When the table saw starts singing, "Come to me," it is time to quit
for the day.


DGO.
David,
You have my sympathies here. That has got to hurt. I still have
a scar on my right leg from being careless with a circular saw while
building Nymph a few years back.
We all need little reminders like this to remember how quickly an
accident can happen. I find that I am far more careful now that my
children are often watching me.

1. wear safety glasses
2. wear gloves
3. keep long hair and clothing away from moving parts.

Anyone else care to add to the list? I think we should all take a
couple of minutes a come up with a list of 10 commandments of safety
to post around the shop as a simple reminder to be attentive to
safety. I don't think that Mr. Bolger or other designers would
approve of having a bunch of builders who are missing various parts
of
their bodies and pints of blood.

FBBB --

Got a little careless today and found myself in the line of fire for
some kick-back from the table saw. The result? An 8x8 inch piece of
1/4 inch plywood frisbeeing into my left shin at warp speed, then
ricocheting into my right knee. Big divot out of my shin, smaller one
out of my knee. Ouch.

On a brighter note, both masts are stepped and she look unbelievable
cute. It's causing a minor traffic jam in front of my house. Even
worse than the table saw incident, we've got threatening weather and
it looks like we'll have to take it all apart before it starts
raining.

YIBB,
