My Aunt Margaret who emigrated from Ireland smoked a couple packs of non-filtered Chesterfields most of her life as well as being well acquainted with Irish whiskey lived to the ripe old age of 88. Tough old bird. My other Aunt smoked Parliaments and died as a result of a fall at 89.
Up until about 6 months ago I had 3 of those in my house. On the wall in the kitchen, night stand in the bedroom, and next to my loading bench down stairs.
About 5 miles or so from where I grew up. Worked in a china factory in that town when I was in high school. Made lamps and whiskey bottles for Jim Beam.
weight and balance……….learn to use it……..
I don't wear any loose clothing when using mine. I saw a picture one time of a dead guy wrapped up in a large lathe. A very graphic example of not being aware of what can happen with machinery.
Once years ago I was drilling holes with a drill press and swatting the swarf off the bit wearing heavy leather welding gloves, took a coffee break, and then slipped on a pair of cotton work gloves when returning for some reason. Just a forgetful moment in judgement I guess. With the first swat I discovered I was strong enough to rip the finger right out of a cotton glove when the swarf grabbed it. I was lucky in that there was no damage to anything but the glove. I did learn a lesson about paying more attention to what I was doing though.
