    Maybe thats why 'we' are here. To assist and make people aware of
    some of the pitfalls of skipping steps to get things done "fast".
    There are many dangers at working at any jewellers bench, enough to
    discourage many beginners, I'm sure! 

    Here is one very true story, I once worked at a jewellery company
    and a young woman was doing some pre-cleaning at her bench with her
    flex-shaft. It was going at full tilt, just buzzing away, merrily
    along till her lo-o-ong red hair got caught in the rotating sanding
    disk on her handpiece. All I heard was "help!" and other
    expletives,....her shoulder long hair was wrapped around the mandrel
    and right up to her scalp. 

    We had to use scissors to cut off some of her hair to release its
    hold on her head. She then afterwards tied up her hair while at the
    bench. Many lessons were learned at that moment. I tell all of my
    students at my "newbie" class to please tie their hair immediately!
    If not, they can't continue with me. I don't want the risk of anyone
    getting hurt...Gerry!
