I've had my share of injuries, including one from a dropped plane iron that severed a tendon in my right ankle. I also seriously cut the tip of my right pointer finger with a utility knife, all but severing it. It is just so easy to hurt yourself with a moment's lapse in concentration.
Your endgrain is like your bellybutton. Yes, I know you have it. No, I don't want to see it.
after all the years there are no reports of Santa having an injury. Sawstop must have been around well before we knew and how old is that guy now.
Had enough injuries. I always remember a kid in school tightening his plane cap. Had in front slipped with the screwdriver cut his chin serious huge. Clear he was good at sharpening. Another kid threw shaper knives, I think a weed head and very likely one teacher as well. Heard some bad about that teacher years later and lines up. One of my worst accidents was cause him he be fired on the spot now. So lucky for the old europeans.
