NSFW: Super Post Whore Thread v2.0

Not surprising.

Basically any tool with a spinning bit or blade can catch on a glove and pull your hand into danger. In my cabinet shop we only wore gloves when handling material, but not when cutting/routing.

Planer accidents like yours are rare, and could be a material handling exception ... a blade proof glove might have saved you from the flesh wound on a kickback, but if you go that route get a pair that fits as snug as possible, and be careful what tool you use when wearing.

Certainly loose fitting gloves can multiply hazards around machinery, but it all comes down to situational awareness. If you have the thought that it's rare, one can get a sense that it can't happen or it certainly won't happen a second time within a short period. Constantly working with electricity, for me, electrocution is rare, but I always have to be aware that it can happen. Don't get complacent when working with things that can injure or kill you.

Good advice!

The absolute most dangerous situation in a woodshop, with whirring bits and blades, is your mind wandering when performing repetitive tasks.

First day off in what seems forever.
Laundry, haircut, mowing, grocery shopping.
Sheeeeesh. Some day off.

Did my springtime haircut the other day. And was I getting rather shaggy!

Mid 70's, overcast, still and a chance of more rain. Got a shower this morning. Not even enough to show up in the rain gauge, but enough to water the garden.

I got sheared last month.

I checked, and it was 13 months since my last haircut.

Since retiring, I get a haircut twice a year, and stopped shaving my beard.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

I generally go 3-4 months between shearings.

Back when I was working, I cut mine once a month. Shaved every morning. I hated shaving, so when I retired, I quit shaving my face.

For me it's been 2 years since a haircut.

Got mine cut last month, after 4 months.
Actually shaved yesterday for quarterly POA meeting, not that any of these old farts would give a damn.

Both felt so good I might have to reconsidering upping my chakra in that regard …

The WW2 destroyer the sullivans is taking on water and in danger of sinking in NYC.

Let's hope they save it. They were doing repairs but took the winter off. Mistake obviously.
