On Tuesday's local morning TV news I first heard of this and there has only been brief mention of details in respect of the family in the Hamilton Spectator paper. A 52 year old Waterdown, Ontario man was fatally injured working at his lathe on Monday afternoon. Waterdown is a town within the amalgamated city of Hamilton,at the western end of Lake Ontario. The article in our local paper today says he was struck by a piece of wood. http://www.flamboroughreview.com/news/article/267516 A pretty solemn reminder to have correct safety gear and wear it and use safe turning practises. Also that clubs and guilds keep hammering on the aspects of safety at every opportunity. If you haven't looked at them for a while, take a moment now to review the AAW guidelines. http://www.woodturner.org/resources/safety.cfm
