Sawing, Grinding, Dinner, Blondeness and Philosophy

[Ken Barnes <barnestrav@zzzzzzzzz>]

Stacy,

Thanks for the kind remarks and care about my well-being.  I think I
was being a little too casual about the tingling in my fingers remarks.
I have felt that twice, and noted that the harder I squeezed my
grinder the better connection I made to it and the greater the tingle.
I didn't sqeeze harder specifically to see if I could electrocute
myself, but rather the tingling was so faint at first I didn't know if
my hands were getting numb from vibration or if it was something else.
When I readjusted my grip to connect with the grinder more firmly I
knew the tingle was not fatigue.

I only use my electric grinders on stone a couple times a year.  I am
far too enamored with my pneumatic center water feed.  The barrel is
about as thick as my wrist, so it is so much easier to hold than the
electrics.

Hopefully we'll see you at Camp Brotherhood this year?  It is looking
to be a great symposium ( http://www.nwssa.org ).
