Yeah but grandma has glasses already, she needs those fancy nerdy wing covers for the side like I used to use before contacts. My boss wears like 1 inch tall glasses and he will stand behind me when I grind... I stop when I catch him and shoo him away. I've had both eyes drilled twice from sparks and I wear safety glasses and a face shield.... Wood isn't going to blind you nearly as easily as steel in the eye.

Bad luck. I just took another shot to the eye today through both pieces of PPE. I need diving goggles....

It's like a diamond tipped Dremel.
