Hey just thought I'd throw out a thread to see what you are up to? Lots of press, and appearances since top shot? What are you doing in the shop with knives? I'm sure curious minds would like to know. Hope all is well.
Feel better, man!
hey man, i just want to say that your work is pretty amazing! sorry about the back issues. I have a bad back myself... i always have to be careful now because since it has gone out once, it always can go out.
Actually, I haven't been doing much of anything lately. I started having major back problems a couple of months ago. I had a minor procedure for it last Thursday and have been trying to get myself back to normal, but it's a slow process. Pretty much just sitting around in pain all the time.
You might consider visiting a D.O. (doctor of osteopathic medicine). They can do osteopathic manipulations (like chiropractic except way more advanced) that can sometimes address those problems without the need for surgery and such. My wife is studying to be a D.O. (for the USAF) and so I get the benefit of the stuff she's learning. The techniques she does work great at reducing lower back pain after a day out in the shop.
Hope you recover soon. I very much enjoyed watching you on Top Shot, although I was sad you didn't get to do any knife challenges.
