Use a long paint stick. Mark two lines, one 1/4 inch from the end and the other 1/2 inch from the end.. Then, using a band saw, cut about 9 cuts into the end up to the 1/4 inch line. Then sand the cut end on both sides. Then cut the end off at the 1/2 inch line and glue it on to the stick at an angle. Voila! A back scratcher! Works great and it's free.

LOL ... and here's a Deluxe, contrasting wood, medieval, woolly back, 'your itches itch', version.
1/4" holes, drilled in a suitably shaped piece of scrap, filled with dowels run through the shop pencil sharpener to custom sharpness:
I hope that has instructions for proper use!
That thing looks like you would be dragging a sabre tooth cat's claw across your back.
Are you sure that isn't some kind of torture device or German sex toy?

Oh, but it feels sooooooooooooo good!

REAL men use a circular saw blade with a 5/8" threaded rod run through the arbor hole for a handle. When some of the teeth get dull from scratching your back, just rotate it a fuzz and you'll have new, sharp teeth. Freud works best, but some guys are happy with DeWalt, also.
That one is better looking than mine and it looks more.....manly. I'll try yours. Thanks. Nantz
Much catchier name, too.

Is it just me or do we have a bunch of bursitis-ridden old farts in this group?

I may be an old fart, but I definitely don't have bursitis. I have ......, I can't seem to remember. Oh, well.
It's not just you.
Hell, I don't remember the last time I reached the middle of my back!
In fact, if I don't get this Holiday gut off, I won't be able to reach my belly-button!
Bragging or one of us. How old is old.
30 is old, so is 40 and 50 and 60 .... depending on the reference.Mart> Is it just me or do we have a bunch of bursitis-ridden old farts in > this group? > >

Let's add spinal arthritis, planar fascitis, tinnitus, and, um, allergies to the stew, OK?
Old Fartes also inhabit the RCM group, and probably a lot more.

What happened to having a prostate the size of a grapefruit?

Getting cut on for that this month. Sigh! It's like the warranty expired.

Go ahead and do that. See if we care. ;)
Sincere condolences if it's true. I don't want to be like Willie Nelson, so sadly stated "I have outlived my penis."

G'luck on that one. I added rib bruising to my list yesterday. Climbing down from a client's porch, my boot slipped and my arm caught me, strumming my ribs on the railing. I feel like an old Zydeco tune this morning. (Where's my Ben Gay? Actually, I use my sister's Nature's Sunshine salve, Tei Fu, which has a much nicer odor.)
Some day, I'll be down at the tattoo parlor getting that "Do Not Resuscitate" tat on my left wrist... When Mother Nature says it's the end of the line, who am I to argue? Besides, I'm leaving my body to science fiction.

I gave 5 of them for Xmas gifts and they were much appreciated. One present I got was a Silver Bullet remote control helicopter and it is not easy to figure out. I've crashed it 100 times but the blades are on a hinge and don't break. I finally learned how to stop it from spinning with a button labeled 'trim' but the left and right turn button isn't so obedient for me. I'm working on it. Nantz
