Re: [Boomerang_Talk] router incident...
Hi friends,
I back my yahoogrups confiuration to individual e-mail to read better and here I am! ;)
For me is very dificult work with gloves, I lost the sensibility of my hands and (IMHO) is much more "possible" lose some fingers with it that withought. I prefer work slowly and safe, take my time to rest (if I made 100 boomerangs with the router, I stop 20 or 30 minutes, drink cofe, stretch my back, fingers, hands, neck and arms). The secret is use guides ever and never trust in the lucky, do everything with the safe equipment (one or 1000 boomerangs), because the problems happen when we think "it's just one boomerang, very fast"...
Sorry for my english, I wake up right now, wash my clothes and get a cold day of 5C in a warm tropical country :P... I hate cold days, hate wake up 6am ;)
I'm going this year to the Smith Park (Chet's tournment), in Ohio and after it to the WBC in Seattle! Going to the GYM every day, doing exercises, boxing and loose 4 kilos in one week!!! Now I have just 3 months to training my throws and fix my back (hernia)... it's a hard fight!
Miss all friends and hope that I can see all there!
PS: My girlfriend will give me some english lessons too, so I will be "less indian speach" in 3 months ;)

Note: this is not a recommendation and not a result of any scientific testing. The following is my personal preference and can be ignored if needed. You asked, I answered.
I do not wear traditional work gloves in my shop. I don't think I have ever found a pair that fit well enough to allow me to work on boomerangs without them getting in the way and actually becoming a hazzard instead of protection. I think they have their place, but I would not use them in the shop sanding, cutting or with the router. It's not that I don't own work gloves. I have 5 or 6 pairs including some nice leather ones. I use them for other work, just not in the shop.
I used to wear latex gloves, mostly to protect my hands from getting dry and chapped from the sawdust. About two years ago my dntist gave me a pair of nitrile ones (the blue ones?) and I really like them. I have been using them since.
Cheers
