Looks like a decent hobby mill you have there Charlie ..... but you really shouldn't go barefoot in a machine shop! 

Ouch!!!    ;c)

I was just taking pictures.

I didn’t notice that my ugly foot got in the picture until you mentioned it. :)

Nothing especially ugly about your foot Charlie, but I just had to wince thinking of a nice sharp curved chip piercing the bottom of your foot and how much fun that would be getting it back out.

I diligently sweep the floor around my machine tools after every use, but still find nasty little sharp chips around on the floor, and other places you wouldn't really expect, afterwards.

For that matter, I always remove and check the bottom of my shoes and other clothing before reentering the house, as should any of those nasty little chips get into the carpeting then into my Lady's foot, I'd certainly have to be looking for a new place to live!!!
