[Nfb-seniors] Adaptive techniques for wood working

[David Evans]

Dear Annely Rose,

I also graduated from Milton High School back in 1966 and with to PJC before 
going off to finish college in California.
I use mostly the same tools that any other craftsman uses except for the 
measuring.  Mostly I have to think about the cuts I need to make , how I can 
do it safely and then I come up with a method.
Their is no reason why a blind man can not do it.
He will figure out his own ways of doing things given time and having lots 
of scraps to practice on is a good thing.
Let me know how else I can help.

David Evans, NFBF

Hi Lists,
I am looking for some information. I have an 82-year-old man, who is totally 
blind, who wants to continue building small tables and nightstands using 
various tools and electric saws for cutting wood. I've checked out the tools 
in Maxi-aids already. Is there a web site I can go to or someone I can talk 
with about adaptations or techniques? Thanks in advance for any information 
you can provide.
