Damn, this arthritis sure is making it hard to work. To many years of throwing vises and chucks into the machines, dragging sticks of material over to the saw, all the repetitive motions associated with machine shop life... all that shit hurts anymore. Spent the last two days in bed alternating heat pads and ice to get my shoulder unlocked... turns out that doesn't pay real well. Just want to remind people just starting out to protect your joints. If it looks heavy, get some help. If doing something all day leaves you sore, look at the ergonomics of what you are doing. For God's sake, watch out for back injuries. I guessing that most of the people reading this that have been in the industry for more than 20 years are rubbing some sore spot wishing they hadn't done something Be safe out there.
