Title: Dumb question, but please help.
Post by: L o G on January 15, 2004, 10:10:01 PM

As the title says this is kind of a dumb question, but what tool is used to work out the thumb hole.  I have swelling problems and am wanting to get something to make more room for my thumb in the hole and my driller is not always in.  So what would be a good tool to get, I was thinking a beveling knife but then thought it was only for the edge of the thumb hole.

Thanks,

Deadman

Bevel knife, workout tool, rasp, rough sandapaper, all followed by smoother paper work!

sanding screen is great,..ask the pro shop for a piece, or you can pick it up at any hardware department...1"X 3" WORKS GREAT...

I would suggest the Ebonite work out tool.

I use emery paper cut to fit around my index finger.
If I need to open the thumb up a bunch, I wet sand it.
I put the ball on a ball cup, and my finger in the thumb hole, with the sandpaper wrapped around my finger.
If I need the entire hole opened up, I turn the ball while moving my finger. If I just need one part of the thumb hole opened up, I move the sand paper.

Deadman -- Consider having your ball driller install a Thumbillow or Magic Carpet.  Either of these gives some room for swelling.  --  JohnP

Thank you all for your replys.  I allready to the sand paper around the finger thing (even taped it around a marker and used it that way).  I already use Magic Carpet (Thanks Ron) it is the sides of my thumb that I have problems with.  I will most likely get something like the Ebonite Workout tool, thanks again everyone.
