Re: Prayers requested ...

I hate sawmill accidents!

As a career mill supervisor and general foreman/mill manager I've seen a few and been involved in a few. In a sawmill there are so many opportunities to get in trouble with moving blades and chains and conveyors, etc and none of them are very forgiving.

I always strictly enforced all safety rules and regulations for no other reason than I hated to deal with the results of a mistake.

I wish your friend well.

Re: Prayers requested ...

A friend of mine has a pair of circular mill blades sitting outside of a large workshop that he has. He used to rip his own lumber with them. Many times, I have looked at them and thought to myself, how much damage they could do in an instant.

My thoughts are with your friend for a speedy recovery and my thanks are directed to the folks that work with such equipment, on a daily basis. Its gets very easy to forget them, when we run down to the local lumber yard to pick up some "two bys" or other lumber products. It all looks so simple and neat on the shelves and we don't think about what it takes for them to get that way.

Great point, so many dangerous things done behind the scene's that we all
take for granted.

Hope your friend is ok. Said a prayer for him and his family and his co-workers.
