You do have a good point here. I had a toddler over and she was enamoured with the pretty yellow tool with the black disc. Luckily it was locked. I now close and lock my sewing area when children are about.

I am all for harvesting one's own meat but they could keep the table and I would be shopping for a new one for myself. You handled much better than I ever would have. Yes I would put a lock on the door or ask if there was anything else they needed so you could make alist and replace with upgrades, immediately. Kind of like the commercial where the dad cleaned fish on the kitchen table or fixed the toilet and let the plunger and other parts rest on the table. Or changed the babies diaper on the kitchen table.

I'd kill him! He needs to learn boundaries.

Makes me think of those Clorox Wipes commercials where the wife walks in on her husband changing the baby on the kitchen counter.

YIKES!! Hope there was any foul odor from the butchering. I think it is great that hunters do use the meat if they kill an animal.

1. Someone needs to learn respect
2. I can't afford Gingher or Clover scissors all over the house
3. You are a saint

On the BRIGHT side:They didn't use your cutting mat or your large rotary cutter! LOL You are going to have to have a talk with them about the difference in cutting and butchering. Thank you for sharing, you've made my day

I would get a new table. I would never again feel it was clean. I would not have handled it well at all. Stay away from my stuff.
