Dangers of safety

I cut some plywood for the replacement seat on this old wicker rocker (great chair but the previous owner had used a piece of wall paneling for the seat). All went well until I took my ear protection off. The head set was like a spring so when I removed it, it tried to jump out of my hand. In trying to catch it, I quickly moved my hand and rammed my finger into an edge of my face shield. The resulting scuff to my finger bled for a few minutes. NEVER AGAIN!
