Elliot, I think I can imagine a bit how it is for you. I had carpal tunnel surgery twice on each hand. At first it was misdiagnosed for ten years. After the first pair of surgeries I don’t think they came back quite right. The second pair of surgeries were necessary because of scar tissue. Anyway, that coupled with arthritis and I have the problems you described, but to a much lesser degree. That is why I opted to buy Mianne Benchwork after floundering last winter. I also can’t handle tools well enough to scratchbuild any more. Thirty years ago I was scratch building in N scale. Again, it is only a bit like you described, but I can imagine the frustration and also the acceptance of it. Keep hanging in there!!
