I did some research, and it does appear that wearing gloves isn't a great idea for sawing or drill press work. I think it's probably ok as long as you're careful, but to lessen any risk of injury I'll take the advice. Thanks.
Hay you, don't mean to bug'ya.

But I get the feeling this is just lip service, I really hope I am wrony.
It's in this comment, I am not sure you really get it.

I had a boss once that said until you get five stitches, you don't know squat.

You might be "extremely careful when working with this stuff".
"Being very conscious to have my hands/body in the right position", this is just basic stuff, common sense, all thou I find common sense in not that common.

Having "read through all the safety manuals and even watched a lot of operational videos" is excellent to hear.

Being alert is good, feeling naked is also good, because it will heighten your senses, may be even to the point of being "very alert".

But it want last, I will bet my right nad, that it want last.
You will become complacent and it what take long, in fact you want even notice it, until something out of the norm,
something outside of your control happens and that’s when the s@at hits the fan and if you have been cutting corners you will pay, big time.
Xion even if you do everything to the highest safety standards all the time, thing will still go wrong.

I will be honest with you, for the first time last night in this work log, I never read each and every post, I just looked at the photos
I never read that Voigts had cautioned you on using gloves, but I am dam glad he did.
10 points to Voigts.

While I am giving you a so called "lecture", I know my kid don't like them either, they'll get over it.

Do you have a mobile phone on you when working in your work shop?

Is it turn on?

Do you have 991 (Your relevant Emergence Number) programmed into speed dial?

Can you get a strong signal everywhere inside the workshop?

Are there people always around you (calling distance from work shop) if you needed to call out for help?


I don't want to give you a hard time mate, I’ve got better thing to do than type this all out with two fingers, but you are playing with fire and those that don't know how to play, get burnt.

If I didn't care about you mate, I would give you a half line caution and be done with it.
Enough said.

Looking forward to your nest update mate.
