Topic tags/keywords: carved jig ergonomic arthritic typing aid dick

Hi,
My wife has difficulties while typing. Her Arthritic fingers get painful for her, & she has to type with one finger, & even that gets painful.
One day I told her I’d try to alleviate that problem, so I went out, & cut a branch the appropriate size, & commenced making her a “typing aid”.

She really likes it, & can type faster, pain free.

I’ve attached some images to show you. Maybe someone else may have this problem, & this could help them.

to insert the images directly into your post use the following codes (note that image link is wrapped with exclamation marks):

Hope this helps ;) I will enhance the formatting guide with images section soon.

I just noticed that the images got lost on this Blog, so I reinstalled them again.

brilliant (as always). Gotta love it when a “hobby” can be continued because of a new tool.

Great idea Dick. I first thought you were posting it for Dennis, then I noticed that it’s an older reference.
