My neighbour once came over and asked to use my 16" disc sander, said :yes; no worries. So he threw his foot up on the table, turned it on and sanded the calluses off his heels. White dust went everywhere, including my lungs :can'tfindthevomitsmilie:

That's extremely good Woodwould, amazing how many apply to how I use my tools. Would I have your permission to "copy" and "paste" this on another board or would I be violating your copyrights? Jerry

Please feel free to post elsewhere at will.

Thanks for the laugh, D.D.
It reminded me of a time, many years ago, when i went to a building site to ask the foreman if there was any fear of a job on his site. While we were talking, someone on a scaffolding nearby started apparently trying to cut a board with a power saw. It made the most awful noise, just as he said, "What experience have you had of this kind of building work?" and I replied, "Enough to know that that bloke has the blade in backwards."
I got the job, but that was the beginning of quite another story!
