Scott,

You need to sharpen your chisels and planes - too much hair on your arm. :D Perhaps you have a new method of testing for sharpness.

I try hard not to do that when I'm working with my scalpel, I've almost done it twice - put yer foot out to break the fall.

Then you have a little think to yerself - "That was close -DUCKHEAD!!"

G'day,

Just last week I did the same thing when mounting some layouts for a client. The scalpel dropped to the Tassie Oak floor and as always when dropping something I put my foot out to stop what is normally a glass or plate from breaking, luckily I stopped the scalpel, even more lucky was the blade was pointing up when my foot made contact. :eek:

what are you doing dropping good bits of wood anyway?

yep, I'd do (have done) the same... maybe it was all that soccer as a kid. It has saved dinging a nice crisp corner many times.

one of the best woodturners I know has taught woodwork all his life. On the last day of the school year he was making some drawers and to save time he stacked them up on the side of his tablesaw. The inevitable happened, the stack toppled and he instinctively reached out to save the wood from hitting the floor. Put his hand straight through the blade. Lost the top joint of his index finger and half of his holidays. He is normally the most safety conscious person you'd meet.
The wood hit the floor anyway, so don't feel so bad Scott at least you saved the wood. :D

Damn those things are hot to catch in your hand!
