Ken,

I’m not on Face book and can’t log in. Can you post a public link.

Greetings to the group,

?

I wanted to weigh in on this thread about machine shops, lathes, etc.? As a farm kid who grew up around shop equipment and exposed PTO (power take off) shafts on tractors, I gained a lot of respect for moving equipment.?

?

I’m not sure if this posted link will work for the rest of the group, but I thought it worth sharing as it is relevant to the discussion.? I just got this from an old high school buddy back in the farm country of Nebraska, although given the clothing in the video, I suspect it was likely in an oil field in the hinterlands of somewhere north.

?

?? ***WARNING*** !!? Graphic Content!!? As gruesome as this video is, I think it should be shown as required training in every machine shop, and even every high school shop class as to what damage an operating machine can produce.

Sorry if this upsets anyone, but it is a somber reminder of the power of equipment designed to easily cut and machine big metal parts.? A human body is a trifle to these machines.
