Isn’t it super dangerous to wear gloves when working with a circular saw? I heard that if it gets stuck in the saw the damage could be far worse than if you were bare handed. Not meaning to criticise, just worried about you! Stay safe plz :)
But otherwise yea that’s a big nodule, beautiful colours too!

Yes in most cases this is true. In fact I can attest to it in real life, my Dad lost part of one of his fingers to a drill press while wearing gloves. There's two reasons that make it ok in this situation (in my opinion that is): 1) Rock saws don't have jagged teeth like a wood saw that will catch a glove and pull it into the saw. 2) these gloves are thin enough that they would just rip before pulling my fingers into the rotation. Even with the above mitigating circumstances yes in a perfect world I wouldn't be wearing gloves, but as I've mentioned in other posts I work with rocks all day everyday and if I don't wear gloves the rock slurry just dries my hands out until they crack and are incredibly painful. Oh and lastly, if you're not familiar with rock saws the blades are actually smooth metal impregnated with diamond. Meaning that even if my finger did brush up on the blade for a second the worst it would probably do is give me a bad burn (much safer than a wood saw).
