I love these kinds of threads...

"Here's what I do... but I wouldn't recommend it" LOL

It's the proverbial "Do as I say, not as I do."

My wife is always complaining that I'm not wearing safety glasses, or using a table saw without that annoying safety guard. My reply is always: "I may not be working safely, but I'm working smartly".

After spending many years working in machine shops, I know what I can get away with (safely) and when you need to take proventative measures.

So far, I still don't have the nickname "Lefty"

But be safe. Do as I say, not as I do!
