Hi Ed, Glad you survived and I'm glad you didn't miss that tuning, been there. I wasn't bleeding, I had burdock lodged in my cornea which the walk-in Doc mistook for an infection 5 days later I can hardly open that eye and have a concert tuning that afternoon! My wife got me in to see my eye guy who removed the burdock and put me on the right eyedrops, I went home a slept for 2 hours, got up, dressed and drove 40 miles ain a snow storm to do that tuning, under flourescent lights wearing dark sunglasses(my eye was still partially dilated. For Joel, David, Fenton, ED and anyone else myself included, I think Ed's book may be one source, I took shop in Jr High and High school so I have the rudiments from those years but find myself not being as careful as I should. I googled power tool safety and found some good info on http://www.toolcrib.com/blog/2007/08/22/the-seven-golden-rules-of-power-tool-safety/ These 3 sites are all from that site and there are more, I just found these to be the most informational IMHO. Basic Woodshop Safety <http://www.inthewoodshop.org/safety/wwd01.shtml> Shop Safety Checklist<http://www.woodmagazine.com/wood/story.jhtml?storyid=/templatedata/wood/story/data/267.xml&catref=wd25> Using your Woodworking Tools Safely<http://woodworking.about.com/od/safetyfirst/Using_your_Woodworking_Tools_Safely.htm>(in depth stuff from About.com) For those of you who wish to, there is a wealth of free info under shop safety, tool safety as well as power tool safety, on google, just pick and choose what seems like the best approach to your personal style and dig in. Mike -- I feel sorry for the person who can't get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied, but he will never achieve anything worthwhile.
