I have fallen asleep sitting at my saw many many times .I started out just resting my eyes for a few seconds and ended up sawing logs and counting sheep.My hands were still in position and the saw still running with blade in wood and never messed up the project.This was back in 2006 to 2012 when i'd scroll my bee hind off day and night .How long i was asleep i've no idea.HAVE YOU DONE THIS TOO? :o

Good morning Kevin

 

Never fell asleep at the scroll saw but I've fallen asleep behind the wheel and recall waking up with telephone poles zooming by me and hearing horns honking. SCARY AS HELL. First and last time. Other than that I've and still do fall asleep watching T.V.

It all catchs up with you.Man those were the days of scroll like a fool .and on cheap scroll saws too.no wonder i went thru so many of them !I was in the scroll sawing groove ,another world ,my troubles were behind me.And i hand painted the names i gave away too over 800 names  4.5'' tall each letter 3'' wide  45 minutes a letter start to finish and triple clear coat ! 500 key chains,i was in a zone!Now i'm so backed up like i'm in reverse all the time ,i can't make head way.

I remember when I would drive a truck to a town 100 miles away at 3:30 am and I would be fighting sleep. I would loop my left hand over the air horn line and when I just started to doze off my arm would relax and the air horn would blast away. that wokd me really fast and I would pull into the next rest stop and catch about 15 minutes sleep and I was good to go

Wow! That sounds a bit scary for me.  I won't even run the saw when I'm tired and not feeling good. I have fallen asleep at the computer a time or two, but not at the saw. I stand when I scroll so if I get tired, I will turn off the saw and go sit down for awhile or continue what I was sawing the next day. I haven't worked much on the saw the last couple of days because of severe tooth problems. but maybe it'll be better after Thursday and then back at the saw. I may go home for a few days this weekend. Take care   Fay
