    When a good piece of wood is about to hit the ground, what do you do?

    Scott,

    You need to sharpen your chisels and planes - too much hair on your arm. Perhaps you have a new method of testing for sharpness.

    I try hard not to do that when I'm working with my scalpel, I've almost done it twice - put yer foot out to break the fall.

    Then you have a little think to yerself - "That was close -DUCKHEAD!!"

    G'day,

    Just last week I did the same thing when mounting some layouts for a client. The scalpel dropped to the Tassie Oak floor and as always when dropping something I put my foot out to stop what is normally a glass or plate from breaking, luckily I stopped the scalpel, even more lucky was the blade was pointing up when my foot made contact. :eek:
    I make things, I just take a long time.
