Skipping stretches before detailing barrels wrecked my shoulder.

I used to think stretching was for gym rats, not gunsmiths. But after hunching over a lathe for hours, my back would SCREAM. Last month, I ignored the twinges and now I'm sidelined with a pinched nerve. Take it from me, your health IS part of the craft. A five-minute warm-up could save your career.

How many times did I laugh at the "safety first" guys before my body called in the bet? I mean, I used to just dive right into fitting actions, all twisted up like a pretzel. Now my knee sounds like a popcorn machine. Maybe it's just me but learning that lesson the hard way really takes the fun out of being stubborn.
