Yeah fair point about doing yourself a mischief while alone with a load of very sharp knives. I think the same about my SRs and kitchen knives, but I think although a cut throat at the neck is a hazardous occupation (at least until after the first coffee of the day), cutting wood does mean you build up a fair amount of pressure, which if the blade then slips is apt to cause pretty serious injury, which is not ideal if you're on your own.
Mind you I am also here alone most of the time and I did once try to do some fault finding on my immersion heater with a multimeter during Economy 7 hours, in a state of relative déshabillé let's say. I shorted L to earth and nearly gave myself a heart attack, then realised that if I had gone "brown to brown and blue to bits" nobody would've found me for days. Would have given the coroner a laugh I suppose. Won't do that again
