But they used hand tools where it makes a difference. That is what I try to do. There are times in the shop where a hand tool makes a tremendous difference. Even ion such a simple task as edge joining boards. Do your very best with your best power jointer. I guarantee you that I will improve your joint with just a couple of very shallow passes with my Bedrock 608. There are many other little things like this that make me love hand tools.

I try to show those in upcoming posts. These other examples will be a little more "complex" and will be real examples while measuring doesn't really work at time.

I like the quick/simple approach you took to cutting the stile. Hey it’s looking good. I like the quick/simple approach you took to cutting the stile.

I did find the video on Stop Grooves that Chris did. I wasn't finding it, because I wasn't spelling Groove correctly :)! Here's the link on Stop Grooves with a Plow Plane, if people are interested. http://www.popularwoodworking.com/video/stopped_grooves_video Mike Thanks Marilyn.

She said after age 35 (I go that beat), things like this will happen! I can already plane left-handed :), but planing doesn't really bother the arm. Hammering really does though! So doing chisel work might have to be kept to a minimum. Hammering left-handed could be dangerous for me!! My next few weekends are busy with non-shop things, so I'll be giving the arm a rest.

Make sure you like them. Not all PTs are the same (goes without saying). also, for the interim, might this not be an *opportunity* to attempt switching planing arms around???? You might be the first inquistitive woodworker that is also AMBIDEXTROUS!!! Imagine *THAT* on your business card: Mike Ambidextrous Woodworker hang in there, man! inflammation sucks. rest up and that elbow will bounce back stronger. good on you to be seeing some PT.

I have an itchy tigger finger, when it comes to buying tools! Is there anything they can do for it? I think my WW Elbow is getting better, but will see if some Physical Therapy can help it along.
