GoodWood Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Boing over a recent post, just thought Id put this up to serve as a reminder. What stupid shop mistakes have you made that could have cost a finger, etc? Maybe if it gets going it could be a sticky. Shop Saftey is #1 guys. Need all them fingers to play the guitar with!!

ToneMonkey Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I drew a little blood from my thumb the other day. Slipped with the Stanley knife when I was cutting my toe nails (honestly - I couldn't find the nail clippers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipped with the Stanley knife when I was cutting my toe nails (honestly - I couldn't find the nail clippers) I saw "The Worlds Fastest Indian" just the other day, He was a Kiwi, but same kinda thing!

soapbarstrat Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 I probably should stop storing gun powder inside the column of my drill press, but I did get the idea from watching The New Yankee Workshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherokee6 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I set up a radial arm saw that I once had to do a bridle joint. I flipped the motor and blade to cut horizontally and had to take the guard off. I had this archaic method of clamping the wood in place and knew it wasn't safe, yet I went with it. Needless to say, I did have a small bit of sense to wear a face guard/ goggles as the ensuing explosion of wood would've made some serious damage. Another time I was doing a complete brake job on my car (I think I was around 18; a few years ago ) They were brake shoes and not pads! Not having the right tools didn't stop me; I pulled out my "everything tool": a cheap pair of channel lock pliers, and pulled on the spring to dislodge it. The crappy pliers lost their grip and I hit myself squarely if the face and drew blood. Still have the small scar! Needless to say, I went out and bought the proper tool. Then there was the time........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbarstrat Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Lets not expand into automotive repair. I've got a scar on almost every knuckle with it's own story to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
