      <title>Woodworking Injuries #1: Broken tendon, .....that's tendon, not tenon</title>

        <![CDATA[<p>Well, I have to admit this is a new one for me.  I&#8217;m in the final steps of completing my version of the new fangled workbench and was moving the top,  back and forth over the leg assembly.  It&#8217;s 2&#8217; x 4&#8217; x 2&#8221; thick with a 50 pound Craftsman woodworking vise on one end. Weighs about 125 lbs.  Never actually picked it up , just moving, flipping it top to bottom,   so I could get to the bottom and fit it to the leg assembly base.</p>


	<p>Well, low and behold,, I hear a giant BOING sounds from my left elbow.  Felt like a 110 volt shock. The arm went weak and I called it a night.</p>


	<p>Turns out, I ruptured my bicep tendon, the tendon that connects my muscle to my elbow.  Completely snapped like a broken rubber band.  Apparently very common for guys between 40 and 60 (I&#8217;m 51). The Dr said he never see&#8217;s this type of injury with women,  I guess the ladies are not stupid enough to move anything so darn heavy. So, at 51, I&#8217;ve blown a gasket!. Didn&#8217;t even know this could happen.  The surgery is later today.  2 weeks in a sling then up to 8 weeks of physical therapy.</p>


	<p>Hey older jocks, be careful in the shop.   I thought this was heavy but not THAT heavy. Get some help moving stuff</p>


	<p>The bench turned out pretty nice , will post this within a week or two.</p>


	<p>Later,  Bob</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been replacing my old Craftsman style stationary tools and upgrading to more powerful brands.   I&#8217;ll selling my old (21 years) Inca bandsaw on ebay.  10&#8217; throat, cut about 6 inchs thickness</p>


	<p>Well made by the Swiss, I&#8217;d love to keep this for a small work and use my new Grizzly for larger resaw work.  I&#8217;ve been very impressed with the INCA lately. I bought a new timberwolf resaw blade and it sliced through  3&#8221; wide oak and cherry, with nice straight cuts- easily.</p>


	<p>Here&#8217;s the link to ebay, check it out.</p>


	<p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&#38;rd=1&#38;item=310032962698&#38;ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&#38;ih=021">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&#38;rd=1&#38;item=310032962698&#38;ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&#38;ih=021</a></p>


	<p>Thanks for looking.</p>


	<p>I paid $700 for it 20 years ago and would like to see it with a LJ. Bidding starts at $399</p>

	<p>LOCAL PICKUP ONLY&lt; NO SHIPPING.  Extra blades free with saw.</p>]]>
