uncoil it. Now I was taking all the proper precautions (or so I
thought), cut proof gloves, and keeping it well away from the face etc.
First time it did not "untwang". So I adjusted my position and tried
again, and which point it sprung back into shape rather quickly, and
with a whoosh the bottom bit of it sprung round and hit me in the nuts!
(blunt side fortunately). Had to lay down on the floor for a bit after that!

When unwrapping a bandsaw blade after releasing the last tie I throw it
awauy from me to the floor.
They're a *******. Despite watching endless you tube clips still have
trouble folding them.
Dont like bandsaws anyway. Only fit for making firewood

How else would you turn a tree trunk into planks?
