Back to it I hope. Just finished with two knee replacements and a fusing of my L3 to L5 . Been a great couple of years!
I'll be checking in now and then. Joined local ABANA , hope to get to a meet and greet when this pandemic goes back to where it came from. Started back piddling and built a side blow forge and use hard coal in it. Works fine but have to watch the heat closer, and keep it blowing. Hope to post some things this winter, we'll see how my new titanium back holds up.

One of the problems with having to drive an older model body is the difficulty in getting replacement parts. Fortunately, some of the after market parts now available are pretty cool.
With a gimpy back and legs make sure that you have your anvil, vice, and workbench adjusted to optimum height. Also, invest in a tall stool to sit on when you are doing bench work or grinding. Your legs and back will thank you.
And religiously do everything your physical therapist tells you to do.
Good luck and we hope to hear from you soon.
