Bad Habits

[wombatie]

We all have them, what are your bad habits?  Mine are holding my head on the side and wondering why I can't cut a straight and clenching my teeth.  I cracked a tooth once doing that.

 my first saw didn't have a air blower that worked so I was always blowing the saw dust off the cutting my self--I'm still doing it, even on the Excalibur--go figure--Richard aka thumbs

Not wearing a dust mask, and having the music to loud the missus can hear it in the house 20 metres away.LOL

I am with Merlin about having the music up too load...just wait until the Grand kids leave, it will be even louder.  LOL.  I too have a habit of not wearing dust masks only because I cannot breath in them.  I smoke and know I am going to die, so what does a little sawdust matter.

[MadHatter]

no music for me, but i do sing to myself lol. i have a bad habit of rushing that last cut or line to finish the project, then i cant wait to start another.

Trying to blow off sawdust while wearing the dust mask. Really hard to do!!

I think mine is waiting untill the blade breaks to change it. I am making more of an effort to correct this. Bad habits are hard to break.

I'm with you Russ, I also tend to wait till the blade breaks before changing it.
About breaking habits, reminds me of what one of my teacher once said, he said it was beter not to start habit for it's so hard to break. He said you can drop the h but there is stil abit then drop the a and you got bit left drop the b and it is still there. Most people give up at this point he reconed and so they never stop their habits. Thought I just share it for fun.

I'll join in in saying I always push to get all I can get out of a blade also , need to learn to change them before they get to dull.............Marshall

Does taking a nap in the shop count? My worst one is like a lot of others, no dust mask, it interferes with my cigarette smoking!!

A 'line' that has always stuck with me is....

"The BEST way to break a habit is "just DROP IT!"
