leave a finish that is fine enough for 95+% of day to day joinery. More on buying and using JNats as I go though recovery over the next few weeks, one thing is sure I'll have plenty of time.

MsBubba has to work tomorrow, if and it is a big if, my PTSD doesn't have me eating a pistol or playing chicken with I-10 18 wheelers before morning and/or MsBubba takes pity and kindness to a level she is not known for, I'll see you guys on down the road.

One last thing, the insurance guy and I should exchange Goldwing title for a check sometime this week.

  3. Andy,

    I like the way you think :-). But I also expect you know how that would fly.

  4. They have piano music for one armed players, you could be the first to do some woodworking one armed?
    I second the personal assistant.

  6. Bob,

    The PA only if she looks like my UPS girl, my luck the pool boy and the PA would get mixed up.

    I'm driving Ms Daisy to Houston later this week, after dropping her off it will be just the critters and one armed Pete here in Casa Chaos for several weeks. It may be interesting at least for a couple of weeks.

  7. Ralph,

    If I could figure out a way to saw left handed and sharpen iron with one it could be a done deal :-).

    I have three new stones coming from So-san, while they will be pretty it will be tough to just drink tea and admire instead of drinking Whisky and using.

  8. Hi Ken,
    PA is pretty important for the recovering process. Imagine to teach her sharpening or sawing.... ;-)
    Hope you will get well soon.

    Cheers,
    Stefan
