I'll have to give that a try - though it didn't seem to help my father very much. He was a model railroader and just got used to taking several dozen passes at painting cars and locomotives. For me myself I've found that stress tends to make it worse so it's a bit of a vicious cycle where trying to suppress shaking can spur it on more. Advice is never unappreciated though so thank you for you consideration!
- mitthrowaway2 3y agoFWIW, I have a terrible hand tremor as well. I've found that with a good, wide-aperture magnifying glass or binocular microscope, I'm able to do soldering and even chip-level wirebonding. Having an armrest or other surface I can support my forearm/wrist on, with a tight structural loop to the target, can also help a lot.
- jacquesm 3y agoSecond the armrest suggestion, it makes all the difference. You can be rock steady if you don't have to support the weight of your whole arm from the shoulder, the closer you can rest your hand to where the action is the more stable you'll become. Another thing that helps is breath control.
