Random questions to which you seek an answer

@Matt I'd rock a swatch watch if I had one laying around…
-
I would think you could replace the movement or have it repaired.
-
Do you guys that use chainsaws and weed whackers hands shake for a while after you use them? It is like I have Parkinson's right now… My hands are shaking like crazy
-
It's called Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome when it gets severe and it's a really common problem for people who spend hundreds or thousands of hours using vibrating equipment. Even barbers can develop tremors from using clippers.
-
@Filthy yeah keep an eye on that. I've done a little bit of hand arm vibration assessment work in the past where you strap a little accelerometer to the persons arm and calculate their exposure. It's not my fortay in the exciting world of acoustics, but there's a few measures which can help, namely:
- make sure tools are properly maintained (sharp blades etc.)
- take regular breaks and massage your hands to encourage blood flow
- limit the amount of time you spend using vibratory tools by breaking up work with other jobs
- do not overgrip the tool
- make sure you're warm and dry whilst working
You can cause permanent damage fairly easily so be careful!

I’ve been doing some “hand-arm vibration assessment” since I was about 13. I agree, never overgrip your tool.

Oh great figures it's something permanently harmful. It's been happening for years now.

I'm the boss man. It happens when I am using my weed whacker, pole saw, and chainsaw. I'm not going to worry about it.
-
Ah fair enough. Yep don't worry about it, sit back, relax, and enjoy the FY21 presentation

Haraki started Iron Heart in 2003, right?
-
Yeah, that's what I was trying to remember. Obviously, I'm not paying appropriate attention.

…my custom Wesco boots have been being built for the last two weeks according to my account. Anyone know how long it takes to build a custom Wesco boot from first stitch to completion?
...I didn't pop for the expedited build ( they received my order March 4 ) so its been a wait.
...guess I'll find out soon enough, just curious.
-
I wanna know the answer to that question as well, @vaquero357 – I'm about to place an order for a pair myself! Which boot you get?
