Default Stupid mistake.. info for new turners

That handle to the chin is one reason why I like a captured system.
Just a little bit safer, though if I am roughing out my hollow forms,
I do it standing with a Kelton hollower in my coring handle, and the
laser. I can be more aggressive that way.

Hope the injury is as minor as you're making it out to be, Mac. *And
thanks for the post. Safety reminders are always worthwhile.
