Footwear

Well, thank goodness for steel toed work boots! I was moving my 10" rotary table from the mill to the floor, and as I neared the floor, my hand slipped, and the table went down on my the top of my boot. :x No harm to the table or toes. Just enough to irritate a fellow.

I really didn't even think about what would have happened had I been wearing tennis shoes (normally I do) at the time, but the thought of smashed, broken, and otherwise traumatized toes doesn't sound appealing to me. :shock:

I really think I will utilize my work boots out in the shop going forward!

What in the world were you doing putting that big an object on the floor?
By hand yet.
That belongs on a roll about table. And/or use a fork lift.
...lew... ps good you were wearing those steel toes.

Yes I wear safety toe shoes most of the time. I probably should wear them more in the home shop. I Try to be aware of what I am doing If I am moving vises or chucks or machine I definitely have them on. but for light model part I am not that concerned but I know I should be prepared ,plans have a way of changing and you do not always take the time to change shoes.

A 10" rotary table with a chuck would kill my back. I would need a neurosurgeon .
