Dont try this at home folks

In order to save time and effort in carving the radius for the join between neck and pot i decided to build myself a drum sander, using a router mounted upside down onto a work bench.


Unfortunately something went amiss and as soon as i switched it on the drum shot out and hit me clean between the eyes.


This photo was taken just after i stemmed the flow of blood...

and just before the swelling began making me look like Davros


With aching head and blurry vision i set too to have another go. This time setting the router to its slowest setting... all seemed good for about 10 seconds then it started speeding up of its own accord to full speed causing Davros to panic and run for the plug... Thanks for the cheap as chips Aldi router... i should have known better.
