Several years ago, my wife took me to her office Christmas bash, and introduced me to an older lady, one of her co-workers. That lady wanted me to meet her husband, saying "You two have something in common! You're both woodworkers!" I used to teach industrial arts, and I do a bit of hobby-woodworking from time to time. When I shook the old fella's hand he looked at mine, and said "Why you've still got all your fingers! How long you been workin' with wood?" As I answered, I noticed that he was missing three fingers on one hand, and two on the other along with part of a thumb! Figuring this was some old cabinet maker that had operated for years with pre-OHSA equipment, I said "About 20 years! Any how about you?" He said, "TWO years!" Then he proceeded to tell me that two fingers were eaten by a jointer, the end of the thumb by a router (WHILE CHANGING A BIT!) and the other fingers were cut off with in a tablesaw accident! I'm standing there speechless, and he asks "Do you know where I can get a good deal on a big bandsaw?" I recovered enough to to tell him I didn't know where he could get a good deal, and that I wasn't sure he really needed one!
