That's kind of creepy, actually.
This week on Handyman's Corner I want to talk about eye protection. Specifically when you don't use it. When you're leaning over your Skilsaw, reeaaally getting your face down in there because it's a delicate cut and you don't want any wavering.
It occurs to you this may be a good time – nay, the perfect time – to put on safety glasses. Then you think, Nah, I'm almost done.
Two things: I didn't lose an eye or anything. Instead, I gained about four pounds of sawdust, added to my eyeball cavity and I think it migrated up into my brain. Really need to sweep that up.
It would have taken two minutes to find and put on some glasses, but thanks to my time-saving decision to not bother, my eye has been on fire for the last two days, geysering out tears and fluids and causing children to scream and run because it looks like half my face is glowing red.
In conclusion: sawdust in the eye is a pain in the eye.
