    You've got the idea Dave.

    Next effort your target is in and out in 3 hours!

    ... PS: I sometimes cheat and use my title. Staff then assume I'm a medico rather than a useless PhD. Gets respect I tell ya. You can buy a Doctorate for $50 on the web. Gives you better plane seat allocation too. ROFLMAO

    Dave
    have just tuned in
    Sorry to read about your near disaster
    no doubt you will look after the safety aspects next time.
    and yep you're young but that doesn't mean indestructible. Tis a good thought to think about repercussions with the family. Me I think about the pain - I think I'm allergic to it

    and ignore wheellin'
    I've go first dibs on your timber, cause I live closer

    Get better quickly and safely

    And Ern,
    often thought about my masters and suchlike and then bought a lathe

    Dave, you summed it up beautifully with two words - "Don't rush". When you do it certainly leads to an accident just begging to happen.

    Get better buddy...on the bright side, ya' still have the right hand for hoisting up a couple, three cold ones
    Cheers,
    Ed

    I'm just glad it wasn't too serious. Always best to slow down and re-evaluate.

    And you are really, REALLY gonna hate it if you ever hear your wife say "Oh crap, not again". This scenario is best avoided with lots of forethought, planning, and extra care. Or so I have been told.

    Heal fast and take care Dave.

    Sorry to hear of your mishap Dave, Just count it as a wake up call and be more careful and take your time mate, There's no rush, it wont go away, it will be there the next day if you don't finish it today.
    Reality is no background music.

    Thanks all. Actually snuck back into the shed to look at the bowl. Definitely gonna finish it

    Texian - if I ever hear those words, I am in deep, deep trouble. You'd see a lathe, triton, bandsaw, etc on the marketplace the next day

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Sorry to hear of your accident mate, I hope this doesn't make you gun shy next time you face up to the lathe. On another note, one thing that gets immediate reaction in an emergency room is "peanut allergy" and "satay" in the same sentence DAMHIKT .
    To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    Bad news alright. Can feel your pain. I severed the tendon on a finger, the sentence was 12 weeks, no driving, no shed and lots of rehab. Don't rush back.
