Shop safety
 
Guys I just wanted to take a minute to remind you about shop safety. I know most at the plug party were wearing eye protection, a couple might not of been. My uncle in California may lose his eye. He was drilling something this past week, and a piece shot up and hit him in the eye, slicing it in two. I know that he was'nt wearing safety glasses, him and my father are " old school" and never wore them. I hope they both will now. Please be careful it is the holidays, Merry Xmas.

Sorry to hear of your uncles misfortune. :(
I hope it reminds us of how quickly something can go wrong. I am guilty of sometimes forgeting to put glasses on or being too lazy. I will be reminded of how dangerous it can be from now on.

Safety First......

Bill, sorry to hear about your Uncle.

I've seen some shop accidents cause people to lose fingers and thumbs do I try to err on the side of caution... Too easy to be complacent about it too...

Thanks guys I know how easy it is to be complacent. We are still hoping for a miracle.
