I've been recovering from hip replacement (for longer than I'd hoped for) and as such have been hobbling from place to place using a cane. When I'm not mobile I'm leaning on something to take weight off the hip.
The other day I finally got back into my shop and made a pilot bushing (trans to engine) for a friend. So while contemplating something I was leaning on the lathe chuck with my left hand - and started the lathe with my right hand!! Mostly just scared the sh*t out of me. Took a little skin off of one knuckle.
Evidently I needed a safety reminder after being out of the shop for so long (I had back surgery right before the hip).
