I had the opportunity to get up close and personal with an embossing press some dozen years ago. Thanks to a faulty switch, the thing kissed my index, middle/social, and ring fingers with 15 tons pressure from tip to second knuckle. Had it not been for the 1/4" gap between dies, I'd have a permanent rock-n-roll sign going. Still, 8 breaks and a lot of busted skin, plus a number of weeks of bending fingers that were reluctant to bend. Still have to do it. Yow...I know a few luthiers around town here who've become acquainted with Table Saw the Sonofabitch. Seems like being musical is hazardous work. Why don't we all just quit it before we hurt ourselves?
Nah...forget I said that. Sometimes it seems like playing fiddle tunes is about the only thing that pulls me through the day. Taterbug On Nov 29, 1:53 am, [email protected] wrote: > Just the facts.
