How Much Pain Does That Jig Cost

Does seem kind of funny, huh?

It would make a great book for the bathroom “the things I messed up in my life and I lived to tell about” <laugh>
Or better yet a pod cast.

that is kind of funny. so in some peoples situations doing something dumb will get them a brand new tool. hopefully it doesn’t give some people incentive to try to do something dumb hoping that they’ll win a free tool.

Maybe it’s a ploy by the insurance industry to identify high-risk inidividuals.

i could see that

I’m kinda wondering what limbs I have to endanger to get me a nice bandsaw …

-- When you give someone a chance it may well be their last.

I find this oddly coincidental. Last week I was trying to cut a dovetail in a piece of nicely figured cherry, and the dovetail jig slipped and ruined the joint. So, as we were trying to figure out how to solve this problem, my sweety insisted that we go get a new Leigh dovetail jig so that the problem didn’t happen again.

I don’t know if that counts, but I think I’ll try to write it up to be entertaining enough for publication…

It does seem to be rather convoluted. Being rewarded for doing something careless or stupid? Go figure.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

I think it is a good idea to ask about the outcome of someone making a mistake, if it turned out good. But to offer a reward of a free tool to someone because of a mistake they made that caused an injury? Not a good idea. To think that if someone would hurt themselves on purpose to receive a reward is hard to belive, but then I guess there is that person out there someplace.

“You cannot fix stupid, but you can reward it!””

Too late , the govt already has that one.

well if thier rewarding for stupid mistakes they better get one heck of a large truck , cause i got a huge load of tools comeing to me ! lol

They should be rewarding you with a first aid kit!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

I think it is a dumb idea. The worst horror story gets rewarded…?

-- Maplewood, MN

Yea rikkor but I’ve sure had a lot of dumb things happen to me. In other words I would’nt have to think up anything new I’ve made so many blunders that I’ve escaped serious harm from it’s not funny. But yea dumb idea to make profit off someones misery. mike
