Thread: Very dangerous woodturning environment

So that is what a 'gun' turner looks like.

Funny with all that [protective gear, smock, Face shield, Powered respirator, Ear Muffs and the Hand gun, he seems to be wearing track shoes.

Shooting boards! Of course. that's what he's doing. And he prefers dead centers rather than live ones.

Well, Bill did post about having a mouse problem and his shop cat was getting too fat to chase them.

I did ask Bill once about stalling his Robust (I have the same model, 3 hp motor) and he commented that he could even stall a VB36. I wonder if Mike Mahoney can stall his 5 hp lathe??????

robo hippy

Support your right to arm bears!

I will never understand the mentality of "I have the right, so therefore I will"

I have the right to consume alcohol in my home. Wouldn't do it while turning ....

I wouldn't argue the right to bear arms with someone who does.

And therein lies much of the problem!

It gets to the stage where "I need to bear arms to protect myself from others who bear arms."

How many of you blokes have seen this article - so bloody sad and sooooo preventable
Cheyenne Alexis McKeehan, 3, shoots herself after thinking handgun was Wii control | News.com.au

guns on their own aint a problem - as for cars-- It's the nut behind the bolt or the crank behind the wheel ie both deadly in the wrong hands I dont wear my firearms when turning and I dont turn when I'm target shooting and I do neither when driving. Its a matter of things in the right place and minimizing risk to O where possible This guy has an extra risk in his turning which can be removed at no cost Cheers www

This thread was not created to be a soap box for the gun lobby or anti gun lobby. I am growing weary of threads being hijacked and taken elsewhere. I am interested in your opinions on woodturning not guns that's why I am on a woodturning forum.

Lets keep it to turning.

Oh, I am sorry, but weren't you the bloke who pointed out the offending item in his original post.

Looks to me like the turners have done the hijacking

Well I'm a bit perplexed here , if you didn't want a discussion or soap box on guns etc, why did you bring it up originally. You did post the video asking if anything was odd about what he was wearing, then in post 7 you specifically questioned the gun, so obviously you created the thread to discuss guns
