The right tools make so much difference! I have several issues with my hands, including a ganglion cyst in my dominant wrist, arthritis, and pinched nerves leading to my hands; as a result, holding small tools (like a pen, dental tool, or wood-carving blade) quickly makes my hands sting, then fall asleep. For Pentathlon, I decided to make my own carving tools. I turned the handles on a lathe, forged the tips from nails, and finally put them together today. I worked for two hours without pain or numbness, for the first time in months. The chunky handles are perfect for keeping my hands working, and because I made the tips based on exactly what I needed, I have three tools that do it all, instead of two dozen.
