Working alone, I'm always paranoid about cutting my hand off with the saw and bleeding out and dying
For me, it's digging into a stack of sheet materials leaning against a wall that gets dangerous (aluminum, acm, acrylic, the heavy stuff). As long as you just pull them back far enough to stand on edge, you're great. If you lean them towards you, they'll usually slowly overpower you. I've seen a 300lb man get pinned as he insists he can handle the weight. The one that got me recently, I have a new guy, 5' tall and maybe 120lbs, he try to lean 18 sheets of lexan backwards for something behind, and they all came down on him. Luckily lexan is flexible enough that all that weight wasn't on him, but I heard a noise, ignored it for a second, then on second thought I jogged out to see him stuck there, trying to come up with a way to get out... without calling for help.

Sorry for reviving this thread. Anyone tried CBD for managing their pain, if any? Just a thought that crossed my mind and interesting to find what you guys think about it.
I've used it topically - creams. It sorta works - but that may just be a placebo effect. Not sure.

Comes in handy when putting up ADA room identifiers.
We just did 'room identifiers' at a behavioral health wing at the hospital. Typically we go ADA, raised copy, braille, the whole 9 yards. This one we were asked to do vinyl above the doors. My vinyl girl goes and locates each door with the contact at the hospital, who then leaves her in the ward. As she is installing, a patient is going around moving numbers on her, trying to 'help' her keep the numbers straight. She had to get a nurse to lock him up to keep her own sanity. Come to find out, they can have an exception to ADA, where the sign may be a liability, like a patient ripping them off the wall to, idk, maim somebody or put it in a different place. That's why we had vinyl only above the doors.

sounds like a fun place to do installs, and a good place to meet girls.

Yeah, bet your opening lines would be great in that place.

I have arthritis and take cannabis for it. CBD is more natural and doesn't have the negative effects of the painkillers.

Also, medical cannabis arthritis treatments have received positive feedback from patients with notable benefits, including improved sleep, reduction in pain and inflammation, and an improved quality of life.

I like making signs
A friend of my parents (70 yrs old) has been using it for years and swears by it, he got my mom using it for her knee and it worked for her. He had been in a bad truck accident in his 50's so he has arthritis and random aches and pains. He uses it in conjunction with working out daily to keep everything moving vs. pain meds.
