What? No Hands!
I have to tell you some news about my two hands.
For over 20 years, I have had a contraction on a finger of each hand that prevents the fingers from straightening, and so far, it has not restricted my work, but one day, it will if I don't take some action now. I have decided it is time to have some work done by a surgeon specialising in this disease who believes she can help me, so this video explains what I am proposing.
I will keep you posted on my progress.

All the best, Paul. The Woodworking community is behind you. 👍

@Alan-oz2ie 10 месяцев назад

All the very best and wishing you a speedy recovery.

@MT-kc6rq 10 месяцев назад

I'd never heard of that problem before. It's nice that it can be treated, and we'll be keen to have you back again. Relax and heal well!

@garykrempien7038 10 месяцев назад

I have that, went through the surgery. They straightened out my fingers, permanently. Now, I've lost dexterity in my left hand, with all the scar tissue, etc. I used to play simple guitar stuff, and was a model builder for many years. Can hardly do that again. Good luck.

‘Celtic claw’ - a down side of northern English heritage. And one of Mother Nature’s less welcome experiments in ‘improving’ our design. I have had 4 operations. Two fingers on each hand curled right over so can not use gloves or cup water to wash face. Latest op a palmar fasciectomy. For what it’s worth my surgeon does not think much of the needle treatment and thinks it gives short term benefit only. I wish you well and will be keen to see - glad to see - a good result. Best wishes

Best of speedy recoveries, Paul. You are a great teacher and kind soul.

@chewbacca8748 10 месяцев назад

You hid that very well Paul! Ive been watching your videos for years and never noticed. My very best wishes for your treatment and a speedy recovery 👍

@nobuckle40 10 месяцев назад

May surgery go well for you Paul. Thanks for the many years of helping us become better craftsmen.

@lancesims2479 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for update. I’m 80 and have a similar condition affecting several fingers on both hands. I’ll be very interested to hear about your surgery results and whether the fix is permanent or temporary. It sounds less invasive than what was proposed to me in California.

@rogerprice4504 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for this explanation. I’m a retired GP and this video would have been very useful to pass on to the many patients who develop this condition. You give great examples of what it is, what you do to adapt and what the treatment eventually involves. Just shows that you have transferable skills with teaching by careful explanation!! Looking forward to more from you in future.

@marklemieux2015 10 месяцев назад

Eyes and hands. Every wood workers fear to lose. Speedy and successful recovery Paul.

@danielcrossen6201 10 месяцев назад

Paul, you never cease to amaze. Not only do you constantly share amazing woodworking hints and tips, you're now showing us how to do it even with reduced dexterity.

@keithgarrett9829 10 месяцев назад

@ScyberDruid 10 месяцев назад

Get well soon, Mr. Sellers. You are an inspiration and a wonderful teacher. Your passion for your craft is infectious. I've learned so much from you in my woodworking journey and I will be forever grateful.

@patrickbaum5053 10 месяцев назад

Paul, I had that surgery last year with COMPLETE success! Wishing you the same. You’ll be thrilled; recovery time is weeks, not months.

@awantamta 10 месяцев назад

I hope the operations go well and you recover fully. I look forward to seeing you back making wonderful videos soon.

@sarchlalaith8836 10 месяцев назад

May you recover quickly and feel better soon cohort, best of luck in your surgery.

@petehopkins9283 10 месяцев назад

Good luck to you Paul. My father has had both hands done and it certainly gave him a new outlook. Our prayers are with you. Best wishes, Pete

@OldDocThedan 10 месяцев назад

I fumble along at my little bench, using your teachings every time I put the apron on. There are a zillion people making woodworking videos Paul- but it’s you that I turn to first for solutions. Thank you for all youve done for me. Good luck. I’ll wish on the occasional shooting star for your quick successful healing.

@Steveoffgrid 10 месяцев назад

Very best wishes for the procedure Paul. By coincidence I went to watch Bill Nighy last night in a NTL production. He’s had that condition for decades and is very noticeable and have always assumed there wasnt a procedure for correcting it, but now I know. Thanks Paul for all the videos you’ve made. They are invaluable.

@HermanVigil 10 месяцев назад

I hope that you have a fast and full recovery, I am not a woodworker but I really enjoy watching your videos. I just turned 68 years old and noticed that my warranty expired just after 50 years old… I can’t read without glasses can’t hear very well without my hearing aids always worked around loud machinery but I have no regrets. Best wishes from Colorado, U.S.A

@krenwregget7667 10 месяцев назад

@SebR-FR 10 месяцев назад

My dad had the same issue but not as severe. Surgery will be fine and you'll enjoy full potential of your marvellous hands soon ;)

@kenhoward5611 10 месяцев назад

The very best luck with your upcoming op. I'm sure we'll all be thinking of you, and wish you a speedy recovery.

@Ramplcro 10 месяцев назад

Good luck with the operation mr. Sellers and hope to see you woodworking soon.

@danbreyfogle8486 10 месяцев назад

I wish you all the luck in getting this fixed and back to work. As a lifelong woodworker, carpenter, cabinet maker, etc. I value my hands and their strength. At 75 I am aware of far less flexibility but still have all my fingers and no problems like this. Take care, follow the doctors and therapists orders and we look forward to hearing how this turns out.

@erikhemmingsson1188 10 месяцев назад

Never noticed anything, but thank you for talking about it, hopefully this will help many others. And also a huge thank you for everything you have done to teach and inspire so many of us over a very long time.

@oscargutierrez3206 10 месяцев назад

My best regards for a safe and complete recovery. Your classes have helped me a lot in the last pair of years, and I'm sure a lot more of people have enjoyed your great classes and learned as much or even more than I have. While this might sound too selfish of me, please be sure that you will always have our support, so take all the time you need for recovering, as your hands are worth more than any money can buy.

@graymattermedia2982 10 месяцев назад

Go well Mr Sellars and speedily so. An inspiration where others once stood.

@davidc3808 10 месяцев назад

A friend of mine had his hands done last year and it’s made a massive difference. Like you he had to adjust the way he held his tools etc. but now he’s got the full use of them back again. All the best Paul.

@johndrew9890 10 месяцев назад

My father had that, curled both of his pinky fingers in the exact same way. Surgery definitely helped get it back to at least a usable state. My older brother has it, and I'm starting to show signs as well. Best wishes for a fast recovery!

@benjaminsnyder2707 10 месяцев назад

Best wishes to you, Paul! My brother has had multiple surgeries for this in his 30's and now 40's. You'll get a lot of mobility back and be back in the shop in no time!

@captsanjayrao 10 месяцев назад

Dear Paul, You have been a joy to watch and learn. I shall pray for the surgery to go well and you shall be back in action soon with your favourite No 4 Stanley Planer. Stay blessed. 🙏

@1977TCBElvis 10 месяцев назад

Welcome to the club…I think you choose the right treatment. I had major surgery on my right hand with Dupuytren, and it’s wrecked since then. It haven’t been the best surgeon 😢. I developed a very serious pain disease from it. So I hope it’ll turn out perfect for you. Normally it does…. All the best from Germany 🇩🇪.

@georgenewlands9760 10 месяцев назад

I have the same condition and noticed that you also deal with it as Ive been watching your videos. Honestly, this encourages me as I seek to develop my own woodworking skills. Thank you. I see there have been videos since this one and Im seeing this one rather late. I do hope the procedure was a wonderful success and recovery is all complete.

@petemack1745 10 месяцев назад

Paul, I have the same condition. Middle fingers both hands. Not as severe as your affliction. Didn’t know it had a name or treatment. Blamed it on many years of flying, truck driving, farming and working with my hands. Like you, I can’t pick up or hold small objects. Coins fall through my fingers. Had to give up sailing. Couldn’t handle the lines even wearing gloves. I must wear soft leather gloves to comfortably drive, do woodworking mow the lawn or anything using my hands. I am 81 years old so I don’t think I’ll seek treatment unless the condition worsens. I will be watching you for the results of your surgery. Good luck and God Bless.

@lisaburt7118 10 месяцев назад

@henryrossouw930 10 месяцев назад

All the best Paul.I can imagine how frustrated I would be if I can't grip my tools properly.My daughter had more or less the same problem.They called it trigger finger.A small procedure solved the problem and 18 years later she is still well.Speedy recovery.

@Jeff_C_2112 10 месяцев назад

@sampatterson6208 10 месяцев назад

My grandad had this same condition. He was a real artist with wood, a pattern maker by trade. There’s always been a familiarity between yours and his movements and now I know why!

@dangermann7460 10 месяцев назад

Have a friend with this who does a lot of cycling. He’s about 70. Operations are very successful I believe, good luck.

All the best Paul I am sure we are all routing for you sir. I fond memories of my Grandmother hand where her ring and pinky were both bent in and I can still feel her hand brush my hair out of my face. Back then they did not know what to do for folks she had to give up playing the piano because of her fingers.. All the best Paul
