More pinblock stuff

[Will Truitt]

Indeed.  That’s why I never bought one.  I can still remember the router
blade digging into my jeans and thigh whilst mounted and running  years ago
when I was free handing  whatever it was at the time.  One of those “This is
stupid “ realizations about ½ second before I showed myself WHY it’s stupid
and dangerous to be doing it that way.  Wanna see my scar?

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!

        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

5 internal sutures, 12 more to close). 






   It could have been a lot worse, but it did take the edge off the week...
