Quick project tonight from some scrap 2x pine. No planning, no finishing. Only need it temporarily to get the plants off the floor so my dog won’t step on them again. Some time soon(ish) will be a potting bench build to replace this. -

When I was getting treated for a kickback injury, I was told that they saw a lot of table saw injuries, but they were all kickbacks, not lacerations or amputations. -
I don’t believe table saws are the number one injury. I have seen way too many others in 20 years of on and off construction. I think you have to frame the thought with the terms “needing hospital treatment.” Most nail gun incidents are minor misjudgments, requiring no treatment beyond basic first aid. The same goes for most Stanley knife injuries. I think insurance cares due to the cost of treatment. Most injuries that cause someone to seek treatment, are in the community that utilizes the ER. It would be interesting to track day of the week and time of day. -
Building some wings for the Kapex. These are "temporary" until I build a real cabinet for it and to help me figure out what sort of stop system I want. I cut a dovetail groove for now. I'm also going fence-less. Figured I'd try this for a while and then consider something like the Stealthstop (I welcome thoughts from those who have something). -
I heard an interview with an ER doctor who was asked what the most common woodworking accident he saw was. His answer baffled me at first - it was something like falls, followed by circular saws cuts, followed by nail guns accidents. What I discerned was woodworker == house framer in his mind. I suspect it's hard to get meaningful data on "woodworking accidents" because the ambiguity of the term. I suspect there are a lot more table saw accidents just because there are so many more of them than bandsaws (at least for wood cutting applications).
