Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear about the stroke. Had one myself several years ago but have managed to work through it. I hope you can do the same. Plenty of info here if you search. If you cannot find what you need just ask. ATB

Welcome to the forum. I know the feeling of having a stroke myself if it was not for my woodworking, as I was halfway through making this rocking horse and was determined to complete it. It is good to have something to aim for to aid recovery. Good luck with the recovery

Welcome!

Sadly, age creeps up om us in various ways, which decrease our abilities.

But we try to find work arounds.

You will find plenty of like minded folk on here, so feel free to give or receive advice.

There is a HUGE fund of knowledge available on this Forum.
