Narrow escape
on: March 08, 2008, 17:50:18 PM
I was using a drill on full speed, huge wood drill bit,  power button locked on and I dropped it.



The hole is where the tip hit and the rip across the knee is where it all spun round. £60 pair of jeans ruined but it coulda been a lot worse cos luckily the drill did an emergency stop type thing.  

Phew!

Reminded me of that super fast retracting table saw that stops you slicing your finger off:

That could have ended a lot worse than it did.

Reading this just reminded me of the time I decided to staple two pieces of paper together with a staple gun, by putting the paper on my leg ><

One of those things where you can visualise it, and see it ending in tears right from the start!
