Pritchett Casting.

[ovenpaa]

Sorry to hear about the arthritis, my hands are good right now albeit they get a bit battered from time to time, my worry is my eyes as I take a pride in the parts I machine and the work I do and I am now starting to experience the early signs of cataracts, luckily it is only in one eye, bad news it is my right and I am right eye dominant.

Once we have moved and have a bit more room I will certainly be starting my own casting, mostly for convenience.

So you're selling me your M1903 Springfield then??

I can swap ya for a smooth bored, rattly old front stuffer. Not much to look at but she's good to the kids

I'm wearing a Bio-flow bracelet that helps me. I broke bones in both hands when I highsided my motorbike and arthritis is a problem to me too (but not as bad as Adam's).

Aye - is that the one you got as part of a set: earings, ankle bracelet & necklace all included in the box?

Geoff said you looked right nice in it when ya called into see him yesterday, though he was wondering if the summer frock was too much seeing as there's still snow on the ground

Roger has been on to me about the benefits of the Bio-Flow bracelet so he lent my one of his for a try.

Bit cumbersome but I'm sticking with to see if it helps.

That's no good Adam, you have got it on back-to-front.

Put it on the left hand and it works on the right hand.

When the hand that is wearing it goes blue change hands, it comes with instructions you know.

Cataracts are no fun at all they get slowly worse over time but you don't realize its the cataract you just keep updating your glasses prescription. Once they remove it your eye sight is greatly improved but unfortunately you only have one distance your eyes are fixed focus if you like. You can usually see great over distances but close up is a no no without glasses. As I have said before I have had both eyes done what I use is a pair of occupational reading glasses they work like a pair of varifocals but are solely for close up work the optician will vary the distance they work over if you tell them what you want them for. Mine work from reading a book to reading a PC screen a full arms length away on the lathe everything is clear. They are not cheap but I recommend them. But probably not for a few years yet.

Sorry for hijacking the thread back on track. My wife suffers with arthritis and I have early signs in my hands. Old age is not for the faint hearted I kid you not.

I am also getting back into casting and investing in molds and stuff. My casting bay is not as well kitted out as Adams (Iv been in Adams his gun room is not to shabby either) But my modest set up does me.

Roger's wrist magnets are bad but the "Holistic Viagra" kits were shocking.
A stick of celery & a staple gun....
