I have just finished a bowl turning course; my first lathe work. The

I had to get six stitches in my lower lip after a piece broke off at
lathe, bounced off the ways and hit me under the face shield.

When I was in grade school a friend of mine was killed by a piece of
stock that broke off a face plate and impaled him in the forehead.
