grommit Report post Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) 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 ATB Bri Edited September 1, 2018 by Northmount removed dead link Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goody2shoes Report post Posted August 23, 2016 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 Helena helenagooderson AT gmail DOT com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hornbag73 Report post Posted August 25, 2016 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
