Don’t do what I did. I took a shortcut on the lathe and it was hazardous. It could have been worse, but fortunately I was wearing protective gear. If there’s one thing to take away from this video, it is to always wear your protective gear. Things can happen in the blink of an eye. This explosion was so quick that even the 4K cameras struggled to capture it.

The setting is at our woodworking shop at our homestead.
