Wander the roads, not your thoughts. I was at the end of cutting a

table saw blade.

Count yourself lucky when all you end up with is a wide but shallow
scrape - whew....

I'm taking a break now :-)


I pride myself on NOT having accidents. I'm careful, methodic and I
pay attention to what I'm doing. That said, one day I cut the end off
a piece with my miter box and the blade caught a piece of scrap from
the last cut and WHAM! In 1/20th of a second the plasic saw shroud
exploded and landed in pieces around the shop AFTER whacking me in the
face. Puts the frickin fear of God into ya really frickin quick.
