I hate it when...

[Lorien]

...I forget to remove my chuck key before I turn on my drill press, which then chucks my chuck key into my swarf bucket

How 'bout you? Any forehead slapping going on in your shop?

There are worse places a chuck key could go...


Edit to add: actually, slapping you in the forehead, for example.

simple solution ...use a keyless chuck....

I hate it when…. I left a drill bit in a keyless chuck and the chuck locks up. Actually happened in a woodworking shop I worked in. Guy left a large forstner bit chucked in the keyless chuck, took quite a while to finally get the bit out.

Mine only flew across the room at dangerous speeds once or twice before I used the little clip on the side of the drill press?

...I walk into a room and can't remember what I came to get.

I hate it when I lose a blade that I have lots of time into and is coming along great! I did that a while ago with a hidden tang Bowie in cpm s35vn with lots of filework that was already heat treated. And now I have lost that big exaggerated Bowie in Apex Ultra that I've been working on!

I’m doing the final assembly on a folder and I drop one of the screws on the floor and it’s nowhere to be found

Last batch I put this knife through its sheath while wet molding it:

So I built it a new sheath and wet molded it again and dang if I didn't put it through the leather again. Didn't slap my forehead but did use bad words spelled with all the top keys on this keyboard like: !^$&(). and even (^&*$#Z! and did throw things around the shop!

Third time was the charm:

I hate when I hate things I hate. Rum helps.

When you get an SGA and set out to taper your first tang, and enter it from the wrong side of the contact wheel

But then you‘ll be missing a key point.

Yeah I hate having to scrape blades.
For example, I’ve had to scrape quite a few blades in CruforgeV because I forged it just a little to cold and it cracked

I hate it when a friend asks me to sharpen a few of their knives and I need to take the knives to the belt sander before bench stones because of complete lack of maintenance.

You hate that?

I hate it when I have both hands holding something I'm gluing up and the phone rings ... and it's a call I have been waiting for that I have to take.

 

[Alex Topfer]

I hate "perfect" because no one ever defines their tolerances
Also cleaning the shop, that's terrible

 

[Lorien]

I hate it when my grinder electrocutes me
