Two types of woodworkers: Those that haven't had a kickback...

OUCH! No matter how careful one is.... you can still get bit!

Glad your okay Allen. People think I'm crazy when I'm in the middle of a project and just stop what I'm doing to clean up the shop. Yesterday when I was working on the extension wings for my scms I did it twice because of things getting to scattered about not to mention misplacing about 7 pencils that didn't reappear until I cleaned up for the night. Almost like someone just snapped their fingers and they magicaly reappeared.

Im an idiot, that is the second time that pvc rolled off the top and hit the table saw.
My brotherinlaw was laughing at me an hour ago, he says it made a perfect mark, the exact shape of the wood, it swelled up like I got hit with a paint ball.

Alan I had to laugh when I saw this post. I clean up in the middle of working because I was canned at high school into making sure we cleaned up our mess. Wasnt funny at the time though but I guess that teacher still haunts me. As for the pencils, I keep accusing my son of taking my pencils only to realize he is not in the shop.
Glad to hear its not only me with the problem.

And Allen I feel that pain seeing that picture. Sure looks worse than paint ball injury.

Ouch is right. Glad to see it wasn't any worse. Although the wood was probably traveling a bit slower than a paintball (about 120 mph vs. 175 mph or so), the wood doesn't give like the paintball does when it hits.
