"I like the press release, but I'd prefer to read an honest critique of these G-Shock watches from an ID standpoint... They definitely look more "technical" but are they really more indestructible or functional than a Timex Ironman from 1990? "

"If you get chewed up by a jointer, it is very likely operator error and not some machine malfunction. The mechanics of using a jointer are that you push a piece of wood across a large spinning drum covered with blades. It is very dangerous if you do not know what you are doing, or even if you know what you are doing but are using unfamiliar equipment that may be improperly setup or not properly sharpened. What can happen is that the jointer is set to take too large of a cut on a small or light object  and when the operator tries to force the workpiece into the blades, the workpiece is kicked back and the operators hand which had been doing the pushing winds up in the cutter head. I have done this very thing and was lucky to have only lost a small piece of my fingertip, which eventually grew back. The best practice is to use push sticks or push pads (which are typically sold with a machine of this size) whenever possible so that if this happens the push stick gets eaten instead of your fingers..."

"You left out locking helicoils, lock plates (where a sheet of metal is inserted below the head of the bolt and a corner is bent up against a flat of the bolt head and down over the side of the flange to prevent the bolt from backing off), and the quick and dirty, but very effective tack weld.  "

"I think when you wrote "lathing" you mean turning... lathing is the process of applying lath (like in plaster walls)"
