My HS shop teacher was a former New England furniture maker. He said when a joiner operator was asked about his experience, he held up his hands to show his missing fingers
I got to take wood shop in the sixth grade. First day of class we get the mandatory safety briefing. Charles McCaffrey holds up his hands which are both missing parts of fingers and says "pay attention to what I'm telling you or your hands are gonna look like mine". He had our undivided attention.
This is a furniture shop building chair legs. The bandsaw operator is, obviously, missing a hand - but no telling why. Might have been an industrial accident.
We had a guy lose a digit in shop class one day and while he was taken to the ER another knucklehead found the missing finger, put it in a jar and ran around freaking the girls out.

ReplyDeleteStumpy has worked in the woodshop from 23 years. He strongly recommends not running the saw without the guards in place.
