Today.....

[Parm]

I spent all afternoon stripping down my newly acquired second whet stone knife grinder, spent hours cleaning polishing greasing and generally tinkering around. Once all done naturally had to try and sharpen something, so off to the kitchen to have a go with a knife. Being a gadget freak I have more knifes than I realy need so started with a small one, all was well then moved to the next issue, things were going well and knifes razor sharp so continued moving up a size and even did a few Japanese knifes. Right with everything going well, moved up to my largest Global chefs knife, (my favorite knife). This is when things went a little wrong, knife slipped in my wet hands, tried to catch it like an idiot and ended up cutting my finger, quite badly. Lots of blood over kitchen, which propably wasn't the best place to be doing this.

But I do have a set of very very sharps knifes !!!

cutting edge technology ehh

cutting edge technology ehh

Definitely so. Just done a risk assessment on it all and decided I need a proper sharpening jig attachment. Sadly they don't make em for this machine so a custom set up required with modification of the machine required.

If this happened at work I would have to sack my self if you knew what I did for a day job

some gloves would have helped, the jig only helps while sharpening not catching the knife when it falls from your new jig upon release

Guns for show, knives for a Pro.........

Agreed, but a jig is still required to get both sides the same angle, I'm a bit anal on things like that. Plus it gives me an excuse to spend another weekend in the workshop making something I want rather than actually needing it

Reminds me of crocodile Dundee, that's not a knife, THIS IS A KNIFE !

Definitely, without a shadow of a doubt !!!!!

You want believe how many different types of gloves I've got. I get samples posted to me on a weekly basis!

I think next time, more haste and less speed ( I just want to have a f@?£ing g). Stop being like a kid in a toy shop.

Oh. By the way, should add I'm pretty good with tools, this is the first time after an exceptionally very long time I've drawn blood with anything from the arsenal in my home workshop

You're going to tell us you're an H & S officer........

 

[MoreWellie]

you have my sympathy, you reminded me of the time I was working on a circuit board and hooking my soldering iron on the edge of the bench

I saw it drop off out of the corner of my eye and instinctively grabbed it, four finger tips pressing the hot stick into the palm of my hand, at least it didn't burn the carpet!

I did not catch my soldering iron, just saw it fall onto the £150 Thetford toilet I had just bought for the van. Dearly Beloved does not know yet, since I am so slow at doing meaningful stuff.

I have made machine guards for many a global company, under the direction of H&S.

The H&S man at Findus some years ago was proving to the staff that the pinch rollers were accessible through the guards' aperture. Need I say more, ...sleeve of white coat .....up to his armpit....stopping production until freed.

Oh how we laughed.....up our sleeves.
