Like all that.   Hearing protection.   Eye protection.  Save the fingers for the next step.

Have fun with your projects. 

Yeah, I’ve gotten old enough to realize that mistakes happen to ME, not always the other guy, and I’m only doing this for the fun, not paying bills, so no pressure.

Speaking of mistakes, (not injuries, those are nothing to joke about, I'm talking about mistakes with planning, joining, etc.), I have always been of the opinion that the worst mistake you can make is the one that you don't learn from.  That being said, I have learned a lot! Enjoy your shop, just remember, it's addicting.

That being said then, I must have reached the PhD level by now.  But, we never stop learning, do we?

Gene, I certainly hope not.  I don't think either one of us is ready to be looking at the bottom side of daisies.

True enough, Tom. But, before those daisies, I'd like to get to the point where those lessons aren't so expensive.

Me three...there are even text books written about mine...e.g. DIY for Dummies, Woodworking for Dummies, Dumb mistakes to Avoid for Dummies...

Dad always told me, "Learn from the mistakes of others...you'll never live long enough to make them all yourself!"

That should take first place in the Shop of the year award. Even put the benchtop tools to bed with blankets. WOW.
