My father had a craftsman 60+ years ago. It had the cast iron web

expected to know that table saws were dangerous. Bubble wrap hadn't
been invented yet so mothers hadn't started wrapping kids in it from
birth.


Yeah, everyone should be short a finger or two.

Sure, accidents never happen, so there is no point attempting
to prevent them.
