Hi,

Wow, glad you weren't more seriously injured. As a furniture maker, I can attest to the fact that power tool accidents happen in the blink of an eye-or faster-consequently, I hope you always make it a point to wear safety glasses.

When working on tools that spin-lathe, grinder, etc., its actually a very good idea to wear both safety glasses and a face shield. I've had, on more than one occasion, the frightening experience of having pieces "explode" while being turned and the face shield prevented facial injuries.
