Are You Woodworking With A Disability?

My disability or maybe it was an advantage was the fact that the only tools my father knew how to use were a knife or a hammer. He only learned to use the knife because he liked fishing and my mother hated picking at bones in her fish.

Deterioration of a couple of discs in my neck and subsequent nerve problems which results in numbness to my left hand, foot, and pain to the shoulder, leg, and knee on that side. I can go a few hours at a time, but if I overdo, then I suffer a few days for it. Longest period was a month trying to sleep in a chair, because there was no way I could lay down.... sure as heck don't want to repeat that.

Beyond that, life's a kick and of course there's that "better living through chemistry thing" (Seems like I have so many prescriptions that I've replaced one meal a day.)
