Nothing brings so much euphoric relief for something that is not much more than a mild annoyance than a scratched back itch . In fact, as an idiomatic expression, "Scratching each other's back", is a widely accepted social symbiosis, even more so in politics and business settings. However, in the literal sense when there is no one to scratch our back nothing could take the place of a back scratcher.
These two below were store bought ones at a flea market years ago at about $3.99 each.
The one I designed, experimented with, and later constructed is priceless, if I may be allowed to say so.
I ripped with a thin saw blade a piece of walnut from the scrap heap.
Cross cut and separated
Glued together with thin pieces of oak for contrast
The handle was glued pieces of walnut and Pink Flame (hardwood species)
The joint between the handle and the "hand" required a 7 degree slant so a horizontally set up drill worked perfectly.
Power tools would have easily made quick work of sculpting the "hand" but hand tools are more rewarding albeit time consuming, but I needed the practice.
Priceless and now I don't really want to use it. Thinking of framing it even. :-)
This article is very good with its great information. Thank you for watching this
