Sanding on a lathe scares the shit out of me, even if I am just holding a folded piece of sand paper against the wood. I know it's relatively save to do and every fucker does it, but it's very unnerving to say the least

I went through a period where I watched a large amount of videos Adam made on his channel.
Every single time he was on the lathe or the mill, he was doing dangerous and stupid things.
I get that he isnt a machinist by trade, but he genuinely doesnt take his safety seriously with machine tools. I dont know if its hubris, or if its inexperience, but its there and its happening.

I remember saying to myself I expect him to seriously hurt himself with his machine tools.
Im happy he didnt lose his hand and forearm, but its not that surprising that it happened in the first place.

It's the same complacency we have with cars as well.
Car can easily fuck you and everything you love in seconds yet people think it's ok to drive around with balding tires Rusty brake lines.
The annoying thing is that even after a close call they still are complacent and think it won't happen to them.

And that was the first and last time I ever used a lathe. I don’t plan on going near it again until I’ve had some real instruction on how to use one. It was a boneheaded error, one I’m very lucky I didn’t get maimed by and I’m very well aware it was completely and entirely my own fault. Next time I’m going to treat that thing with a lot more respect.

>I don’t plan on going near it again until I’ve had some real instruction on how to use one

More YouTube, but your issue is less lack of instruction, more lack of experience. Removing the chuck key as your attention turns away from the chuck itself needs to be habitual. Doing a quick mental/visual check that you aren't wearing ANYTHING that might get caught (necklaces, long sleeves, jackets, bracelets, rings, hair, etc.) needs to be automatic. Glancing at the levers and knobs to maker sure there's no stupidity going on (like power feed is engaged at max speed right next to the chuck, ask me how I know this one...) should be second-nature.

Really, what you need is more time screwing with the lathe while someone keeps tabs on what you're doing. Especially if you refer to a chuck key as the "chuck jaw tightening tool".

Which I guess is sort of instruction...

I watched a 25 year old manchild who is literally older than me try and wipe off a RUNNING tap in a Bridgeport with a fucking shop rag, instead of just blowing the shit off. Of course it got caught, of course he was wearing gloves, and instead of letting go he grabbed on to the rag, leaned back and pulled with all his fucking might to risk his arm to try and save the fifteen cent shop rag. The tap was in a tapping head which uses a clutch when it meets resistance so when he pulled hard enough it just slipped so he didn't lose a fucking limb, but I don't understand how some people can be so old and so unbelievably mechanically retarded.

I used metal and wood lathes a lot in high school (which may as well be a million years ago now), we got fairly good instruction on how to use them and not kill ourselves.
>No ties, no watches, no rings, roll up your sleeves and basically check that anything spinning is going to be clear of obstructions
Which will see you through the worst they can do for the most part.
There was some spectacularly fucking metal accidents with band and table saws though! To the point that no one was allowed to use the table saw any more and the bandsaw was one of those things we had to do a written test on before being let loose on. It wasn't really our teachers fault either, we just had some really fucking dumb cunts that would have poked a light socket, jumped in the shallow end head first or wandered in front of a bus eventually.

I have an Atlas 12" lathe, its a medium to small hobbyist lathe.
Shortly after I got it, I left the key in the chuck and the amount of force it slammed that fucker not only scared me, but surprised me. Its still geared, its still running at these high RPMs, it can still maim or kill you. I gained a much stronger respect for lathes in general because of it.

And the worst part?
In the months prior to getting it, reading and researching how to use it, 2 things were hammered into every tutorial.
Dont leave the key in the chuck, dont have loose articles near the chuck or the leadscrew or anything that moves.
I knew better but did it anyways.

I went to a really small school so there were no catastrophic injuries other than a kid splitting his thumb really bad, or a few people getting hit real bad with kickbacks

I think some of the most loony tunes shit was probably the wood lathes, meatheads just going hard with a skew chisel, it sticks and gets thrown 15ft up in the air and either sticks in the roof or... comes down with everyone running like mad cunts as the table leg on 'too fast speed' rips itself to pieces and sends even more sharp objects all over the place. Our shops where actually quite good in the sense the teachers did give a shit, we had some really good tools like sheet metal brakes, anvils, forges, all manner of saws and mechanical stuff. My dad was a heavy vehicle mechanic so I had a bit of a lead on some others just in the practical and safety sense.

The table saw got the verbotten sticker after some dumbdumb a year above us managed to feed a finger into it and came away with it neatly sawn up to the 2nd knuckle. The band saw was pretty mad though, kid in the same class was feeding a bit of wood through it and decided it could go faster and fed the heel of his hand into it about a good 2 inches before deciding to pass out and off to hospital. That was 'meaty' to say the least!

My grandfathers a master woodturner of some repute. He's been the president of the North American Woodturners Association, been turning professionally for 80 years etc etc etc. But when he sands a piece on the lathe, nevermind not rolling he sleeves up, he actually rests his arm on the spinning workpiece, and it just spins under his flannel shirt as he sorta leans on it & sands with the other hand... if you look at his shirtsleeves, they've all slices through them where wood has burned through them. Imagine standing there watching someone do that. The suspense is just about enough to make me lose my fucking mind, cause you know eventually, one of these times...
