  1. Thank you for the warm welcome. King's X, hello, great words of wisdom, I can only take it slow tbh. took me 13 months from nothing in the left side to moving one finger a little after a couple of weeks with intense physio therapy, getting movement by the weeks. So I admit I have all the patients and the time to adjust to my problems. But at the mo the cold has attacked my muscles and joints, leaving no feeling in my grip which is really weak. Enough of my disability! I am alive and I accepted that fact that I got my self into that state, I love life and have a second chance. There's is far worse people out there, so I thank my lucky stars. Zuludog, thankyou to taking the time to reply. If your same person I have seen your post on BB forum. I'm lucky to have my workshops still with Ian over in Norfolk, so I know about doing knife making in flats etc. I've had a great role model in my dad, he was parallelized in a farming accident, and watching him adapt to the problem took years, be eventually he overcome the problems.....if theirs a will theirs a way! looking at the 220 etc. I can use my right hand perfectly so like you said I could burnishing etc. nice one pal! my main problem is my bad arm is lacks the grip and the arm is 'Robotic' in operation...slow gets there! 7 double injections of botox lol pity they didn't put in my face.. at the moment my grip is like this, (see the pics) well, I'm off to my daily exercise session, and hopefully walk a couple of miles on the treadmill....no land speed records, but more like tortoise than a hare. respect everyone, ATB Brian
  2. Hello all, I will keep in short, so yous are bored! I spend a few years making custom knifes, and I was starting to learn leather stamping on my sheaths. but January 11th 2015 (my birthday) I suffered 2 strokes and cut a long story short, I can now get partial movement on my bad arm n hand. Lucky I'm alive, so why not get back in the saddle so to speak. I am waiting for my stamp being delivered, and fingers crossed I might be able to hold the stamp. If there's a will there's a way! motivation and determination keeps going. I am looking forward to learn everything I can, if possible physically. iI look forward to update you all, if I can stamp with both hands. I wont give up the challenge. Thank you so much for reading my interdiction. ATB Brian
