My son and I were moving my hydraulic press. It was dark in that area
at night, we were in a hurry, and he missed removing one of the 1"
thick, 6x8" press plates which was sitting on the press. It slipped
off. Nailed me on the diagonal across the end of the foot. Busted 3
of the 5 toes. Fortunately, it didn't land on the right foot, else
it would have busted 3 of the 6 toes.

I guess it could have been worse, if it had landed on the instep
it could have done much worse damage. Ever considered steel-toed
flip-flops?

I was wearing my normal Redwing boots.

Just out of curiosity, what's kind of tooling does that smaller
Gorton mill take in the spindle - B&S or MT?

Neither...it takes Gorton collets. A rather interesting holder with a
triangular ass end. Similar to a 4C in size, but only going up to
1/2" in diameter.
