After a serious car accident in May, 2018 I suffered nerve damage and lost the use of my dominant right hand and arm. I took to woodworking as a kind of physical and mental therapy. I'll be uploading some videos on how I make stuff just using the one arm. My partner and I set up Hand-i-Craft to demonstrate you can still be creative despite physical limitations and look forward to sharing our work and hopefully seeing some of yours :)

You are an absolute star for showing this
You’re welcome, thank you 😀👍
Great little bit of kit, thanks for that 👍
@@pauldredge2630 You’re welcome 😀👍
Hi Leo. My name is Shauntae and I’m in the USA on the East Coast. I have been dealing with chronic pain for 12 years. I had a spinal fusion surgery at the L5 S1 last May and it failed. I am now in much worst pain than before the surgery. I now am being told I should consider a trial for the Spinal Cord Stimulator. I am really considering it bc what was back and hip pain is now back hip and Terrible feet pain. Thank you so much for your video and most importantly your honestly. And lastly I’m so happy for you that your pain and sleep and life have improved so drastically.
Hello Shauntae, thank you for your very kind and thoughtful message. Really sorry to hear about your pain situation and I hope you manage to find a pathway to getting some relief from it. Best wishes from Liverpool, Leo 🙏👍
20 pound driver is insane value
Considering how much I’ve used it for big projects like the workshop and I’ve passed it onto my uncle now and it’s still going strong 👍😀
impact drivers all get a pretty hard life so if that driver has lasted for you then that is a pretty good sign!!!
i absolutely love the alid stuff!!!
Most of my tools when starting out I bought from Aldi 😀😀👍👍
Thanks Leo, your videos on your quest for a spinal stimulator and about having a spinal stimulator have been very informative. The trial worked very well for me. The permanent was put in 3 weeks ago. I’m still sore from the incisions, but the stimulator has probably cut the pain 50 to 60 percent already. I have the latest version of a Medtronic spinal cord stimulator. It has a contentious closed loop technology and it automatically senses my movements. We are still in the adjustment phase, but so far I’m pleased. Having chronic takes a real toll. The last few nights I have been able to sleep through the night. This is a major improvement. Leo do you need anything for breakthrough pain?
Cheers for the message and great to hear you are benefiting from reduced pain post surgery. Yes the incision marks and surgery are quite invasive and will take time to heal, but hopefully well worth it all in the long run 👍👍
You have my total respect dude.. my son in law cant even put a shelf up with 2 hands.. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Cheers Darren 💪😀👍
I'm interested in this as I, too, have cladding coated in the osmo uv protection oil which is looking poor and will require sanding back and recoated with an alternative. Interested on the sikkens, but notice you have used the Teak colour for this. Any reason you have went for lighter shades with some and darker shades with others? I Would think the long term results will differ quite a lot depending on what shade you use. The darker the shade of product equals more pigmentation and in turn more uv resistance generally.
Thanks for the comment. It wasn’t a deliberate intention to go for vastly darker colours, I think teak was probably closest to the natural keruing colouring. The Rubio arrived and immediately I realised it would be much darker than I thought, but still decided to test it anyway 👍
only if it comes with a moat and crocodiles
@@ipanzerschrecku4732 😂😂😂😂
It seems you have to plan the end of the day since it seems to take forever to close. Is it closeable from the outside or do you sleep in the shop?
@@garremannen I’ve got an ‘everyday’ door and the drawbridge is for loading and unloading large items 😀👍
Well done people should stop complaining and just get on with it.
💪😀👍
I want two!

Watch your toes 💥 *Latches
Very good point, ‘stand clear of the drawbridge please’ 😀👍
All this just so you can keep your hands in your pants 😂😊
And you know you need a second hand instad of his usless door.
@@strolchhafttv4719 I’m not quite sure what you mean here? I only have one functioning hand and the workshop also has an ‘everyday’ door. The drawbridge is for getting large goods in and out 👍
Can you get this done on nhs, or private only ??
@@waynekerrr9027 I had this done on the NHS Wayne, but as I said in the video it isn’t for everyone and if potentially selected they place you on a pathway to the surgery 👍
Cmon Leonardo, you need a moat for that draw bridge
@@HismumYT leave it with me 😂😂😂
Hi..where did you get that tower platform from please ??

Hi Leo , I just wanted to say a massive heart felt thank you for the 3 videos you have put out on re the Nevro SCS . I only found and watched all 3 yesterday as I have been searching for a UK patient experience for ages and there's nothing out there that goes into as much depth as you have done. You have helped me understand so much more about the process of the SCS and the emotions I have been struggling with associated with living with chronic pain. I too am a patient at Walton Neuro hospital and have been on the SCS pathway for 3.5 years and today finally had the Nevro SCS Trial fitted, I mentioned to Hannah the specialist nurse that it was watching your videos that provided me with the reassurance that I needed. Like you say the medical and all hospital staff are outstanding and supportive but being able to identify with another patient has been invaluable to me. So from the bottom of my heart thank you for what you've done you are an inspiration. Take care and wishing you continued good luck with your SCS journey.
Hello Denise, I don’t know where to start except firstly to thank you for such a thoughtful, kind and considerate message. Yes I think you have to live the experience of chronic pain to understand the full impact it has on you as a person, but also your family and loved ones. This one message alone is enough for me to know the videos were worth putting together. I’m glad you found some of the content useful, I hope your trial SCS is a success and keeps you on that path to a more permanent reduction in your pain. My sincere best wishes to you and your family, Leo ❤️🙏👍
You need to re-edit that with the Thunderbirds theme!
I just had to for the BTS Paul as I won’t get down for copyright in there 😂
Thank you for the update! Please post an update when it starts showing sign of failure. Wondering if there are comparisons between laminated films and paints durability but films are warranted for up to 20 years and paints up to 10
I certainly will as I’ve always prided myself on my honesty on the channel so as soon as I start to see failings I will post about it 👍
Nicely done Leo
Cheers Shaun 👍👍😀😀
Can you post a follow up on this job? I bet the paint is already cracking and peeling off after 1 year. Paint your PVC window only if you are selling the house, it is purely extetic but will not last. Laminate a UV resisting film for PVC if you are not planning to sell
I’ve done a Shorts follow up video one year on. No peeling or cracking whatsoever 😀👍
@@Hand-i-Craft well than you are a real pro because usually it is hard to make it last especially if exposed to sun and freeze thaw👍🏻
Keep the Zombies out 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Might I suggest you add a moat?
🤔🤔😂😂😂😂👍👍👍
could you please post the power and speed settings used?
Hello there, if you email me (address in description) I’ll send you a copy of the specification sheet over 👍👍
5Liter mineral spirit 1 liter linseed oil 2 pack food safe paraffin 2 spray can UV protector for plastic like lloyds protec 2000(420g) paint pigment(optionnal) apply hot to keep paraffin fluid and make it soak the wood. for non esthetic, use gasoline and roofing tar.
Thanks for the advice, I guess this is a proven formula for you which must work very well 👍
🥰🥰 On a mission and nothings stopping him. Beautiful!
Absolutely 😀😀👍👍
Found this v interesting three years ago I installed cedar cladding - probably about 30 sq metres and immediately finished with OSMO - the next year it was still looking great in the summer but a little faded so I coated again with OSMO UV protection oil, and over the winter the cedar now has black staining consistently over most of the cladding. It looks terrible and today I started to sand it back - and I’m having to cut back probably 4 coats of dried OSMO to get rid of the black marks - what an effort completing this is going to be!! It appears the black marking has penetrated all coats !! So I can empathise with the OP - I put last years coat on in good weather with no inclement weather in the days after. I can only conclude that OSMO as a product has either changed formula, or it’s an inconsistent product that can’t be trusted. I’m not looking forward to having to sand all of this back and will NOT be taking the OSMO risk again 😢
Thanks for the comment Mike and also sharing your experiences. Yes sanding back is a nightmare but needs to be done properly. I don’t know if you have caught my latest video on the channel looking at different types of outdoor finishes?
Thanks, I am on my 3rd day of the trial for HFX. I have a 5 level lumbar fusion with disc removed and an intrathecal pain pump. I am getting relief and it gives great hope.
Thank you for sharing your experience and hope if you go ahead with the full implant you get the benefits of the pain relief 🤞😀👍
Very handy . Great tip. Greg
Cheers Greg 👍😀
Great tip Leo
Cheers Shaun 😀👍
Great video Leo, really interested to see the results of this down the line. Would be interesting to know a bit more of what the price per square meter was for each you applied. And some close-up shots of each layer when you come back to review progress in a few months time : )
Great suggestions and cheers for the message pal. Hope all is going well for you with the workshop 👍👍
@@Hand-i-Craft thanks, yeah getting there! Have the barn empty finally now! Hopefully get another video up this weekend. : )
Thank you again, Leo. You are such a lovely man for sharing your experience. I wish you all the best and continued relief.
You’re welcome and very kind of you again. I just wanted to put some content out there that is ‘real world’ and hopefully folk can relate and find it useful 👍👍
Dear Leo...thank you thank you for posting this info. My sister is about to undergo the trial and she's a little anxious about the whole process. However, it was great hearing about your on the ground experience.
Thank you for your kind comment and please pass on my best wishes to your sister in her upcoming trial 🙏😀👍
Looks great. Really liked the two oils at the top. Great work
Thanks Mark, yes me too. I think it gives a really nice contrast 😀👍
My money is on Sikkens, It's my goto exterior finish been using it over 30yrs. Leo you have a very unhealthy attraction to Tack Cloths! bit over the top for an outside finish on furniture 100%
I think I might need tack cloth therapy pal😂😂. I was thinking of using Sikkens on my garden bench, is it suitable for horizontal surfaces too?
@@Hand-i-Craft yes just allow 24hrs to dry between coats
@@Pistol_Knight 👍👍
What happens when you open the window and the under part isn't done
Good point Vicki and I’ve said this in a few comments. Doesn’t bother me for the workshop but if I was painting the house windows I’d open them up to paint the underside 👍👍
There’s only one finish for that to not have to do that again, but it’s too late.
The bottom panel is currently untreated pal 🤔😀👍
@@Hand-i-Craft nah, I was thinking burn it (Shou Sugi Ban) fuck doing what you’ve had to do every couple of years, worse still one handed 🚕
@@HewAndAwe The sanding back is hard work one handed pal. My shoulder and forearm muscles burn like hell😂. Thought this experiment would be interesting though, let’s see what happens 🤷♂️
Just watched the previous vid where I left a comment about you missing during the clean up. I see that on this one you did a good clean up job. This probably puts me in the group of "people who are blind" in your books, but it really did look like you failed on the clean up in the previous.
Thanks for your feedback in both videos as I do appreciate peoples opinions, even if I don’t necessarily agree at times. Just wondering if you have managed to catch my latest video looking at various different outdoor finishes as an experiment. Would really appreciate your thoughts and feedback on it if you get time. Best wishes, Leo 😀👍. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dHujxpSndtDSms4.htmlsi=fEjnQHOBGsDMIrBv
Potential problem. I'm watching the part where you wipe it down with the spirit and mircofiber cloth. You clearly miss areas that look exactly like the fail points of previous application. Then the next shot where you apply Osmo, those missed areas are still visible.
Cheers for the feedback, I’ve put some more detail into the message you posted in the other video 👍👍
Can only compare it to using plain oils - linseed, tung, etc. On hardwood OSMO is way better, takes much longer before you need to recoat due to fungus, but it's not Varnish, plain oils only last a couple of months before starting to discolour. On Softwood I wouldn't expect any oil finish to last long in our climate as it moves way too much with moisture and temp . Plain oils only last months.
Cheers for the feedback as I appreciate all comments. Just wondering if you’ve managed to catch my latest video looking at a variety of different outdoor finishes. Would appreciate any input you have on that 👍👍
