Ah yes – sorry, I didn’t spot the little screw-head peeping out from behind everything!
A salutary lesson that – I’m glad it was “only” a brief episode.
I have had near-misses myself, once dropping a heavy chuck off the spindle nose of the IXL 6″ lathe I owned at the time, trapping my fingers between it and the lead-screw. You could measure the thread from the cuts.
More recently, rushing to put my steam-wagon and tools back into the workshop out of a rain shower, I tripped and crashed down hard onto concrete. Although an X-ray next day revealed I had not broken any bone, whatever internal upper-thigh / groin damage the fall actually did, severely limited my activities for several weeks. Had I fallen forwards and not obliquely I would probably have smashed my face on a lot of angular metalwork.
Handling heavy lathe fittings was one reason for making a travelling-crane for my workshop. The lifting gear itself is a “Draper” chain-hoist suspended from the crab, which I designed so I could replace the chain-block with rope blocks and tackle if desired. (Chain-hoist chains clatter and bash against, or tangle themselves around, everything and anything they can!)
