Default word for knowing what the tool is doing without seeing it?

Remember Leo, great minds think alike and foo... never mind.

Hi Darrell

Why would you do it just the way I also do it ?????, look and listen,
while deaf and blind in a way.

Have fun and take care

Precisely. It's a stretch to believe that you have proprioceptive
sense
with disparate lengths of handle, etc, but for lack of a better term,
it'll do.


The muscle feedback circuitry is why you want to make your entry cut
with
locked small muscles, pivoting with your whole body. Gross "balance"
rather than fine muscle feedback, which is faulty and slow until you're
established in the cut. Same principle as using the far end of the
gouge
to make fine adjustments to the working end. A perceptible half inch
there will make an imperceptible 32nd of an inch adjustment to the
cutting
edge.
