Another guy Moshe Feldenkrais - Awareness Through Movement, Solved human
movement problems years ago, it is well worth a look, another book Mindfull
Spontaneity - Ruthy Allon, looks specifically at back problems,

Tim the Tool Man as probably got the big guy's problems copyrighted
care of the Rockerfeller World Domination Syndicate,

Is it true that the American Federall Reserve Bank[owes Rocky 7.6 trillion
to Rocky?], the Gold price, the Bank of England, and most stock exchanges in
the world are controlled by Rocky and his mates[a couple of hundred at most],
and all wars and conflicts have been started by the same group for the last
200 years, and all this rubbish about racial hatred is a myth

Will Permaculture ever get away from it's roots and directly challenge the
system now

Aloha,

Main problem I have with just everyday tools (shovel, rake, etc.) is
that the handles are too short.

I'm taller than average, sure, but nowhere near NBA tall - only 191cm
(75.5") - and still, most all shovels and rakes and hoes and brooms and
other "stand-up" tools need about another 6-8" of handle to be long
enough for me to use comfortably (that is, to use with proper standing
posture, keeping my back safe, etc.).
The more affordable the tool, on average, the shorter the handle (with a
few happy exceptions).

Years ago I was thinking of starting a "tall tools" specialty, just
contracting with existing tool makers to do longer handles.
Maybe we'll roll this in with your enterprise, Larry? :-)

cheers,
John S.
