Not to mention that those pieces that pop out when cutting dovetails can roll underfoot or cause you to twist your ankle!
Those little pieces always get me. Then they bite again when I lose them in the shavings and they get sucked into the dust collector making a god awful racket as they hit the fan.
Not to mention, if you drop your joint on the pile of shavings you could start a fire!
