OK, who’s the woodworker/survivalist who thought the panda planner was the best thing ever and spread it on their super specialized forums and had 2 people buy it?
To clean his lathe spindle John Herning
Inserted while it was still turning
A finger, alack, which he didn’t get back.
To manage with nine he’s now learning.

@Limewater I once had a bowl fly off the lathe at high speed, careen across the basement and smack into the furnace. I walked over, picked it up, thanked it for not killing me and got back to work.
@capnjb@Limewater I like that face shield. I like it a lot. All of mine are basically junk at this point due to long disuse, so I need to get new ones now that I can get to the Shopsmith again. (I need a new welding helmet and several pairs of gloves, too.)
@Limewater@werehatrack Yeah, there is a lot of room and it’s easily adjustable at the back of the head. It flips up and down without issue. I’ve had this one for almost 5 years and for an inexpensive, effective face shield, I’d give it a thumbs up. Something I’d have no problem buying again. Especially at the price.

Well I do have a lathe, pew pews and a bunch of solar powered stuff, but that wasn’t me.
I do need to get back on the lathe… it’s been too long. 
@capnjb very nice

Safety third!
@capnjb @Limewater sounds like a likely scenario for this picture circa late 2020

@Limewater @werehatrack It’s actually dropped in price since I bought it. It’s not expensive. It’s only like $30 now. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001VY3ACE/
Wouldn’t weld with it though
@capnjb @Limewater I’d happily use it with welding glasses when doing oxy-acetylene stuff, but it’s very much unsuited to arc.

@capnjb @Limewater @werehatrack I thought: That’s a great looking shield, I should buy one.
Amazon said: You did, in 2017.
@blaineg @Limewater @werehatrack Hah! Amazon is my bookkeeper too
I used to shop there when they were just a big online bookstore 
Not sure where you get the idea for woodworking or survivaling from but I am now curious about that pubic hair website at the top of the list.
