I like it!I know all about hand injuries. Luckily this one didn't happen in the shop. Providing external link in case anyone is eating breakfast or has a weak stomach.
At least you didn't have to learn to wipe your back side off handed! That never feels right, lol!"Fun" fact. Almost all serious hand injuries are on your off hand. I'm left handed. Left hand holds tool, right hand gets injury.
Second fun fact... While one handed, I built an "AR Tac" legal f class rifle that won me a state championship.
I never really figured out how to crack eggs with one hand, though.
I had a co-worker get carpal tunnel surgery on both arms the same day. Needless to say, he must have a good wife.At least you didn't have to learn to wipe your back side off handed! That never feels right, lol!
Show off.I made my wife and I matching barrels.

Or working with a drill press. You can not find the on/off switch fast enough!One thing I was told many years ago, NEVER wear gloves while using a lathe or mill. If they are necessary, wear the Nitrile gloves that will rip apart.

My Victor has a 4 foot long foot stop. Last time I needed it was forI'm a huge fan of foot pedal momentary switches. I don't like limb modifiers running on their own.
My Victor has a 4 foot long foot stop. Last time I needed it was for
the coolant nozzle. Should have been using a chip breaker. Which
reminds me as a drill press was mentioned. My old shop had an
American Hole Wizard, radial drill. I was in the office when I heard
a loud thump and the power dropped out. One of the guy's that knew
better was pre-boring steel plate and a hefty spiral grabbed his un-
tucked flannel shirt. The floor supervisor pulled the main, killing
power. No cuts or lacerations, but he did break a rib. And let me tell
you why our surface grinders had manual throw pole magnets. Ya'
don't want to have a face full of exploding grinding wheel and steel
parts flying when power goes out on the magnet......Play safe fellas !!
