Lathe accidents

Hi Everyone,

In my previous posting I mentioned the hazards of turning cracked or damaged wood. Noted lathe artist Lynn Yamaguchi of Tucson, Arizona had an accident last fall in which I believe she was hit by pieces of wood while turning a piece on her lathe. You can see the details on her website and blog at:

She has a number of posts in which she details the injury, the surgery she's had, and  a lot of other information about her ordeal.

I sincerely wish her well and I hope she has a speedy recovery.

Always be careful when you're turning wood.

Best,
VW
