Oh dear...

Probably been seen before by a few people but still pretty jaw dropping!

I've no idea why he had his foot on the lathe bed and why the kid in the background turns it on whilst he's faffing around with it.

Oh my, that hurts just watching it. I have thus far survived my "Darwin Moments" relatively unscathed. Mostly stitches. No casts, though there was one or two times I probably should have gone to the doc and gotten one. Tis a wonder I survived myself.

Well, I've survived my parents, but if you have a recipe which will help me survive myself, please send a PM!  :lol:
