MM they're all are right!!! I never put a sex to the voice at all. No nagging was mentioned thats way different at least for me.This is comming from HWMBO's opinion only = MINE !!!
I just was saying sometimes your little voice tells you you should not do something a certain way and I/you should listen. It usually amounts to nothing more than finding a safer way or becomming a bit more familiar with a particular task.
When I was first learning woodworking I subscribed to both Fine woodworking and Woodsmith and read these along several other books over a year while I planned shoppe and tool purchases. Having never had any formal training It has served me well as I now do many things that I learned only by reading a blow by blow description in one of those or other publications. This was before I had any online knowledge or access?
I'm learning this craft pretty much the same way but there's so much available online I find myself doing my reading over the net. For example I never new of the risk with using a roughing gouge on non spindle work! But now that I know I head the advice of the majority. It just makes sense to me!
I would say it's very similar to when I only had a radial arm saw and would rip as well as crosscut with it. I never new of the danger of ripping with the radial arm but once I read it I still continued till One day when I launched a piece of solid cherry 8/4 x aprox 1" into and thru the cinder block wall in my shop.Scared the bleep ity bleep out of me. The procedure always made me a bit unnerved (aka little voice)
Now I read and apply what I learn or go search for more info when the LITTLE VOICE says no no no!!!
Most of the time it just slows the process until I feel more comfortable or apply any needed additional safety measures.
Makes me more comfortable thats for sure.
But then what do I know???
Answer ??
A little more each and every day!!
Thanks all for the input though I really do apreciate it
