More pinblock stuff

[Fenton Murray]

Let's make a rule. Don't move the router or yourself until it stops spinning. I've broke that rule myself and don't deserve 10 fingers and 2 eyes. It pays to think and talk safety. Same with saws and sanders, don't move till they stop.
I'm not preaching at anyone.

  Ummm, Ed, I'm glad you're still with us. That tool is wonderful but damned scary; everytime I turn it on I feel like "this could be the last one"...:-). High anxiety and high awareness!

Band saw to shape, blue chalk, grinder bit in a hand-held router.  Index mark 
on bottom of block and plate so it goes back to the same place each time.

        Speaking of routers,  it may be useful to remember when cutting the 
pinblock free with the Bolduc piloted saw blade, that if you happen to turn it 
off and set the tool down while it is still spinning,  it can still grab the 
edge of one's shorts and bury itself in the top of one's thigh.  (Last Monday,  
5 internal sutures, 12 more to close). 
   It could have been a lot worse, but it did take the edge off the week...
