Finally have to admit, i just can't do it any longer

[Sonofagun]

I think someone is trying to tell me that I have to leave shipmodeling. I had a stroke 2 years ago. Now numbness on my left side and an intentional tremor with my left arm. I am posting a few sherline products with more to follow , later. I will split shipping costs in the United States. 

Vertical column, $80. Compound slide, $70.  Milling vice, $45. Jacob's chuck, $30.

Saw arbor, $25. Manual 10 inch table top mill, $400.

They are all in extremely good condition. 

I also will be posting my fairly extensive supply of boxwood,  Swiss pear, Holly, and a big ol' piece of beach, in the future.

Thank you, friends!

What’s your Location? The mill and stash of wood sounds appealing depending on dimensions

 I'm sorry to hear about your stroke, Bryan. I pray you recover fully but at the very least regain some of what you've lost. I had a stroke in 2017 and my left hand was completely paralyzed but through prayer and the grace of God plus dogged determination I've regained about 95% usage of my left hand.Don't give up the ship, there is hope and light at the end of this dark tunnel.

thank you for your encouragement!!  my neurologist is working on the tremor, but he informs me the numbness is a permanent fixture in my life now.

It feels like when your alarm is going off , and you slept on your arm all night.  That tingling , half feeling you are able to muster until the nerve recovers. that is how my left body is.  motor function is good, but i cannot tell what i have in my left hand, unless I look at it.

So, monitor your blood pressure and keep an eye on your cholesterol.  for me, it was a patent foraman ovale.

It sucks, but you just keep going.

Hopefully you can continue to derive pleasure from seeing others' work on MSW, even if you can't fully participate now. My best wishes as you navigate new challenges in your life, Bryan.
