You made my day. Thank you! It was a lot of work but I enjoyed every minute of it.

I'm with Papart :
You are gifted for teaching. Thank you Sam
Just a question : How can you engrave all the day long with this parrot near your working place?

 

[papart1]

Sam...........do you use "Thero-works" spray for hand cramps please? If so does work pretty good?

Mango provides great entertainment while I’m working! Love to have her in my studio.

I have not heard of that. I don’t get cramps but after 40+ years of engraving my right hand does get stiff and I’ve had cortisone injections.

A lineament called “Two Old Goats” works for me to relieve muscle cramps and stiffness. I know it sounds weird but it works.

Eat more bananas. Cramps are due to low potassium levels. I tried the Goat stuff and it did absolutely nothing for me or my wife.

i get serious contracture of usually my left hand, sometimes my right. also leg cramping at night. are you serious about the bananna thingy?

 

[papart1]

I also have to watch eating too many nanners, they lower my heart rate

 

[Leland Davis]

Paps, I don't know if you do this but when I was starting to engrave hand cramps were a problem. I finally realized that fear of slipping caused me to white knuckle my hand piece. When I relaxed my grip on it my hands didn't cramp and I think I had better control. Hold the hand piece don't crush it.

Could be lack of potassium, salt also works for immediate cramp relief.. could be the dupetrons, in that case bannanas won’t help. Or salt

Like Arnold Palmer said about the golf grip: pretend you are holding a bird securely.

 

[papart1]

Thanks Leland, I too learned to relax, took quite a while. They still rear their ugly head tho. The repositioning of my hand to avoid impaling happended about 6-9 months, mid 2016 I believe, this action solved alot of poblems both in safty and relaxsation. paps

I am going to get my new silentaire bab 50 in a little while. I'll post.

Nobody complains about their hand getting stiff when they were 30 years old. This should tell us something. There is no cure for old age. Sorry folks. Only one thing got stiff then.

I agree, it goes over all the questions that have come up for me while practicing my sculpting. The DVD course goes over everything you need to know in order to learn the technique. AAA+++ Sam. Thanks again
