LOL, Paul. I know the guy you are quoting well. It is I. But my family knows me better.
If you ain't breakin' you ain't makin. I've broken a few or a hundred or so in 23 years of doing this stuff. Jawge

Never let common sense or caution get in your way, get back on the shop and make shavings!

That's my philosophy!  There's been a constant layer of sawdust and wood shavings on my garage floor for over a year now.  The only reason i sweep is to make room for more!!  ::)

As for caution, if we had too much of that we'd still be living in caves, walking everywhere, and eating nothing but veggies and nuts! :laugh:

Sorry bout your hand though, if you're like the rest of us you'll be back at it long before the healing's done! >:D

"If you ain't breakin' you ain't makin. "  A Jawge-ism for sure!

For me, it is the process, it's the feel of a sharp tool under my hands and the response it gets from the wood.  It's how every different kind of wood responds differently.  How the incredible idea you may start with is not what you end up with and you are pleasantly surprised.  It's especially the look on someone's hands when after they have shot a bow you just finished and you tell 'em to keep it.  No.  Really.  Keep it. 

And it's the breakin', too.   >:D
