- A woodturners nightmare. Momentary lapse of concentration and using the wrong tool for the job. Thankfully the Face Shield performed its function and prevented any injury. Last line of defence is the safety equipment, safety glasses would not have been good enough in this event. Always wear a face shield when woodturning is good advice.

That's the 'is my face and teeth still intact'-touch.
the "WHERE'S THE DAMAGE?" touch.
Nearly had summer teeth…summer are over here, summer over there.
@@ChaseThePinballWizard crashed my electric bike and had a sweet kiss of concrete, somehow I only got a laceration above my eyebrow, was checking all my fingers and joints for any damage while I felt warm blood on my face, can now understand how shock prevents feeling pain (for a few minutes at least)
I recognize that "is my head still there" touch...
I tripped my skates over a badly installed manhole back in 2018, at 15 mph (24 kph). I went upside down, hit my helmet on the asphalt, before landing on my left shoulder blade.
Needless to say, the impact on the helmet was incredibly hard. My first reaction after crashing, was to feel for a potential open head-wound. I only remembered wearing a helmet, after touching it with my left hand and feeling an indentation on the helmet. Not sure how I got my left hand up that high, cause I broke my left collar bone in the process and couldn't use my left arm for 4.5 weeks after that.
Regardless of it all... Had a light head-concussion, with some mild headaches for two days. Then 4 weeks of rest to let my collarbone heal, followed by 10 physiotherapy sessions. Was back on my skates in less than 1.5 months. But I now wear an extra protective ice-skating shirt, for my ribs, shoulders and collar bones. :-) ...
Rub face, look at hand, sigh in relief.
Damn.. i imagine you putting the chisel back on the wall thinking "yeah.. boys, thats enough for today, ima head right in and drink a cuppa coffee"
My thought exactly, tomorrow is another day
....er Captain Morgan. 😂
Coffee or beer? Sure, it may only be 9:05am, but I'm definitely having a beer after that.
@@timconnors .....after having the wood explode or just because it's after 9:00 am ?
🤣🤣🤣
Hey, if its on a thursday 0900 is alright for beer. Practically friday by then.@@randywl8925
Without a face shield you'd be needing two urns! Kudos for being prepared!
I agree, or at the very least there would have been some leaky facial skin. I was lucky to have my shop camera actually on recording, so that the safety moment about how effective the Full Face shield is. Z87 rated. Thanks for watching and as always stay safe.
About thirty five years ago I was turning a piece for the bottom of a porch column over 24 inch diameter going too fast. I now have a steel bar in my left forearm with ten screws in it. Looks like the head of a garden rake broke my arm in seven places. Stupid luck my arm saved my head from taking the hit. Sets off all metal detectors. Have a lot of trouble in airports. BE CAREFUL!
This happened to my dad about 2 years ago. Except he wasnt wearing a shield only safety glasses. A piece hit him square between the eyes, nose and forehead. Broke his glasses, broke his nose and fractured his skul. Took a while but he made a full recovery with no lasting effects but a big scar. He wears a full shield now when turning. The video speaks for itself.
Damn.... Lucky he still has both eyes. Best case scenario!
Never, ever think that you will look weird, stupid, newbie, weak, uncool, or dorky, for wearing the very best face/head protection you can.
Look at this over and over and imagine the probable damage to him without the full face shield: broken/fractured jaws, teeth, cheecks, nose, temples, eyeball lacerations or destruction, unconsciousness...do you get the picture?
Tons of respect to this guy for wearing that mask and being willing to share this with us!! 👍💯
Thank you for your comments, stay safe and have fun. Thanks for watching.
But squintig looks cooler
Safety is paramount. I can’t even begin to tell you the injuries I saw in the military when people were not safe. Im not an electrician, but I will try to relay this story as best as possible. A kid fresh out of Civil Engineering (CE) Tech School was shadowing his boss dealing with some electrical service lines (the big heavy duty 6”-8” around type cable) that go into a big electrical box. The boss told him what the plan was and everything. They were going to disconnect one of the lines so that they could install new ones going out from the box into a new building. Long story short, they didn’t follow procedures WHEN TRAINING A NEW PERSON, which is different than with an experienced person. The kid grabbed the line to disconnect, but it was still live and his entire body was fried instantly from thousands of volts blowing through him into ground. It even blew out his ankles because of his rubber sole boots and the electricity trying to get to ground. He was only 18. I never forgot that and safety is always on my mind. I don’t care what it is, I get safety gear first. It may be cool to have a pirate patch, but I prefer two eyes and being alive. I can take being laughed at by the guy with three fingers, atleast I can hold a fork properly
nah don't be a coward. These face shields are completely unnecessary. All you need is good reflexes.
If someone is so vain that they care how safety gear makes them look, I'm gonna be honest... I don't really care whether they wear it or not. Let them learn the hard way.
Best advert for face shields I've ever seen.
as a 71 yo wood worker who has been woodworking since elementary school, thank you for posting this video. Many do not understand the importance of personal protective equipment (PPE). I retired as a safety expert in industry and 'things happen' even if we do everything right. In this video the face shield not only protects the eyes from saw dust but also distributes the force of the blow across the shield rather than just the point of contact. That allows such a strong hit to not be as damaging as getting hit without any protection.
Thanks for watching and for the comments. The last line of defence, the PPE, was proven effective in this event. This video has been used by many groups as “safety moment”, which is why I posted it. I have inexpensive security cameras running 24/7 in my shop which fortunately has been able to capture the event. There is another video on my channel where the event involved a failed potentiometer that drove the lathe speed to max on start and the rather large work piece launched. When I replaced the failed electronic part I was sure to use a totally encapsulated military grade part to keep dust from affecting its function.
@@bertdelisle393 thx for sharing.
Thank you for an insightful comment.
How many fingers do you have? Asking for a friend.
Thanks for sharing. Scary, and hopefully educational to those wood turners who don't already use protection.
That’s the best ever health and safety video. Ever! Glad you’re okay, most of all.
Thank you for the kind comments.
I do lapidary, not wood turning, but this is a fine reminder to wear my safety gear. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching.
Just seeing this. One spectacular demonstration of why to use a face shield. Back in the 90s, I was one of those "self-taught" loners in a shed with an old junk delta. Iffy bowl blank, but I had no way of knowing that (ignorance). After a bit of roughing cut on the exterior, "BLAMMO! -- chunks flying, including one whizzing past my head. Time for face shield. First was acetate, then found out that acetate provided little protection. So, polycarbonate it is. And has been since.
Glad you aren't on the serious side of lathe injury statistics, and very generous of you to post this video. There are those who need to see with their own eyes (while they have them) before they do any safety stuff.
And this has made me think about my own practice: I don't generally use shields for spindle turning, just safety glasses. And though I don't do stave construction, I do make urns. So, from now on, face shield for big spindle work.
Thank you for that
Thanks for watching, it is a great safety moment for Woodturners. I use a shield for all turnings even small spindle turnings, it’s just easier to use it for everything than to chance ever forgetting it. Stay safe and have fun.
@@bertdelisle393 why did it explode like that?
@@kanhdahar2 wrong tool for the job.
nothing compared to me blowing my foot up with a thunderflash, have it on film soewhere in my collection
Cabinet maker for 30 years and that's the one tool I have never thought of buying always scared me since middle school.
Me too. When I was in manual labor in manufacturing, they put me on a big lathe. Minimum wage, no experience, no school. Few easy tasks and the next day I was working on 300 kg steel cylinder spinning at uncomfortable speeds. I'm just glad I didn't hurt myself. There was one guy in early twenties, who had rambo-like scars from when the lathe grabbed him by the shirt and threw him over. I just don't know why you don't need a license for a lathe but you need one for a forklift. Anyway, you should be fine with a small wood lathe. The most that can happen is what happened in this video. Table saw is more scary imo.
We can't control these unlucky accidents, but we can control how prepared we are whenever they happen.
Glad to see you're unharmed. Working with lathes is never a game.
Looks like a dangerous way of making fire-wood. Seriously, glad to see the safety gear did its job. Scary.
Safety is no accident! Good on you for using the proper equipment!
I don't know anything about woodworking. If someone asked me if it was possible for wood to just explode like that. I'd say "no way". Good thing this video was recommended to me.
Geeeeez, I think the scariest thing about this from an outsiders perspective is that there was literally zero warning that was going to happen, it just exploded like a hand grenade was in it! I'm glad you're okay! That mask at the very least saved a hefty bill on facial reconstruction for sure!
I always love seeing protective equipment changing a serious injury to just a bonk and a scare
Thanks for posting this. As a safety professional one of my biggest challenges is teaching my people that things CAN happen to them.
In machine shop in college they tell you about ppe and everything but they don't really emphasize how important it is. They should show this video.
I agree, even in industry many comments are made, talking about the use of PPE, seldom, thankfully, is there a real world event to watch where PPE performs, and not everyone has a camera recording at the exact instant the event occurred. I was lucky to have my shop camera recording so it captured my event.
You should of been in my machine tooling class in the early 90's. This is nothing to what my classmate did. He was on a 14 in Webb engine lathe and wrapped his sanding strip cloth around the spindle part we was turning. It pulled is arm in snapping it in 3 places before pulling his head into the machine. It removed his ponytail his right ear and pulled half his face off. Trust me to this f$$king DAY!!! I have never wrapped my sanding strip or paper around a spindle I am turning. I most certainly will never the rest of my life. Like his face was between the 3 jaw Chuck and the bed way of the machine. I was on a mill across the shop floor. The oil pan on that machine looked like something from a horror movie. I promise everyone had respect for those machines after that.
I had a segmented bowl fly apart on me a few years back it happens just like that. Boom and it is over. As you turn the machine off you check for dry pants. mine a chunk hit me in the chest and made a big bruise.
Thank you for posting this. Glad you're okay hopefully? I go back and read Lynne Yamaguchi's article in the June 2014 issue of American Woodturner often (it's printed up and in my desk.) In it, she describes the worst injury that she received while woodturning, and it's really quite eye-opening. I urge any tradesperson and certainly any woodturner to read it and get into safety culture, because we all deserve to make it to a ripe old age with all our parts as intact as we can manage.
its videos like these that encourage me to make use of shields at all times when working on spinning or air work
Never thought of a face shield. Looking into that now and I don't do wood turning. But any woodworking with power tools can have accidents.
Thanks for watching, and I agree a face shield is a worthwhile shop safety gear. It better be looking at it than looking for it.
Thank you times 100 for showing this. I see so many folks that don't take even small safety measures so this is all I need to see. I have been slack in the past buy not any more.....🤜🤛
This could be the only commercial a face shield company would ever need
PPE is always a great idea no matter what machinery you’re working with. This could have been a million times worse. Thank you for being smart!
These videos will never get old ... kudos for uploading ...
A great endorsement for that specific face shield that many of us have and use !!!
GLAD HE USED PROTECTION, THAT WAS CRAZY
I'm really glad you're still here. I started getting more pushy about PPE in my shop in my mid-twenties. Hadn't seen any accidents back then, it just made me feel better. But since then... I've had a welding mask in "grinder mode" (darkening disabled) stop a failed grinder disk from embedding in my face, and I've had multiple tendons saved by cut-resistant gloves.
I felt really dumb buying the fancy motorcycle jacket for summer riding when I bought my first bike a couple of years ago. $350 for some stitched together mesh fabric and a couple pieces of flimsy plastic armor! A few months later, I ran into a ditch on a country road (target fixation, amateur mistake). The bike bucked me back out onto the pavement and I slid 35 feet on my shoulder blades and the back of my helmet. (went back with a measuring tape and gopro footage to confirm that number )
As I sat in the ambulance, marveling at the fact that I was barely bruised, I thought about what bicycle roadrash looked like when I was a kid, and how badly I could have been hurt going three times that speed. If I had been that badly injured, and a man poked his head into the ambulance and said he could fix it all, good as new, that very second... I'd have given him any price he asked.
What brand is that face shield? I want one.
I have a feeling this video is about to go viral. I just got recommended this video by the algorithm and I don't even watch wood turning videos.
Thanks for watching. It’s not every day a piece of safety equipment is caught on video performing as per design. Hopefully folks that work at activities where face shield’s are recommended can see just how effective this simple safety gear actually is. Major note: it has to be worn to be effective.
@@bertdelisle393What rpm was that doing?
@@andy1way if memory serves, the project was turning at about 700 rpm.
@@bertdelisle393 I was thinking of getting a wood lathe.. second thoughts!
Is that a typical speed? Are speeds work piece diametre related?
@@andy1way Yes speed and diameter need consideration, typically if you multiply diameter and speed in rpm the number should fall between 6000 and 9000. At least that is what was recommended by a turning workshop leader/instructor. So in my barrel event 700 rpm x 7” = 4900 which is actually lower than the recommended maximums. There can be many factors that come into play with woodturning, type of wood, condition of wood, (cracks, splatting, etc) that will worth considering what speeds to turn. Also tool presentation is critical, as is tool sharpness. Woodturning with sharp tools is a lot of fun. It is worth considering joining a local club or taking a course to gain some basic skills and awareness to really enjoy the experience of woodturning. Stay safe and have fun.
Glad you posted this. It could save someone else.
Thanks for watching. That is why I posted, encouraging folks to be safe.
I think I need a better face shield , thanks for sharing .. cheers Tim
Thanks for watching, face shields work,
This exact scenario happened to me in high school shop class. The pieces that flew upward shattered the guard instantly, but along with my visor, saved my face from the hard impact. The pieces that flew downward had enough force to become lodged in the floor. I was only hit by one small chunk in the shoulder, which left a nice bruise. Wasn't a result of my actions (the lathe had been tampered with by another student) but I cleaned everything up, apologized to the shop teacher (we were tight so he didn't care at all), and I went home for the day; Enjoyed a crisp after-school underage beer to calm down.
Videos like this are why i always use PPE while working. Ever since i was like 19 i learned that i rather look goofy while working, and losing a bit of dexterity here or there. Then lose a limb, or worse by a split second that would change my life.
I know the feeling: "Am I bleeding? Should I sit down? Is my heart still beating? Am I a ghost?"
How does something like this happen?? Holy hell. Glad you made it out unscathed
Thank you for posting this. I don’t think some people realize the damage these things can do in a split second.
Thanks for watching. I agree.
This is definitely one of those shop accident videos that really makes you flinch. Glad you're alright, and that the PPE did its job.
Glad you're fine man. Could've gone really bad.
Oh boy, you have dodged an artillery salvo !
Wow… glad you are ok!
I just had my nose broken (2 days ago) by a high lift jack handle, had I not been wearing my safety glasses I would have lost an eye.
Just found your channel and subscribed, hope no lasting injuries from this accident.👍🇬🇧
Luckily no harm done thanks to having and using the Bionic face shield, it did its job and I’m grateful for that.
I just love your workshop. All things aside, I can see that’s your happy place.
Glad you're ok! That was crazy fast.
Thanks for watching. Yes at about 700 rpm things happen quickly.
Wow, I'm glad you looked to be OK. Thanks for share.
that's a relatable moment when he had to touch he's face just to check if it's all mangled
Wow. It's like that entire workpiece became a face-seeking missile.
dammmmmn.
Even with the shield Bert took that like a champ!
feels like a textbook example of helmet/face cover safety lol. glad you are ok
I had a catch a few months back causing the piece to fly off of my lathe and collide with my face mask. You appear to be ok, I was and am thankful every day I was wearing it.
Thanks for sharing the video, good safety message
Dear Bert, I've been right there with you on that. It happens. Be safe.
thats a nice advertisement for the faceshield.
Prime example why there is warning labels on all face protection
I have grown to like my filtered-air fed hood. Cost a fair bit, stops me breathing wood dust, feeds cool air over my face & clears the visor, it makes me look like a space-cadet and is impact rated against what we saw here. Now it is definitely my favourite thing, after seeing what can happen. I’m trying imagine that incident without any protection!! Oooooh.
In high school wood shop, I found a bowl in the scrap bin that someone had given up on. The instructor said it was not a good species to turn a bowl from, but said I could try. About three minutes into it, it came apart at speed, zipped past my ear and flew most of the length of the shop. 😳
That is a perfect reason to use a faceshield, one never knows for sure what grain structure or micro cracks that lurk in the wood. Thanks for sharing.
@@bertdelisle393 it's also an excellent reason to listen when someone with decades of experience tells you something (anything) is a bad idea.
That could have ended very badly. Glad you’re alright
Just recently I bought a lathe and was in search for good face shield, as if I predected this possibility. I am glad this video confirmed I was on the right track.
Also used the face shield a week ago fir grass cutting with my trimmer and was pleasantly surprised comparing with protective googles.
AND he put the tool back. What a guy.
I'm glad you're okay! I didn't know a log could just explode like that.
I’ve never thought about adding a face shield to my PPE collection but now I feel like I need to pick one up.
Thanks for watching and your response is exactly why I chose to post the event, stuff happens and my “last line of defence” performed as designed.
Glad you’re okay
I definitely take safety gear for granted. Glasses for saws, earmuffs for loud noises, etc. Videos like this, I need to be more conscious. Glad you’re alright sir.
Thanks for sharing this the importance of PPE is often overlooked Im glad your ok, kind regards from William.
Thanks for watching and commenting, I agree that PPE is important as a last line of defence and can only do its job if it’s being used.
My greatest fear next to my grinding disk breaking apart mid-use. I also understand the “check if I’m still intact” touch.
Years ago I was using a Reciprocating saw and I hit an unseen wood screw and it was sent flying towards my cheek
and
bounced off the safety shield visor I was wearing, no injuries. SAFETY is Number 1 all the time 24/7.
Glad you weren’t hurt. I remember back in my high school days the same thing happened to my. I was almost done hollowing out the block when it snapped in two and flew out. I was only wearing eye goggles. Thankfully both pieces missed my face and body in general. I switched to electrical class the following week. lol
This video brings back a bad memory. I had a Somewhat similar damn near life altering incident. Mine involved a router instead of a lathe. Milled 1' 1/2 by 5' 1/2 solid knotty cherry. Basically a 2X6 cherry that needed a full round over on the edge. I had a couple hundred boards so instead of a 3/4 round I found a full 1' 1/2 round over. Pretty much a Shaper bit that fits in a router And I put that huge bit in my Porter Cable 3 1/4 hp router. With my jig and spacers, I could cut 1/16 or 1/8 per pass. About 20 boards and several hours in I got greedy, who needs spacers, WAY to deep of a cut the bit hit a knot and the board exploded at crotch level. Believe me when I say I THROW the router and ripped my pants down to make sure everything was still there. LOTS of splinters. Shortly after I found a farrier leather smith to make me a 1/2 inch thick laminated leather apron. Don't be stupid like me
In an occupation where Centrifugal Force often has the upper hand. Glad you're alright to make another one!
With the video I was able to review the event and locate all of the pieces, glue it back together and finish this project.
My Powermatic has a steel cage that I seldom use. Since I do larger segmented urn shapes (but MUCH slower), I am going to start working on using it a LOT more often. Thanks for sharing!
A good example of why protective gear is needed.
Наглядное пособие по технике безопасности. Зачёт :)
Never seen such lethal intent from a chunk of wood, whole thing tried to aim right for the headshot. Pretty good call with the face shield, wish people would stop ignoring PPE because they dont feel like wearing it.
It’s good to see that there’s still intelligent people on earth.
Wow vive les sécurités… !!! Une bonne leçon à donner à ceux qui font ça en amateur !!! Dieu qu’il a eut de la chance cet homme la d’avoir un casque !
I use the same face shield. Glad I do!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for commenting.
It really Urned some high praise........
Props to the guy for thinking about turning off that lathe quickly. I'd be so worried about my face I'd run out to a mirror and forget to turn it off
even the slowmo video on x0.25 speed it happens instanteanously almost.
happy for the man, i feel like we as humans sometimes understimate the
forces that we have. especially in traffic with cars.
I like the part where he is like, "time for a beer."
Rule #1 of wood turning:
The outside diameter can not be smaller or equal to the inside diameter.
Good job wearing the safety equipment.
Wow that was pretty dramatic, what was the reasoning for the failure like that, lots of people need to know.
Yeah I'd say you had it going a little too fast there for being a hollow object.. Luckily you're okay..
Dang. I’m not sure why this showed up on my feed but good on you for wearing your PPE. I bet that bang in the face mask rattled your cage though. I worked a riot once and caught a can of pork and beans right in the plexiglass face shield. It didn’t hurt but that bang rustled my jimmies. 😂
Has this happed at work one time. I left for the day
I’m glad you were okay!
Great on you for the face shield. I should invest in one. Just use regular safety glasses at the moment. Personally, I'd ditch the long sleeves though. Stay safe out there!
Thanks for the tips!

Glad i saw this. Just started experimenting on a lathe, only small peices right now while i figure out more about it. I was wearing those hard clear saftey glasses, but i can see thats not nearly going to cut it.
I agree, a good face shield is important piece of safety equipment. Have fun and stay safe.
Get yourself a Uvex face shield at the very least. 🙂
Even put the tool away at the end. ‘I won’t be needing this for a while.’
That face touch is when you can’t tell if your face is still in place… one of my friend didn’t wear face protection. He got a nose in two parts and a surgery for getting metal parts out of his face an teeth. He is all right now. He got lucky.
Wow! So glad you walked away from that.
Glad you werent harmed Bert
Thanks for watching, this event made for a real world safety moment.
Man just avoided losing all his teeth and breaking every bone in his face.
Been there done that, things can go wrong so fast, often with no reason
“Yup, am done for the day” he said
Reminds me of the "I love helmets!" video
Thank you, I am getting a face shield, the goggles are not enough now...
There would have been an undie change after that Sputnik 😂
