Safety tip of the day

[Mad Max]

DON'T grind part of your thumb and nail off.

[kennym]

Or yer finger... Got one today. Every time I work in shop on somethin besides bow stuff, it happens!!

[Mad Max]

I know that's got to hurt
Sorry buddy

[kennym]

I thought you did yours! 

[Bvas]

Yep, been there done that.

Gotta watch those coarse grits. They remove material (and flesh) pretty quick.

[Mad Max]

I thought you did yours! 

No I saw you over on f book
but I have sanded some of my knuckle's down

[alaninoz]

Several times I've given myself a quick and unintentional manicure with a disk sander. Fortunately I haven't hit the flesh yet - only the nail.

[Eric Krewson]

I have taken parts of my knuckles off 3 or 4 times on a 36 grit belt when I was day dreaming, this kind of injury takes at least a month to heal because all the flesh is gone and you have to grow new.

The Bow God, Sandicus is giving you a little reminder to be careful so that when his brother Sawsucras is unhappy you won't make the same mistake with him...

I got my finger stuck in a knot hole one time..

[kennym]

Yer finger huh? 

[wood carver 2]

I have a nice little Nike logo/ scar on my knuckle from the bandsaw.
If there's a pretty woman on your mind, stay out of the shop. 🤭

Ya finger son...

[Bvas]

Yer finger huh? 

LMAO. It was Osage. So probably just a little pin knot

[Roy from Pa]

Yup pin knot so I did the best I could wif what I had...

[Bvas]

As long as the knot hole was happy.

The Sanders only get you so bad. But I'm always apprehensive around my saws. Ended up buying one of these gadgets today so hopefully I'll use my table saw some more. [attachment=1]

[KenH]

Yeah... Every bow, every musical instrument I build has a little blood on it somewhere!  Helps bring things to life, doncha know!

[Buemaker]

Since a knot hole was mentioned I allow myself to tell a knot hole joke. We need to lighten up these gloomy Corona times. Well, here goes. A furniture maker was about to hire a young apprentice and he wanted to see how smart he was. He told the apprentice to watch the shop while he was out for a while. After a while he telephoned his shop and the young apprentice picked up the phone. The furniture maker then asked if they sold knot holes, the answer was yes we do. He then asked what do you use the knot holes for and the apprentice said, we use them as a- - holes in the wooden horses. He got the job.
Maybe funny
