My wood shop ####up was on one of those big stand-up belt sanders. Grade 10, I was sanding a small piece of wood and eventually it got thin enough to shoot between the gap of the table and the sanding belt, which meant my fingers hit the belt full speed. Ended up completely losing the nails on 2 fingers on each hand, and I can still tell which ones they are because the nail grows different than the rest. Never touched a belt sander since
