I'm back in the shop !!

I missed the post when you announced your accident but welcome back nonetheless ! It’s a beautiful bowl, made all the more memorable by what happened along the way. I’ve done some live edge turning myself, including pieces with voids in them, and they certainly require an extra level of care, or else ! Good luck !

Beautiful work.

Been on the injury side far to often. We heal and we learn….....we hope!

Nice bowl. Really like the live edge. I too had a slight injury this week while turning a burl, out of balance, and learned a lesson. Lesson number one is be sure and keep the tool rest close to the work. Lesson number two is take the time to balance it as close as possible before starting the turning process.
Its was my fault and it never would have happen if i would have kept the tool rest close where the tool could get in between the wood and the rest.
Like Monte said we heal and we learn.
Not healed yet but sure learned.
Glad to see you back in the shop but be careful in the future. Don’t want to read about any of the lumberjocks getting hurt.

Tom—glad to hear your injury wasn’t severe, what happened to you is exactly what happened to me !!!! We all learned lessons in the shop everyday, hopefuly we get the message before something bad happens !!!!!!

Glad to have you back. Even happier to hear that you’re okay. I have had a couple scares with my lathe, but fortnately the person that gave me my first “lesson” pretty much told me if there’s room between your rest and your work, something is going to find its way in between. I think the fact that I’m still relatively new to turning keeps it on the forefront of my mind… hopefully it stays there.

Good looking bowl! should have stained it with your blood as a reminder. A little creepy, but a good story nonetheless.
