Hey You! Look at this.

[EFS]

Hey gang, so I have been a member on this board and the black board before this since 02' I believe. Well I have gotten so much valuable information off of here and not really given all that much back. So today I am posting two things that to me and maybe you will be valuable. First one is the roleo therapautic arm thing. It is unbeliavable how much it makes my arms feel better. Second is home made pair of mini jacks. Take 10" tweezers put in vice heat up and spin each side 90 degrees towards each other. Then take to grinder and shape tips. These are two things I have never seen mentioned on here although I may have missed them. Enjoy and thank you! EFS

hmmm... like the mini jacks.

[Bo Diddles]

Thanks man!

[jusbag]

The jacks are tits!

Neat tip with the tweezers, have you ever stuck your nob in that machine? What's it like?

HAHA you never cease to amaze me. :dieslaugh

And rep to the OP for the tips with the tweezers. What's the arm thing do?

[EFS]

I have alot of pain in my wrists and forearms from fulltime glassblowing. The rollers are on springs so there is resistance. You just roll your arm through back and forth manually. Seems silly but works very well. Just another carpel tunnel prevention tool.

Don't tell me you never thought of this.

Looks good, I do a lot of stretching before and after and inbetween I rotate a broomstick at arms length with a string tied from the middle and a rock suspended, it tones up the muscles, I find.

You have very strong arms for a lady, are you Russian?

I learned how to make these from Eusheen a while ago... one of my most used tools. Invaluble when doing small encalmos and prepping sections for encalmo. The homemade glass sophieta (sp?) would have to be my next favorite and most used tool. I have two pairs of tweezer jacks on large, one small. Make sure to bend the serations the same direction so you only have to grind one side....

[re-vit]

shit yeah! thanks EFS, i will definitely make myself a pair of those. one of the most used tools on my bench is a chunk of granite- a scrap from the countertop industry. since i haven't invented the rod autochopper yet, that hard granite edge breaks off puntys REALLY WELL..... fast too.

Holy crow, I've been joking something like that Roleo should exist and it actually does...

I kind of want one!

I joked about it to and my wife found this. It works really well and is well worth the 50 bucks.

[blackstoneglass]

That looks like it would work well

I do a lot of stretching before I rotate a broomstick



do tell!

Monkey grip a broomstick at arms length and level with your shoulders, alternately spin the broomstick top away from you/towards you. Later, tie a string with a weight on it from the centre of the broomstick and do the same exercise.

That sounds like damn good forearm excersize. I'm going to have to try that.

And no, I didn't think about him sticking his pen0r in there.

[Swampy]

Yeah you're probly thinking about hanging a brick tied to your willy. Hella fun doing a tubepull and the knot strangles instead of just retains. Saves oxy; you finish that tubepull in quicktime.

[misticglass]

YO i made these tweezer jacks like you posted and they work really well, Thank you,

Im thinkin so , notice hes reachin through for the lotion.

[EFS]

Forgot about this post. That is funny as hell that there was lotion on the table. Good shit!

[ALIEN!]

nice, never did catch this thread, but its funny it should come up now. Just yesterday I took the jumbo jacks I got from ABR (biggest they got) I never liked em but it dawned on me they'd make a neat pair of jacks so I twisted the ends (heated up in my torch and twisted w/ pliers) I plan on putting a spring in them and putting a graphite paddle on the other end, Ill post mine when they're done.

[J proper]

Swampy cracks me up, your posts are so funny on this thread

[Pogo]

Just got a custom set of mini Jacks from eush
Great tool for sure

[Icarus]

My wife's a massage therapist, so when I first saw thatm, I was like "HOLY SHIT, that could replace my wife."

Then I read what Swampy said, and I was like "Holy shit, that COULD replace my wife."

In all seriousness, could really use one of those right now. I seem to have tennis elbow in my left arm (which I really wish was called "blacksmiths elbow" or something cool like that. Tennis elbow just sounds lame), and in the past few weeks I've been waking up with some numbness in that arm. That looks rather helpful.

Icarus - dont let numbness go without a docter check up to make sure everything is ok. numbness is usually a sign of something else. My mom had numbness in her right leg. 6 months later she was dead from ALS just like my grandma.
