Wow, this is a really great thread. Glad to hear wisdom from the sage, lucky and formerly wounded.

The stories here make my own old wounds ache just thinking about it. None from from carving or the college building scenery days.

To share a story about long hair, a friend of mine learned the hard way that even loose longish strands in close proximity to tools is bad, if not embarrasing, idea. Yes, he had his long hair pulled back BUT some strand from the forehead area had come loose. Somehow, he was using a screw gun and his loose strands got wrapped up in the drill bit. Well, I don't know the uglyness of the initial injury. However, anyone could tell something happened from the rectangular bald patch in the center of his front hair line. Yes, he was the "head" butt of jokes for a while.
