Nope Wombatie I suffer from having Kienbocks Disease in my wrists which from what the doctors have told me is worse pain wise then arthritis is. That hasnt stopped me from hand carving, Blacksmithing, Knot tying, Jewelery making, Armour making, and all of the other stuff I do. I just need to find a better way of hand sanding instead of like I stated only having 1 roll of self adhesive 220 sandpaper ( I need to get a Sanding sponge or better higher grit sandpaper to do before using the 220 ).
