Couple weeks ago I had close call on safety. First time in a very long time.
Routers most dangerous tool we got.
I used my Porter-Cable trim router for small job not related to ski building. While doing that I put my hand in close proximity to router bit that's happened without thinking task through and before you know it router slipped and jump on my index finger tear up my working glove. It happened so quick I felt bit on my sin. Thx G-d not even scratch.
Work safe

I had a similar incident with my trim router. Index finger hit the lock nut that hold the bit. I built a small plastic gaurd to prevent this.

I can consider myself very fortunate with this incident.
I also was thought not to wear gloves but this day's I wear gloves all the time when working and they definitely save me finger from big injury this time. Have to be very careful working freehand with router
Worked on my profiler. Almost done ....finally
work in progress on new table
drilling new rails

Over weekend upgraded fence on my tablesaw. What a the difference it's make. Performance improved 10 folds. Before performance was marginal to say the least and I been thinking to get bigger 220v belt drive tablesaw. Now simply I couldn't feed it fast enough with any hardwood even IPE.
With this performance cutting strips to make the core shouldn't be a problem anymore
