Recently, I had a knee replacement operation. I can tell you, if you have a lot of pain in your knees, it is worth. You have to go through a lot, but having the pain gone is good. I am still recovering and in physical therapy, but getting stronger all the time.
That brings me to the reason for this article. I am not able to stand for long periods of time yet. So, that eliminates working in front of woodworking equipment for hours on end. I still want to get back into building stuff, so I bought a kit to make a cutting board.
I know that is kind of a basic woodworker thing to do, but it will help me in the standing department. Pretty much all I have to do is glue it up, run it through the planer and put an edge on it.
It is some really nice wood which I got from a Woodcraft Store. I am going to start working on it in about a week. I have not found a home for it yet, but I am sure that will not be too difficult.
