#theyre soo nastly they just keep going even when your hands are off the trigger and the wood is out of it

[sleepnoises]

today i volunteered at a historic home gut rehab the local habitat for humanity is doing and got to scooch around in the crawlspace and cut bits of wood and use a nailgun. at one point the Head Guy asked if i knew how to use a table saw and i said "yes but not with confidence" and actually? i do know how to use a table saw with confidence. but confidence that the table saw hates its users and thirsts for blood

#theyre soo nastly they just keep going even when your hands are off the trigger and the wood is out of it #must treat them with respect #i did a wonderful job cutting wood and shed no blood to its thirsty maw #this reads like im afraid of them. I'm just calmly reminding myself it hates me and wants to kill me as i feed wood through it. #the chop saw however is mainly my friend
