19. Never let go of a circular saw while it's still spinning.

The same goes for a router.  I'm lucky I didn't take my finger off.  It did bleed a lot though.

Mine just caught a piece of the wood, shot up and hit me in the stomach.  I was pretty lucky.  The saw then landed on the cement garage floor.  I thought the laser would have been knocked out of line, but it was fine.  My cut was screwed up though.

I finished routing around the edge of a piece of MDF, then I sat the router on its side on top and proceeded to brush off the MDF-dust with my hand and contacted the still spinning router bit.  What a dumbass I am.  It's no wonder I had two minor but equally bloody shop class accidents in jr highschool.  One required stitches.  Me and power tools, really don't mix well.

I was cutting an 1/8" peice of plexi for the CP. I was pretty excited since the project was coming to a close. Wasn't even thinking about securing the plexi down. Got the drill to full speed and when it hit the plexi - the plexi spun around and hit my hand. I seriously thought I cut something off.

Wouldn't that be some sh!t? Cut off your gaming hand trying to build a arcade machine?
