Hey -- dont get me wrong guys -
I'm not anti-safety.
Anything that keeps blood inside where it belongs is good -- especially if it also helps you relax a little more and enjoy using your tools.
And scars on my left hand prove my choices have not always been ideal.
It's probably another one of those 'language' things.
I learned early on to have a healthy
respect for damage tools could do to the body. And not just power tools -- I've seen some pretty nasty messes made with knives and chisels -- even screwdrivers.
But it really never occurred to me to think of them as -
'scarey' or to be afraid of them.
I guess if I have to pick a tool in my shop to be nervous about -- it would be this new band saw -- since standard procedures
require fingers in very close proximity to an exposed blade.
I applaud reasonable safety measures -- and admit I probably SHOULD use more of them. Just please don't ask me to work in gloves --- hate em.
