[quote name='Bay Splayer' post='517444' date='Jun 18 2009, 03:10 PM']i have been in the same trade (window fitter) for the past 12 years so work with power tools every day
returned to bass playing about 2 or 3 years ago after a break of many years, but only playing at home
joined a band about a month ago and since then, whilst at work, i keep finding myself thinking
[color="#000000"]"[b]if this drill/driver/chisel/saw..etc,etc....slips, then thats me buggered for rehearsals, gigs[/b][/color]," etc
dont know why, as i have never (touches wood) had a bad work related injury whilst in this job
anyone else have similar thoughts or am i just a bloody weirdo
before my present job i was a post man and [color="#FF0000"]nearly lost the tip of my right hand middle finger [/color]in a letter-box related incident [/quote]
I also did window fitting for about 24 years in that time saw some quite horrific accidents (A doctor once told me without a doubt Glass is the most dangerous of all cut related materials- It will cut you every time ) I was quite lucky and never got hurt but I always wore gloves ect . I still shudder thinking about talking 6mm DG plate in a wood window out.
