    Default Reading - just for fun

    Adapted from something on the internet..... TOOLS AND HOW TO USE THEM

    SKIL SAW - a portable cutting tool used to make boards to short.

    BELT SANDER - an electric sanding tool commonly used to correct minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.

    TABLE SAW - A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity. Very effective for digit removal!

    BAND SAW - A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut large pieces into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash. Also good for digit removal!

    CARVEWRIGHT CNC MACHINE - a small compact machine capable of producing exceptional carving projects until it spits your project out onto the floor, refuses to carve or give you unknown codes you cannot decipher.
    The CarveWright can bring you joy or sorrow, induce feelings of love or hate or like the 'Son of a Bitch Tool' make you want to grab it and throw it across the garage while yelling 'Son of a Bitch' at the top of your lungs.
    But the CarveWright can, most often, be the tool that brings you self-satisfaction, high praise for your work and gain you recognition as a master woodworker. The machine also provides you the opportunity to be a part of one of the greatest groups of machine owners around the world. Plus, you will never lose a digit ... unless you do something stupid.

    And I'm nearly positive I have used all of those tools exactly as you describe at one time or another. Nice.

    Just had the 6 stitches removed from getting my right thumb too close to the table saw. Only injury from the CarveWright so far is raw fingers from multiple bit changes with sharp bits.

    Love it Sharon,

    You've documented all the major tools and described their use and purpose very well. The Son of a Bitch line however does include a whole wide range of power and hand tools.

    Clint, sorry to hear your saw bit you that seriously. Hope it's healing well. I too learned a healthy respect for blades at the young age of seven (right to the bone with a band saw). It's kept me wary ever since and the safety features of the CW were one of it's big buying points to me.
    Fair winds,

    I tell people, if I only had room for one tool... it would be a CNC. Cut, miter, bevel, plane, and carve!
