loose clothing/items and fast spinny things are never a good combination.

I have always remembered that one since I saved it and showed it to a non farmer neighbor who had just bought a new post hole auger for his tractor. He was not very familiar with such things and I always worried about him.

Same one you have been concerned about before? If so, he is fortunate to have you 'steer' him.

That video is why I like paddle switches so you can't just leave it on, especially on a grinder. Last year at work, I had a duo with a bad grinder on their hands, or rather turned out to be the extension cord. The one pipefitter was holding the grinder with the switch turned on, not a paddle switch, loosely in his hands while playing with the cord. The other was playing with the connection of the extension cord to the grinder. The jiggling worked and the grinder turned on at full rpm spinning out of the guys hands and wildly on the floor. Luckily, it didn't hit either of them. Those things are dangerous though and even with using them every day, you can still get careless and hurt.

Going by the sound, I think it was turned off but was still spinning. Those grinders always make me nervous and I never turn loose of one or set it down until it has completely stopped.

He and his wife are both great neighbors. I do worry about him a lot. He is the one who a few years ago drove over the push mower his wife was using with his Ford tractor he was bush-hogging with.
He is getting wiser as time passes. He is smart enough to learn, it just was not the world he was use to.
He is not really a woodworker or I would worry about him more. He is into model RR's and has a Model A Ford sedan I would kill for.

You know, you don't have to kill him. Just don't help him out for a day and he will do it all on his own Just make sure you sign a contract that says if he dies, you have first dibs on the Model A

I believe that would be out of character for Francis!

Not as funny as the dude in my shop one cold ass morning, you know, the kinda cold that makes your fingers, and especially fingernails hurt? Well, he proceeded to fire a brad, that was too long, through a piece of trim he was holding. The brad went through just enough to smack his fingernail without penetrating. It musta stung really bad, judging by the look on his face, and the distance covered by the thrown brad nailer! I've smacked my fingers during cold weather before, so I know it smarts, for a long time. Warm water hurts even more! LMAO Still makes me laugh. jimsjinx
