Title: ROUTERS!!!
Post by: lharles on May 11, 2006, 05:28:12 pm

Prior to trying to use my $20 pawn shop plunge router for only the second time, (both using this specific device and also total number of uses of a router - period), I made sure to put on safety glasses.  I made sure that the debris guard was on.  I made sure I was wearing pants.

So, I start the thing up and begin testing it out on scrap wood to determine how well I'll be able to work this thing when I use it on the wood for the actual control panel top.

Fast forward ten minutes.  I've now determined that I can effectively follow a traced out pattern on the wood and set the device to cut to the appropriate depth.

I AM ALSO DEAF NOW!   :dizzy:

I GUESS I NEED EAR PLUGS!

WHAT!?

Ugh.

I have a headache.

Wearing pants is usually a good idea.

I love it when people get that joke.  :)

Good times.

I think Zakk was more concerned with the concept of NEVER having to hear you speak of going about without pants.  For ANY reason!
