Yes...I had been making french fries...and spilled the whole pot of oil on the kitchen floor and it splattered over everything. The bad part was we had company coming right at that time...and we couldn't get it cleaned up...The floor was slick and we couldn't walk. So we had the birthday party with a kitchen floor covered with towels. Or like the night before last I was pouring boiling water off my lasagna noodles. I was standing belly up to the sink and the boiling water poured out over the edge of the sink and burned a large place on my belly. It was covered with blisters but most of them have gone down now. Now it is just hot pink and brown. ouchy. patti

A few years ago I went to the ER with a deep, clean cut on my left index finger, almost to the bone. while I was quickly cutting a huge number of strips for several quilts. They super glued it closed and afterwards, when I reported my mishap on this forum, several members recommended Klutz gloves. I really try to use one on my left hand, especially if I am tired or cutting lots of strips. The gloves have rubber nubs that help you grip rulers. I think it is well worth the cost IF you remember to put it on.

There are a lot of options for French country chairs like this, but most will come with simple light beige/off-white seat covers. If cost is not a big issue, you could reupholster in exactly the color fabric you want. Here is one I did find with light blue seat covers: https://www.target.com/p/set-of-2-epworth-wooden-dining-chairs-light-blue-christopher-knight-home/-/A-80044133 To find this, I posted your photo on Pinterest to look for similar.

Nine foot ceilings and the 38-degree beam spread 'the OP mentioned 'dilute' the intensity of the light hitting the counter work zone area as you focus to sculpt a radish. 450 lumens minimum for task lighting. AI- Standard Lux Levels for Kitchen Counters General Countertop Use: 300–500 lux is the standard range for basic serving, washing up, and routine tasks. Food Preparation & Cooking: For higher-precision tasks like chopping or reading recipes, a level of 500–750 lux is recommended. Professional/High-Precision Work: In commercial kitchens or for very detailed residential tasks, levels can reach 750–1,000 lux. 1. Conversion Using Square Meters (m2m squared𝑚2) One lux is exactly one lumen per square meter (1 lx=1 lm/m21 lx equals 1 lm / m squared1 lx=1 lm/𝑚2). General Use (300 lux): Requires 300 lumens per m2m squared𝑚2. Food Preparation (750 lux): Requires 750 lumens per m2m squared𝑚2. Precision Tasks (1,000 lux): Requires 1,000 lumens per m2m squared𝑚2. Intensity Requirements for Surgery Central Illuminance (Eccap E sub c𝐸𝑐): The light must provide between 40,000 and 160,000 lux at the center of the light field. Typical Usage: Most modern surgical suites aim for 100,000 to 160,000 lux to ensure maximum clarity and detail within deep body cavities, which absorb more light than surface wounds. Shadow Control: Higher intensities are used specifically because they allow for "shadow dilution." By using multiple light heads or large LED arrays, the system ensures that the surgeon’s head or hands do not block the light reaching the patient. A headlight source can be used. You could use a camping headlight or try the 700 lumen output lights from Lowes. Narrow spot, wide spot and flood bulb configurations will have an impact.
