    A clean shop is a safe shop

    I was tuning up a couple old planes tonight. Took them apart, got the worst of the surface rust off the iron with sandpaper and #0000 steel wool, then over to my grinder to reshape the edge...shooting sparks directly onto the oily steel wool I'd carelessly left on the corner of the bench, which...

    How safe for unexperienced?

    After reading all those accidents and near misses I am a little uneasy about finishing my tool collecting and firing them up. How paranoid should I be that I am going to lose part or all of a finger or worse? Are there any statistics for that? I wonder if my home owners covers that? Jared

    Lacquer a safe finish to eat off of?

    Quick question. I am planning to finish some bowls with lacquer for aesthetic reasons and am wondering if that is safe to eat or drink off of or is there anything to do to make it safe? Thanks very much, Jim Lee

    Tung Oil - Food safe?

    I've made a few bamboo kitchen utensils and plan to "field test" them to see if they hold up well enough to be worth selling cheap to friends, co-workers, etc... I'd like to put a least some type of finish on them to keep the grain sealed so it doesn't rise when washed. I have tung oil; is that...

    Food safe finish

    I have a Spalted Maple goblet that I just finished turning on my lathe and I want to have the choice to actually drink out of it. What type of finish do you suggest that I use that will seal the wood from liquids and make it safe to drink out of? Here is a picture of the unfinished goblet.

    a food safe finish

    For food safe items...bowls spoons etc I have read walnut oil and or mineral oil can be used. Are these the best and or only choices? I made an ice cream scoop and used a two part epoxy to hold the metal to the wood and used danish oil and wipe on polyurethan on the handle. I don't think that...

    Food safe finish

    I am making some honey dippers for a potter friend of mine. The obvious finishs I ca think of would be mineral oil, or bees wax. The problem is the grooves of the honey dippers are a bear to finish. Most of my work is finished with a mix of BLO, turpentine, and bees wax. Not something I...

    Safe shop practice...

    I wanted to pass on my habit. I use ear and eye protection all the time. I make it a point to return them to the same place after each use. After I setup for an operation, I make a slow deliberate walk across the shop to put on the safety gear. This "calms" me down and I feel much more...

    What are food safe finishes?

    What are safe finishes for bowls / cups that will hold edible liquids? I know that mineral oil would probably be ok (rec'd for cutting boards). However, how does it stand up if submerged? Most of the plain oil finishes rate fairly poorly in water resistance in the reviews I have read. Also...
