I agree that we can never be too cautious with tools, but I hate hearing people say it is just power tools as I learned the hard way. I was trimming a very small piece with hand saw (one of those really sharp Japanese ones) and just hand holding it. As the cut was almost finished I thought to myself if I was using a power tool I would change my grip, but it is just a harmless handsaw. Well a second later I realized that one pull of the blade can cut skin down to the bone. Fortunately I made it through with no stitches, but a reminder that all tools can be dangerous.

Leigh D4R. I'm ready to start rebuilding my kitchen and as much as I like use creative alternatives to dovetails they just make the most since for kitchen drawers and the chest of drawers I will be building as well.
