Yeah, saws scare the s**t out of me, and I was using a table-saw quite a bit today. That poem is disturbing, to say the least.

And JB, I'm sorry if my earlier post was a touch snappish. I did that post in a bit of a hurry, as I had/have a long list of shop projects I was working on during my break, and was in so much of a hurry to get back to them that I didn't attribute the quotes, which would have saved the confusion and me getting my panties in a twist.

Not at all a problem. I had a high-school teacher who was (like me) a fan of Procol Harum, and when they released "Shine on Brightly" (1968, my senior year) he would often quote this line from "Look to Your Soul":

For the lesson lies in learning and by teaching I'll be taught

I'm sure you work-to (and succeed-in) bring that into your classroom.

Thanks.
