Good advert here for those small Chinese inverters

She is gonna get arc eye!

She is gonna get arc eye!

That’s the problem with europeanised adverts,the Chinese model used in their local adverts has a built in welding safety squint….

Since its just a still photo, I find there's not enough information to form an opinion. I can't see any indication that the cutter is running or metal being cut, so one could also surmise that the photo is from an initial setup being performed.

As with anything in the media ,you should never let the truth interfere with a good story

She is gonna get arc eye!

From what I can see that would be the least of her problems.

They've taken all precautions because they've taken her workpiece away.

As well as the mains cable . Cannot be too careful.

Whilst I am not aware of the full circumstances in this case, at some point you have to take a little responsibility for your actions. Who exactly was holding the knife?

Bit like the woman (WOMAN, not child) who burned themselves with a coffee at Maccy D's and sued them over it because they didn't say "watch out - Hot! How else is fresh coffee served? On a lettuce?

I am not defending the teacher as the child should be properly supervised but!

In my day, (yes I know it’s an old saying. ) we boys usually had a penknife and had watched Dad makes things and use sharp tools. That doesn’t happen these days and I find kids don’t know anything except an IPhone or computer. Solutions that I find completely natural these kids and their Dads don’t seem to be able to fathom. When we first went to see my Daughter’s new school on an open night, I found a boy chiselling wood with a chisel and he was pushing the blade towards his open thumb and index finger. I asked who had taught him to do it that way and he said it was the teacher. I had a word, first with him then the teacher. Heading towards 75 it must be an age thing with me.

Surely to G** the parents are supposed to teach their offspring SOMETHING!!! i.e. Knives are sharp and can cut you. Fire is hot and can burn, Water is wet and can drown you , Jumping off of tall building is not really a good idea . I could go on,I usually do.

Wait till your Father gets home. Well it used to work but sometimes you can be hard pushed to find him!

Are you assuming their pronouns?

Cut towards your chum, not your thumb I was always told.

I clearly remember my own father telling me that.

Totally.
Like many here I suspect, I was given my first penknife aged 6, and soon learned it could cut me.
We all carried knives to school (boys anyway) and there were zero stabbings etc, because we were English children.
Things have altered dramatically since the 60's/70's, and now London schools have metal detectors, like airports, to prevent certain recently-arrived 'communities', quote unquote, from stabbing each other daily. I think this very unwelcome change in the culture surrounding knives and kids has made some British parents terrified of discussing them sensibly.

When I worked in the care sector I had these conversations many times with the 'old folk' who blamed the situation on the kids parents . If I pointed out that the rot had set in when the ,now, parents were not being taught the facts of life by their parents ,now grandparents, I would always be answered with a moments silence and then an embarrassed nod of the head. I get the feeling that we are all to busy to pass on what little skills we have . The exceptions are the lucky ones.

I must be one of those My grandfather was killed during ww2 and my father obviously grew up without him. My father in turn did not show me anything workshop related despite being an engineer himself. I taught myself what would hurt me and what would not in my mid 50's now with all digits intact and attached

same here mid 60 s self taught on most everything . no internet or google years ago just the odd few guys that would help you and watch everything that folks did on site no matter what age your still learning

I do count myself as a lucky one . My dad was a keen modeller all his life with both model railways and model aircraft . If I was a good kid I was allowed to treadle the small lathe and would spend hours just watching him . When he was at work I was allowed to use any tool around so long as it was replaced undamaged and as I found it.

...sometimes you can be hard pushed to find him!

Or even, in the absence of a DNA test, identify him .

This just popped up on my Facebook. A posed photo for WW2 women factory workers, about hair getting caught in machines.
Can you spot the mistake?
