HA ... you make a good point Fred ... you wouldn't believe the wood and tools I've kept over the years that have eventually come in very handy!

It looks like you still have all your fingers.
Steps--like that first pic--are tremendously exciting. Steve |

That is some delicate work there, the ripping photo does look sketchy!!! You build and play to well to have any issues there!

In the pursuit of folks not thinking I'm TOO much of a cowboy when it comes to shop safety ... here's a closer shot of me ripping the 1mm koa purfling strips on my table saw. The little fret-saw blade is just a blur, but is an inch and a half in front of my left hand. The left hand is not moving, just pushing the wood against the fence (while my right pushes the strip of koa forward well back of the blade).

How did people do this before magnifying goggles were invented? (My solution would have been to get my eye about two inches away from my work - but then I would have needed some very tiny chisels!)

People did not expect perfection back then?

I'll bet you'd get different viewpoints on either side of that statement Fred ... but I know what you mean!
