More dumbest things

[Ed62]

What's the dumbest thing you've done while working with wood? For me, it was before I got any "real tools". I took a circular saw, and used it upside down, mounted to a piece of plywood. Hey, I got a table saw! Then I was going to rip a 2X4 freehand. Needless to say, it's now kickback time. I caught it right in the gut. Never went to the doctor, but I stayed in bed for a couple days.

I did that same thing with a reverted circular saw.

Dumbest thing? Still got 2 thumbs and 8 fingers so I guess I ain't done it yet!

Dumbest thing? Reaching out to touch the bearing on a flush trim bit before the router had stopped spinng down after I turned it off. I still don't remember why I wanted to touch it in the first place. Got a burr on my fingernail from the bearing but nothing else.

The dumbest thing I've ever done with wood is saw it up and try to make something out of it.

I think they mean besides the obvious!

My dumbest thing was telling LOML that I could build that better and for half the price!. At least I got to buy a new tool......one for pulling my foot out of my mouth.
