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.

I'm not sure if I want to say that this thing looks like some kind of kinky
sex toy, or a medieval thing as you suggest. Either way, I'm going to build
one and bring it upstairs...

Fortunately, there was no dearth of rice paddies in SE Asia in the late
1960's, or Bell Rangers with intact tail rotors for that matter. :)
Being one of them there FO's, and routinely calling in artillery from
both fixed and rotary winged aircraft, as well as on the ground; and
since, as always, landing is never optional, it was considered a
practical, if not official, expedient to have at least some idea how to
effect same if, Buddha forbid, the necessity arose.

Holy Crap!

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.

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.

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.
