I do like the idea of a sticky thread for posting shop injuries. I think it would help the new makers to realize how dangerous what we do is and help remind all of us to keep the shop safe first and last.... I use ROLLS of green masking tape in my shop. I go through several a year....

Did you know the make a disk for those that has chain saw teeth on the perimeter. I shutter every time I see one of these. I have burned up and wore out dozens for small grinders and I would neve use one of these.

Nope, not in a million years. I'm surprised, with all the product liability suits these days, they make such a product. I've seen a number of nasty angle grinder scars from plain old abrasive disks, but that thing would cut through fingers or into intestines pretty quick.

I like radial arm saws and vibratory tumblers and machines with the work piece held down. I have mixed feelings about knife grinders.

I hate table saws and buffers

Well I keep thinking that sooner or later I will run out of that red stuff and I wont have to bother with it.

I usually find out that I'm bleeding when I notice my bucket of cooliing water has turned red .

The secret ingredient to the super special and mysterious quench that makes ninja steel (sssshhhhhhh don't tell)

I found that polishing a sharpened blade is not always a good idea when attempting to hold a conversation (I like to look people in the eyes when I talk) which isn't a good thing when I felt the blade bite me. It looked as though my thumb was a turkey and I was attempting to serve up some slices of it.
