Hello folks I'm back after a few health problems.
I'm starting a little project with a troubled youth. Gonna try to take him under my wing and give him a little help in life if the good Lord helps me accomplish my desired end ? I need your help in located a rather gruesome graphic video of a fellow that you might say got eaten by his lathe. I've seen it and while it is very graphic it drives home the point of safety and what can happen with a lathe the size of mine. I'm looking forward to sharing what little I know and I'm sure my young apprentice will be making his own trips to the Hobby-Machinist soon.
After working for 20 years as a lineman where the possibility of instant death and dismemberment was always stressed and needed to be constantly in mind, safety is a big issue with me. I'm proud to say that after training some 30 apprentices in that trade to the best of my knowledge they all still have ten fingers and ten toes. Our youth are very capable of learning our valuable trade and skills and it's up to us old fogy's to hand down and pass on what little we know. For this I greatly value and appreciate this site and all you fellow members that share your wisdom.
Thanks for your help.
