Roy Underhill injured again.

Hardhats are in order if he ever conducts a "turkey drop".

How many decades back was that comment?

Roy himself jokes about it... His Y2K Tool Kit was in fact a small first aid kit. The contents include aspirin, alcohol wipes, iodine ointment, adhesive bandages... I just checked and all the contents in mine are out of date... ;~)

I reposted some photos to ABPW... did it back in 2005 but they are probably long gone!

Looks awfully clean, no open packages, no blood anywhere.

My in-shop first aid kit consists of a roll of paper towels and a needle to remove splinters.... and some beers in the frig.

This first-aid kit resides inside a hand-cut dovetailed box along with things like a Norm Abram autographed biscuit, L-N balsa wood glider, and other oddities I've acquired over the years... I knew Roy at Colonial Williamsburg when I worked there in the mid-80s and have encountered him occasionally over the years. For example, he participated in my club's woodworking show and also did a special program with us. He is fun to be around... funny but serious about what he is doing. The Y2K Tool Kit is a nice reminder of good times.

Beer anywhere around sharp, spinning, machinery isn't a good idea. No beer, for me, anytime. Paper towels aren't going to cut it in my shop, anyway - more like a selection of tourniquets (blood thinners). ;-)

He has that. Pedal operated, shuts down promptly when blade touches flesh...

An autographed Norm Abram biscuit is the best thing I've heard in a long time.

I posted a photo to ABPW... It was clearly done as a tongue in check thing by Norm and his people... ;~)

On a whim, I grabbed all headers for the group via Easynews and got fills back to August 2008. My archive on this computer goes back to 2004, but I did not save everything. I don't have your Y2K posts from 2005, but did save your series of veneering posts. While going through the posts I found lots of names sorely missed in the group today.

Somewhere in the house on one of my old backup drives I have files from as far back as 1997, perhaps even 1996, but it would take a lot of digging to find them. I might have your Y2K backed up there.

Regards, Roy
