[TheForge] power tools

[Andy Gladish]

I know how easy it is to get hurt using power tools and how quick it
happens, but in a lifetime of using them most of most days my worst injures
and closest calls (that I was aware of) have been with sharp hand tools.
I'm thinking of a day of trimming shade trees, when I hung the pole saw on a
branch above me and moved to a different position in the tree...sure enough
the hooked saw blade came down across the side of my neck-the E.R.doc
said"about another quarter inch"and I would have bled out in seconds.
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around!
