Lindsay Handpiece.
Howdy all, I've been telling Steve that I'd post some pics and tell my story so here goes.
In 1982 I had a vehicle accident which left me a quadrapalegic which means that all four limbs are paralyzed. I can use my arms but my fingers don't work. I'm 41 now and have made just about every kind of device imaginable to keep things in my hands.
I've always been interested in engraving and after trying an old N-Graver with some success I searched the internet and come across Steves site. A\fter a few phone conversations and an assurance of the 30 or 45 day return policy I decided to buy a handpiece.
For nearly 2 years I strapped the handpiece to my right hand, ran the foot control with my left elbow and all the while turned the vise with my left hand. After doing it that way for so long it was actually hard to get used to the palm control that I got when Steve released them.
As soon as I can get someone to take pics of the handpiece adaptation I'll post them. In the meantime here are some pics of my work. It's not very good but it's getting better over time.
Thanks for everything Steve, you're a savyor and a miracle man!!
