First glance at the original photo and I thought that was written in blood...

"Safety first" is for flying, not building. Always using a wooden block would keep us out if the club. What fun would that be?

No because it is difficult to hold something with a block of wood in your hand and we are dumb enough to put our finger right where we can drill through it!
PS. Even Van has done it! (I asked him.)

That's the easiest way to tell when the bit has gone all the way through the part. I only needed to check once...

You know you're a dedicated builder when your first thought is whether or not this should have been de-burred.

Drill Accident
In the 70's, I visited the Natchez paddle wheeler while in the shipyard. I watched a guy with long, flowing hair blowing elegantly in the wind, drilling 1" or so holes in plate steel. He was using a geared drill which managed to rip about a 2" ragged circle of hair from his scalp.  It was a bloody patch spinning on the drill about when the drill hit the floor and he was running for the office. Never saw him again but, I bet it never grew back in that spot. |
