Ok, this is gunna seem like a "noob question" but...when they talk about the ribbed back (spine rasp) for "notching" what exactly IS notching?

If you "hack" with the sharp part of the blade, you can "notch" with the ribbed part on the back of the knife. "Notching" is just putting a notch in whatever material you're working with. A "notch" is a v-shaped indentation in the material, often used to keep a rope from slipping up a stick or any number of things.

It's called jimping. There is no purpose to have it the length of the back of the blade. I have a tiger shark elite from SOG with the same design, and you aren't going to notch anything with it without a great deal of effort. You really only need jimping at the spot where your thumb would hit the back of the blade just above the handle to help with controlling the knife.

Notching is the act of working a ribbed "groove" into a softer surface such as wood. There are many uses for this such as making notches for rope or 550 cord to bind into.

I was confused too. Apparently it's all about torso length. That's the measurement from your C7 vertebrae (the knobby protruding bone at the bottom of your neck) to the top of your hip bone (as measured on an imaginary line bisecting your spine). If you Google "backpack torso measurement" you'll find at least one excellent video on taking an accurate measurement.

It helps your spine loosen up and seperate. To take tension of your back. You put your feet under the bottom bar and stand up in the seat. And with your arms and legs flip backwards until eventually you are upside down and holding yourself there with your feet on top of the bar. It's hard to explain. This model hurts your feet though.

Jimping Small notches or filework cut into the back of a blade or put on the choil or other portions of the knife. Jimping is used to prevent your fingers from sliding when using the knife. Hope this answers your question.

I am not certain, but I would assume that means directly on the spine, itself. Meaning, don't apply the massage nodes onto your spinal chord. That could possibly damage or misalign your spine and lead to serious issues.

I just checked my TWO Cap 1000 pound barbells that I ordered here on Amazon and neither of them have centered knurling. The center area is smooth. They do have two areas on each side that have knurling (or if you want to think of it as one long knurling area on each side separated by a small thin smooth stripe in the middle of the knurling). The width of the smooth area within the knurling is less than the width of my pinky finger. But, I use that smooth area on each side as a marker for hand placement on the bar.

FYI The Spine-Worx was designed by a chiropractor to help ease back pain and correct back alignment. Shaped in the form of the human spine, it targets pain in the mid and lower areas of the back. It has two padded bars that sit up from a base. People start out by using it once a day, working up to twice a day unless it causes severe discomfort.

Place a pillow on the side where the rails are lower for your head to rest on. Sit with your back toward the Spine-Worx where the rails are higher. 2 Lay back slowly. Use your arms to brace yourself as you lay your back onto the Spine-Worx. 3 Center your vertebrae in between the two bars. Rest your head on the pillow. 4 Lay perfectly straight or adjust as needed. If you feel uncomfortable or still have some pain in the back, then adjust your legs or arms. 5 Stay in the comfortable position on the Spine-Worx. Initially, use the Spine-Worx for up to five minutes. Eventually, you can increase the time to 15 minutes twice a day.

Thanks to everybody who answered! Much appreciated. I'm ordering one today and looking forward to loosening up my rickety shoulder!

Lay the brace out flat. You'll notice that the top has a straight line with no taper what-so-ever. And the ribs are closer together than at the bottom. Now look at the bottom & you'll see that one of the elastic bands on both sides tapers down to the lowest section (bottom of the brace). Laid out flat like this shows the flair of the ribs where they lay against your back -- narrower at the top, wider at the bottom. Hope this helps.

Put the little cut out part toward the back so your tailbone is over it. Takes the pressure off your tailbone. Hope this helps

My chiro uses this as part of treatment. So someone should be thumping your back. Sometimes, I lay prone position and place the thumper mid-back and let it slides up and down on my back using gravity to slide down and use the cord to pull up towards your head.For low back, you can lay on top of it and manauver you body to hit the spot.

It's not serrated; it has ridges on the spine for better purchase during detailed work so one's fingers are less likely to slip off. They also enable the use of a ferrocerium rod.

I wouldn't really call it wobbling. But if you don't hold the wood down tight , it jumps up & down. I don't think that top thing does anything for the blade but cover it. It is not as steady as a band saw. If you are going to be cutting something that needs to be precise I would use a band saw. If it is something that is not prefect the blade runner is good. It reminds me of a table saw with jig saw blade. Hope this helps.

friends, when I set an arrow on the right side, the fletching is pushed by that secondary string between cams/pulleys.So, does it mean I must restring it? Is it something easy to do myself?

Appreciate an answer but....The question is and was, "Does the blade scallop the wood at entry?" Apparently the narrower "kerf" blades have a propensity for this problem. Especially if they are not metal.

My physical therapist requested I buy this to help retrain my spine to have a natural curve. Mine was straight and this causes pressure on my discs. For me it helps the overall spine.... upper and lower.
