re: Admitting our dangerous (and dumb) mistakes might help others.

There are several recollections here from woodworkers that bring back memories for me.

Steve66 recalled his clothing getting caught. My husband asked me a couple of days ago about the shirt I was wearing. I told him it was my reminder to not wear loose clothing in the shop.

About 25 years ago (yes, I keep things a long time), I was breaking down 4′ × 8′ plywood and as I reached across it, the shirt caught in the circular saw. I immediately took my finger off the trigger so I was not hurt, but it awoke me to the danger of loose clothing.

By the way, I still wear that shirt in the shop occasionally, but I always tuck it in!
