I’m a dumbass and sawed into my workbench.
ETA: Threw a maple spline into it to commemorate the occasion.
Oh that’s barely a scratch. I thought you had cut the power cord maybe :)
Better than the fingers 🫠
Based on the title, I assumed fingers. I have been to the ER with enough shop co-workers to have that be my first thought.
Second guess was “sawed through the power cord”
It’s not a workbench if it doesn’t have battle scars. Some of the fights you won, some of the stupidity you fought.
Welcome to the club.
Now you have two workbenches
Not quite that bad lol
Super agree with the other user saying to make it a built in ruler.
I got one of those Kreg ACS things gifted to me and I immediately plunged the saw THROUGH the table, shitty depth stop gave out when I leaned on it, I was bummed lmao
I use a foam insulation board as a cutting surface so I can safely cut into it.
My issue is that I always forget to account for the thickness of my DIY track saw guide, so I end up only cutting about two-thirds of the way through my piece.
Ryan Reynolds: “But why?”
Another reason I’m not ashamed that I built mine out of 2x4s. If I manage to completely destroy it, I’ll just buy more crappy spruce, glue up a new slab, and keep going.
'tis the Workbench of Moria, in which the carpenters sawed too greedily and too deep.
This but a Scratch
Now scribe some inch markings either side of it and add a built in ruler to your bench. #featurenotflaw
Damn that’s some good, positive thinking. My applause to you!
I threw a maple spline into it but I might still do as you suggest lol
That’s just patina. We usually charge more for that.
As nature intended.
right of passage. chicks dig scars. pain is temporary. glory is forever.
