Re: Enter to win a wooden kayak kit from Pygmy Boats
Please sign me up. Building a boat went on my bucket list after I visited Pygmy's shop on the OP during the Wooden Boat Festival a few years back.

It's safe as long as you remember not to advance the work piece too quickly up the blade on each pass.

Great article... and very true.
posted: 3:56 pm on March 19thFor me it was on the router table using a lock mitre bit without a supplmental tall fence... the piece stood on end (a short piece to test set up) got pulled into the split fence gap by the bit and my off hand (guiding it) went with it. It wasn't bad, but enought that it merrited a trip the local ER to have it looked at. They described it as an "angry wound" ... i.e. "you made hamburger out of the tip of your finger!".
I had a thought a split second before the accident that this wasn't as safe as it could be... then it nipped me. Oh... should mention it was really late (1am) I was trying to finish a project for a deadline...
A co-worker cut about 1/2" off the tip of his finger at the tablesaw about the same time.
You'd be amazed by the collection of push sticks and work holding devices I have now to keep my fingers safe.
Thanks for helping keep us all on our toes.

I'm really horrible at grinding my plane/chisel blades. I need a veritas grinding rest/jig combination. That's #1 on my list. #2 is a 890 plunge base. The 890 I have came as part of a lot in an estate auction - with incra fence, router lift, rockler router table top, and fixed base but not the plunge base... best $100 I spent last year. Added steel legs (on sale now) recently and a table switch... just need that plunge base for other uses of the motor.
