i've been at my job 17 years - started sweeping the floor and drilling holes....learned fast that safety glasses are very important - but now 17 years later - and i'm running the show in the shop - i've seen some pretty bizzare and nasty accidents - all of which could have been avoided with our best tool - "common sense"...i actually saw a guy run his fingertips down a solid carbide jointer blade to test it for sharpness
faster than he could say ouch - they cut to the bone...what the hell was he thinking - these are like giant razor blades!!
worst i've done (knock wood) is stick both my pointer fingers into the table saw blade on seperate occasions...just a quick "tinnngggg" ...or two
Common sense is not really common. I sharpened an axe for a guy at work. When I gave it to him I said it would shave!! As soon as I left he turned to the guy standing next him and said "I wonder if it's really sharp?" Then he ran his fingers down the blade The other guy told me there was blood everywhere and they needed a mop to clean it up
