|  Don't upset the Wood Gods 1st Blood to the Excalibur Well I'll be buggered if I hadn't just posted a reply about being careful of blades (HERE) I'm down the shed merrily cutting away. Changed to a nice new sharp blade started up the saw, the bloody piece caught, jumped, the finger slipped, and needless to say I had to sand blood of the project.  I've nicked my fingers too many times to count, but have never, never, never drawn blood with the scroll saw.  Whacked a band aid on and all is good

| Wow, I showed my 8 year old daughter that if the speed is low that she can put her finger right on the blade and not cut herself. She loves to cut on my scroll saw when I'm out in the shop and not using it. Dang John, thanks a lot for wrecking everything I thought was true  Tom |

| Heck, the first time I used a scroll saw I drew blood. Course my shop has blood stains at EVERY power tool I own! Was helping my nephew and great-nephew the other day making a plaque to mount deer antlers on and grossed both of them out when I got a tad too close to my drill press and wounded myself. Was even worse when I had no band-aids (real men don't need bandages for small nicks! LOL) and I continued to drip blood as I worked. |

| Bandaids??? I keep a 3" compress bandage with a 3' elastic bandage sown to it. I am proof that any job worth doing involves a drop or two of blood. Alan. |

If it was raining soup, I'd have a fork LOL I've also done the finger on the blade trick to show how safe a scroll saw is

| it only cuts if it can pinch a bit of your skin...usually when your finger is against the table or a piece of wood. Bob

| I've abraded the skin a couple of times without drawing blood, but a FD #2R does a real good job trimming the fingernail--that just grew back from being trimmed with an Olson spiral! Don't know what to tell you John--maybe an offering to the gods or a purifying dance in the shop is in order. (You know three turns to the right, three to the left--wait a minute, you're in the southern hemisphere, so that might not work. Maybe just a good expletive aimed at the offending blade. and a brew to take the pain away.)
