Well I finally braved the cold for a a couple of hours in the shop today. First time in about 3 weeks.
<p align="center"><font size="4" color="blue"><b>Man I hate cold!</b></font><p>
Anyway - I needed to cut some melamine faced MDF for some kitchen cabinet repairs on a rental property - so I got that done.
I figured I could stand the cold for a while longer so I took out my small 3 sided cherry box I've been working on. I had to trim about a 1/2" off the top of all 3 sides to fix some mistakes - er I mean because I decided to wrap the box in curly maple banding.:rolleyes:
Anyway I got the 2 sides done & re set the fence for the back. I got 1/2 way through & the box rode up on the blade a little (I think I twisted it) - No big deal the blade was only raised about 1/3" - but when I pushed it back down I took a chunk out of the back of the box :eek:
Now I have to do another design change :rolleyes:
I think I have it figured out how I can cover the goof up with more maple.
<p align="center"><font size="3" color="red"><b>I'm blaming the whole thing on the cold <br>It kept me from concentrating enough on my work.</b></font><br><b>That's my story & I'm sticking to it!</b> :rolleyes:<br>
Moral of the story - If something is keeping you from concentrating - maybe you shouldn't work on the project! This post makes it sound more dangerous than it was - There really was no problem from a safety stand point - I never lost control of the box.
