That stinks. Perhaps if you list your location in your profile, someone in your area could even help you figure something out.

Welcome aboard, glad to have you. If you'll put your general location in the header you may be pleasantly surprised at how many of the IFI gang live within visiting distance.

 

bummer about the wrist, a lot of us live with pain. There is at least one thread about dealing with physical problems, from hands, arms, elbows to backs, knees and wheelchair bound. It's a blacksmith thing to adapt and overcome problems, we're a darned creative bunch.
