Band saw injury
So there I was changing the blade on the band saw - took the old one
off, and did that twisty thing to fold it into a quarter sized round for storage... Then I found the nice big large tooth re-saw blade I wanted, and went to 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! -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Band saw injury
One thing to be very wary of is offering to repair anything powered by
clockwork. Gramophone motors are notorious for giving people lacerations if the spring breaks free or indeed just breaks. I once narrowly avoided injury from an old meccano clockwork motor when the hooked bend retaining it broke and it shot out like some demented rattle snake.

My penis filled more on one side than the other so my foreskin bulged out to the left meaning that the whole apparatus was shaped like a capital letter L (in an over-ornate font). I have photographs. That last sentence seems a little on the short side.
