Yeppers, grabbing things that are falling is a natural instinct... In the shop, we learn that when you drop sometime, most times its better to try to get out of the way instead of stopping it. Once in a while you get lucky and catch it without inflicting more damage, but often times you end up missing and deflecting the piece across the shop and making it worse,,
Howard,
sorry to hear you are suffering travails,, rest assured, as you create, invent, and suffer through each of these "issues", it reduces the number of possible problems from infinite ,, to less than infinite,,,, slightly,, ( assuming of course we learn from them which is not always a given LOL)
