Just for giggles try a pare of shooters gloves they are a good quality leather and the have the trigger finger removed. It's a narrow field of vision but it works in some situations.

Oh maybe get a comfortable pair of leather gloves. Makes it rough for us to see, but gloves are almost a must... ----- Original Message ----- From: robert moore To: Blind Handyman Sent: Monday, December 10, 2007 6:44 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] My 2 cents about safety I am not an authority on safety but this is my 2 cents worth. Concerning chainsaws or any other potentially dangerous piece of equipment. Lets start with the assumption you know the proper use and technique for the tool. The bottom line as it relates to blind VS sighted is this. If any one gets hurt it is the same for sighted or blind alike. I think there are 3 root causes for any injury. First you are doing some thing stupid and or not paying attention. Second the element of the unknown, such as a piece of mettle in the wood that is completely concealed. Making it impossible for the sighted and blind alike to know it is there. And finally equipment failure. Even if the tool appears to be in working condition there is always the unexpected failure that cannot be anticipated. If any one wants to take issue or add to any of these points, please do. I am very safety conscious and any further comments on this topic I will not take offence to. Thanks for letting me rant.
