Nice to see a real craftsman at work, in our nanny state we would have to be wearing a helmet, ear defenders, gloves, high vis vest, boots and respirator!!

This is how things were done in the eighties before the jobs worth health and safety man came along

Equally, this is WHY we have turned into the H&S nanny state!

Yeah, he's still got all his fingers.

There's loads of them out there in joiners shops with digits missing though.
There isn't so much of that these days, but I can think of a few who got blase about it all and lost at that game.

1) fingertips on a hand. My old man.
2) Half of the palm of their hand. My first ever foreman.
3) Three half fingers on on hand. His name's Donald Frew. His nickname is Finger Few.

All guys who'd worked in shops for 20-30 years before the accident.
It looks very cool, but it's putting your head in the lion's mouth every time you do it the cool way.

I always approach power tools with an over developed sense of what it's capable of doing to me.

Hence all the guards in place on a saw complete with riving knife.
Never ever cross cutting timber on a rip saw - there are better tools.
Never passing my hands over the cutters of a surfacer.
Always having the guards in place on the surfacer.


All the accidents I describe above involve one of these machines.

The reason I had the accident with the angle grinder is because I failed to appreciate the ability that this thing has to remove your fingers.
I'll never ever make that mistake again.
