I was testing a newly sharpened auger bit by drilling into a piece of maple scrap in my end vise. The piece was clamped in the vise without a backing piece and was suspended above the screw and guide rods. I was drilling by using my forehead on the back of my hand to apply some pressure. Yep, it were sharp all right. I went through the piece of maple and the bit rebounded off of the vice screw. My forehead was a split second behind and I knocked myself silly on the pad of the brace. I saw stars. But the bit was OK. The bit was FINE. Russell Jennings used good steel. Yep. BTW, I believe an Extreme Gunterman involves some degree of testicular bruising. **************************** Tom Price (TomPrice@a...)

If you meant a clinic where people walk in with relatively minor injuries, the modern term would be 'urgent care' which is a new class of practice here in the US and where to go when you need immediate attention (like stiches) but don't need the full blown services available in the ER (emergency Room, Richard). Outpatients is where you go for minor surguries (like sinus roto-rooter) that you don't need to be held overnight for observation. -Ted Who's most serious WW related injury occured at the lathe when some spalted beech broke loose and whacked him upside his templar region.

Tom, Thanks for clearing that up. I have my clamps at the foot of my basement stairs, and almost everytime I go down to my workshop I'm reminded of G's tale. And that was some time ago. Hurts to even think about it. Forgot who it was that happened to.

Dispicable coolie humbly gratefull for opportunity to gather pearls of wisdom from the planed floor of this Hall of the Exhalted leaders of WoodWorking. But try as I might I cannot comprehend your subtle awareness of "Gunterman". My empty mind can only wonder in awe. I prostrate my useless body before you, as I would before That-Which-Was- Here-Before-The-Beginning, that I may, in some far-distant, orgasmic moment of glory, sense just the essence of your understanding. I immerse my filthy body in the quiet pool of your humility. Imagine YOU pretending that you have to use electricity. My prostate is enlarged in joyful expectation.

Well I got one to beat all Ah, yes, I remember that one now. I remember seeing it posted to rec.norm, and someone else was trying to decide which was funnier-the Gunterman or the one where Gauldin tried to give his wife a haircut with assitance from his dust collector.

Somehow I missed this! Just read it and laughed until I cried. Sorry John, it was potential disaster and I'm truly glad you weren't seriously injured but you told the story masterfully. The telling of the story itself deserves some kind of recognition. -- Nathan Founder of the "Home for Orphaned Sawsets" (and collector of same) Currently buying Disston saw sets & Sargent saw vises. > > John Gunterman wrote on Aug, 21, 1997: > > We are all farmiliar w/ O'Deens story of crushing his wedding ring w/ a > > Bessy K=Body clamp, Eh?.....

First I read Humble NatSen revealing his inner humble self, and it's assorted parts. Then I visualized John's " ...I _DO_ like thier Tee-Shirts..a scantily clad, Buxom young vixen nkneeling on a chest.." and pictured how one has to be built to kneel on one's chest. Moving along, I see Joe's 4 poster test procedure. It must be Friday. How did I get tuned into rec.wierd? If this keeps up a couple more years I might just unsubscribe :^) Gene (who once informed a worried former Nun that she should just expect this kind of thing as spring approaches) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Private replies: eugene@n...
