I’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’s 2’ x 4’ x 2” 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.

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.

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’m 52). The Dr said he never see’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’ve blown a gasket!. Didn’t even know this could happen. The surgery is later today. 2 weeks in a sling then up to 8 weeks of physical therapy.

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

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

Later, Bob

I’ll selling my old (21 years) Inca bandsaw on ebay. 10’ throat, cut about 6 inchs thickness

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

Here’s the link to ebay, check it out.
