I remember as a child, my parents did a lot of woodworking projects. I hated every minute of it, from going to the very boring and hot lumber store, to when they would fire up the power saws and start to work.
It was the loudness of them that bothered me the most, but I was also very afraid that they would hurt themselves with the power tools. That fear has carried with me as an adult. Seems I’m not alone.
Is there a term for this. A fear of rain is Ombrophobia. Pogonophobia- Fear of beards. What is fear of powertool?
I think thats a really interesting post. I am have always loathed DIY and no I think it might be because of fear. My Dad did loads when I was a child and the noise used to scare me to death!
