I woke up this morning ..Da da da der da! feeling a bit jaded due to a bottle of 14% Yellowtail last night followed by a large scotch ..Had breakfast then went into the shed...Yesterday I had glued up some Koa bookmatched plates and I removed them from the clamping jig, marked out the shape and then went to the bandsaw to trim off the edges I was still feeling a bit fragile as i started up the motor. Halfway thro' the job as I was trimming the narrow bit at the waist "Boom" I jumped up in air and something hit me hard on the head "what on earth was that" I said the bandsaw was making a whiring sound and the blade had vanished..then I realised the blade had broke..the thing that hit me on the head was the blade tension knob on top of the machine it had catapulted up and off the ceiling onto my bonce..I must have had the tension to tight but the blade didn't break at the weld it broke in two other places...Anyway I'm off now to change my underware.
