Well, I find myself more unstable on my feet now so I need to be
careful! I have big "C"- clamps tightened on the edges and corners of
my workbench and on shelving units and on other things like my drill
press. So anywhere I walk in the shop there is a nearby handhold
readily available. In some places I have clamped a short length of 2x4
in place. All this has saved me a tumble or two. sucks to get old and
deteriorate!


Gotsk ta gitcherself a set of glittery pink training wheels/rolling
baby walker, Tawm. Make 'em up right there in the shop. YeeeeHaw!

Tom's shop is too crowded for one of them A sky hook connected to
his suspenders would work better - - - - -


There ya go. I remember seeing something like that in a movie once.
