Woodworking Injuries: A Lesson Learned in Safety
When using power tools, you have to be safe.
That is one of the major rules that applies to any hobby that uses dangerous and powerful tools. Saws, drills and anything else you can think of has the potential to do some damage in some way or another.
Sometimes people get a little sloppy, and they learn the hard way – that it pays to pay attention and use safe practices when using tools. Especially saws.
These links will make you rethink safety in the shop. Warning, some of them might be a little intense. But nothing too overly gory.
- Various woodworking hand injuries (kinda gross pictures in some cases), a reminder of what a saw can do to your hands if you are not careful.
- A nasty jointer injury and a story to go along with it.
- An accidental drill to the ankle.

If these links and photos don’t get you thinking about safety, nothing probably will.
