    Hellooo Orchid, Wow what a thread! I have read all of the injury
    e-mails and a few off-line as well and I am once again amazed at the
    things we put ourselves through  to work in the trade, and I'm sorry
    noel but I think all of the horror stories ( I havent laughed so
    hard in quite awhile ) have raised very valid safty isssues along
    with what I thought were some really wonderful shop tips and
    remidies. What I found the most amusing were the things I had also
    done to  myself . ( somtimes more then once ) We wear our scars well
    and I am once again very proud of my fellow craftsmen and women. When
    I think of all the dangers and the other often addressed
    difficulties ie. overseas compitition , difficult customers, and all
    of that kind of stuff. I have to wonder for the fairly modest life
    the trade affords most of us why do we continue on? 

    As for this guy the thing that still keeps me interested is that
    every now and then (not often ) I get to work with and somtimes even
    take part in the creation of somthing "beautiful" and that carries
    me through alot and nourishes my soul. To all the younger folks
    Listen well and be carful. and Enjoy Peace Karl
