So yeah, be careful with bandsaws kids. No nerve So yeah, be careful with bandsaws kids. 
No nerve damage, didn't need plastics, but the teeth made it about 3-4mm in before the reflex yanked the hand away when the blade on the bandsaw jumped. 4 stitches needed to close it back up.
Rather glad of having the full first aid kit today! If you don't have steri-strips and finger dressings in yours, buy some today...  #shed #woodworking #bandsaw #safety #firstaid
So the old grinder decided, *after* I'd been nice So the old grinder decided, *after* I'd been nice and given it a new baseboard and a shiny new tormek jig, that its bearings had had enough and it started to wobble the stones while doing 4000rpm, hard enough to bounce the gouges off the surface. 
I mean, I got five years out of it, so I can't complain much, but exploding 4000rpm rocks aren't on my to-do list so it's now been retired 😀  Bought a @dictum_mehr_als_werkzeug low-speed grinder to replace it (Creusen 7500TS's are out of stock all over the EU and UK right now), and it is a chunky boi. It barely fit on the old baseboard and the tormek jig base has gone from the lowest setting over the board to the tallest one, but it works.  It is *very* solid, very smooth, very quiet compared to the POS lidl grinder which was a noisy screamy thing even when its bearings were working. I hadn't planned to get this for six months, but I'm not sorry, it's *nice*.  Now to see if it'll last for five years....  #shed #woodturning #sharpening #dictum
After making the new base for the grinder and the After making the new base for the grinder and the tormek jig, I had a 10" wide but only 6" long bit of oak as an offcut which I couldn't otherwise use, so I finally got to do one of the things I got the lathe for in the first place, which was to use up offcuts instead of burning them 🙂  #shed #woodworking #woodturning
