Sending this from work where I was looking at a coworker while talking and walked full-speed into the edge of a table

My leg hurt and it’s got a hella bruise going now

    Power tools are always the scariest. Machining tools even worse.

    You got off super easy if it didn’t suck your flesh into that cutting bit. I’ve seen the videos of people being wrapped up completely on lathe spindles and milling heads in safety presentations and it is NOT pretty. Don’t wear long hair or loose baggy clothes around the shop!

      I still have a row of scars, a constant reminder to treat power tools with utmost respect.
