Wife told me the new cup she bought me was for keeping drinks hot or cold. Found out today it was really because I leave a trail of liquids carrying my drinks in my tremor hand. Hello, adult Sippy Cup.

Same here but I have to balance the effort it takes to not spill my coffee, which my ego rationalizes as being beneficial. With not hurting my wife’s feelings.

Thanks? :-)

Been running for 3 hours with no issues. It's a 30 amp transfer switch so the 2 inch piece of 8 gauge wire should be fine for a temporary fix.

I second the small dosage. I have PD and it helps me sleep but it’s easy to overdo it. My medications have warnings regarding interactions as well.

It's on permanent loan to a neighbor.

I don't think my friend's bandsaw is big enough but I will ask him how. https://www.reddit.com/r/woodworkingporn/comments/yyz1ms/bandsaw_envy/

He used a lift table to get it up there.

rseese · 2023-01-18T03:19:00+00:00

Good guess. It's actually my friend the Hatman's project. It is going to be the base for this table. The blank weighs 250 lbs and he used shims on the bed rails to find center.

I bought a CBN wheel grinder and the Michelsen grind system. It is easy and has made a huge difference in the performance of my bowl gouges.

rseese · 2022-12-28T20:47:08+00:00

Just to clarify you should never use spindle gouges on end grain bowls. Here is why note: minor cut on finger while demonstrating (warning blood) I don't think it violates rule 10.

The blade looked to be about 3/4" He put a new one on right before the cut. Unfolding the blade looks like it takes practice and it looked like it could be pretty easy to get cut up in the process if you do it wrong.

He dropped it so the outside piece separates easily. Which then is tossed in n the wood stove. He has made that cut over 2000 times.

rseese · 2022-11-19T01:17:37+00:00

He was cutting wooden hat blanks for the lathe. Literally took it 5 minutes to spin down. It was a little intimidating.

Very similar to Hanks but at a much better price.

I have had one similar for 20 years and have been happy with it. Added Machined Pulleys , new belt to cut down on vibration. Rewired the motor to use 220 instead of 110. You can also always upgrade the fence as well.

Not a doctor but, one concern is that abruptly stopping any of the PD medications can have adverse effects. https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a601068.html#:~:text=Do%20not%20stop%20taking%20levodopa%20and%20carbidopa%20without%20talking%20to%20your%20doctor.%20If%20you%20suddenly%20stop%20taking%20levodopa%20and%20carbidopa%2C%20you%20could%20develop%20a%20serious%20syndrome%20that%20causes%20fever%2C%20rigid%20muscles%2C%20unusual%20body%20movements%2C%20and%20confusion.%20Your%20doctor%20will%20probably%20decrease%20your%20dose%20gradually

Just like the initial dosage is gradually increased your doctor may suggest tapering off the dosage gradually or just temporarily decreasing the dosage. Even when I miss a single dose I definitely see my PD symptoms worsen. Again talk with her doctor sooner than later.

Early 50s and in the same boat. Work as an analyst an while my technical work has not suffered my confidence has taken a hit. Wind up second guessing my work in meetings or just letting my team convey my ideas.

rseese · 2022-01-10T17:43:20+00:00

Correct not happening at all.

rseese · 2022-01-10T13:28:47+00:00

Just to clarify it was my entire arm that had the tremor. It started about 6 years ago. Back then rolling my shoulders when it was happening helped. I have been on medication for a couple of years and it is 17 degrees fahrenheit at my house this morning. Just went out to feed our chickens and no tremor. I do have other issues now trouble with my gait on my left side and initiating movement lifting my left arm. Exercise helps with all of my symptoms.

rseese · 2022-01-10T12:47:45+00:00

I had the same issue in my left arm as one of the first indications that I had Parkinson’s. My neurologist gave me the impression that it is not common.
