It is better to never find out if good safety habits pay off in the long run.........and much better than finding out how no, or bad safety habits may reward you.

A local contractor I know, ran his chain saw into the top of his leather booted foot last month, severing three tendons, and cutting about 1 1/2 chunk out of the bone. And he has a set of leg guards that he wasnt wearing!

(John 8:32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (KJV)

And the truth is that religion is nothing more than the lame attempt by largely ignorant people to

bring sense and order to a world that was beyond their comprehension. Once you see religion for the

delusional and superstitious artifact it is............... you will be free !

Pyrography outside, as in out in the middle of the yard, or have a fan blowing it out of the garage! I didn't realize we had a smoke detector in the attic attached to the home alarm system!

I was flame coloring some yellow pine for a project with a torch, I guess normal Pyrography wouldn't get quite that bad.

While I'm in here, think back to when you first started... Remember wondering why the guys in the pictures needed so many tools? I'm learning now why, you always DONT have the one you really need!

Just got a new one the daybefore yesterday:

don´t even think about using the time your contact cement (NOT waterbased...) needs to dry to melt down some end of a polythread.... right where you applied the cement...o.O

Spousal units make the strangest sounds when you work with contact cement indoors.

If you think you have plenty of material for that big project,....you don't., buy more leather, dye, finish and of course it's also a good opportunity to add any last minute tools to your order.

If you think you have all the tools you could possibly ever need, stop listening to your spouse......you don't Go buy some more tools.

If you think you have learned absolutely everything you will ever need to know about this craft......you haven't, do yourself a favor and buy a few more tools.

If you're bored in the evenings and there are no good John Wayne movies on, grab your laptop and start searching eBay for a few of those elusive "vintage" tools.

Things a little slow and your spouse suggests you work on some things around the house......no time for that, you've got some urgent tool shopping to attend to.

I think you get my point......
