Man, I'm glad I've NEVER done ANYTHING like that :o

Hang in there Brent, it gets better.
 
Could have been worse!

Your luck it was just the cue. If you are working around a lathe with loose clothing, you are taking a terrible chance. If that shirt sleeve had started wrapping aroung the cue instead of just catching on a knob, we'd be looking at pictures of your arm.:eek:

Safety first!

it was short sleeve shirt. i never wear long sleeves when working. thinking of working topless now!!! :rolleyes:
 
Well, we already have a "barefoot cuemaker" (Willie) ... so why not a topless cuemaker? lol.

NO audition necessary. We trust you.

Just a thought as I was taking apart my saw machine earlier. While some people have sucess cutting shafts on lathes I've never been one of them. My new CNC lathe does a very good job but my saw machine is smoother and it only takes 3 min. per shaft. I'm going to use the lathe to cut any shafts that I might need in the next month or two but the saw machine is getting a CNC retrofit and will return to the shop for shaft duty again.
