A arm brace for turning wood

[grommit]

Hello all,

I have the chance to look at wood turning.

a man sent me a link for a brace, as he uses it for fly fishing due athur-riris.

 

has anybody made one, or know somebody that made similar?

this would be used with my bad arm whilst wood turning.

using the chisels.

I would think holding the chisels would be Velcro etc.

any help or guidance will be appreciated.

thank you

Hi there I'm a leather worker based in Presteigne Powys, I have made custom arm guards and braces for archery before, very sturdy with extra stiff leather so the arm is basically in a splint.  This may be something I can make for you if you are still interested.

kind regards

May i suggest you contact your local wood turning club or supplier of wood working supplier to see what is available or use, i wood turn as a hobby and when i started out i got loads of advice and was shown how and where to start. Someone in the club maybe able to help design a brace for your kind of turning you wish to do.

I may be able to help with that. My husband and I made ano arm brace for me, as I have frozen shoulders.....it allowed me to work, but kept my,shoulder still enough so as to not cause more injury.

Hello all,

As you can imagine that the mo all activities are no go.

I really appreciate all your help.

Soon as im fit enough I would like to continue with the hobbies and getting the brace sorted.
