No double standards |
I have a couple of scars from the table saw, one from a wood chisel, one from the band saw, one from the jointer (all with matching stitches). But so far, none from a router. (As they say, knock on wood). ![]() "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

Caught in a loop |
Did that back in October. Slipped with a chisel and did a number on my left index finger. 4 stitches, narrowly avoided surgery, and I still don't have feeling in most of the pad at the tip. Feeling should be back within the next year, I hope. Not a direct sacrifice, but the thing was working through my dentist: the last time I ever used my old table saw, it claimed a tooth. I was (stupidly) using both the rip fence and the miter gauge to trim some oak 1x1s, and a piece caught. That saw, on its stand, is about waist high, so it ricocheted off my belt buckle and tried to bury itself up my nose. Tooth was ready to go anyway (it was dead and held on a Ti post that I apparently bent grinding my teeth; you KNOW you fucked up when the assistant asks if you have a pacemaker and they break out a cautery iron), but damned if I had other plans for that money.
