All are great rules to follow. I really appreciate rule 8. I don't forge too many knives currently, but I do forge up axes, hatchets, and other tools. I always forge it as if I'm going to be the one using it. 🍻

I'm going to need this lithographed on steel to hang in my shop. Wisdom of the ages.

I personally also have another rule too. Rule 13: An hour of prep and organizing will save week of labor. A days worth of organizing is worth a month’s labor. And a week’s worth of organizing will save a year of time.

I mean as far as rule 9 goes I would need to personally rephrase it, my willy has been in some questionable and dangerous places. Hell I probably would have been better off putting it in against a grinder than some of my exes. Those woman were 10x more dangerous than any tool, at least the tool could be turned off and ran away from.

A shop is much like Australian wildlife. Just because it probably can't kill you, doesn't mean it won't try.

So now that I told you about my restoration project I just want to say Thank You For Your Service! As a request I would love one your chilling out videos where you are working in your shop. I find that very relaxing. I am also a model railroader. One of my favorite hobbies.

I broke rule 12 once. Never in my life could I repeat the amount of bounces that wood took to my girlfriend's shin.

I feel like rolling this back around to military Skippy, but with less drunken Russian officers and mouse crucifixion. Here goes: Skippy's Rules Collection Rule 1 No dying, period. If you must die make sure the circumstances are beyond your control or you have written approval from your supervisor. Rule 2 Treat everything like it's alive and trying to kill you. Rule 3 Everything is always live or explosive. Rule 4 When involved in a process that absolutely requires your presence, never ever trust a fart. Rule 5 Never try to catch anything you drop. If what you dropped was a live grenade, you have 3 seconds to figure out how to deal with this problem. Rule 6 If anything you are going to do anywhere starts with “watch this”....Don't. Rule 7 No gloves around Rotary Equipment Rule 8 If Someone dies trusting equipment you serviced because it failed, their death is on you. Rule 9 Never put a body part where you wouldn't put your willy (a) Never put a body part where you would put your Willy on a dare. (b) Never put your body part where you would put a Willy if it were covered by the groin protection plate. (c) Never put a body part where you would not put your Willy if you had one. (d) Never put a body part where you would have to explain to someone why your willy is out, and in the location it is in. (e) never deem a willy location is acceptable if you feel you must have an STD screen after you place the willy, if the willy location is intoxicated or incapacitated, or if you are intoxicated. Rule 10 Safeties are always off, Machines, weapons, and explosives are always loaded primed or ready and mishaps are always in a state of readiness Rule 11 The ultimate expression of failure is not trying due to the fear of failure (a) this is not an excuse to ignore rule 1. Explore all options. Rule 12 No yeeting things where the yeet destination or the object yeeted will be destroyed without express approval of your supervisor. (a) if under contact, express approval is implied so long as it does not violate rule 1.
