    "Fire in the Hole" - Safety Tip

    Today I was at my son's shop. He was going to use his cutting torch to cut some rusty bolts off a piece of equipment I am reworking for garden rows. Before we got started cutting we had to get some hand tools off his workbench. Note: He doesn't keep a neat workbench. There were loose...

    Miter Saw Mishap : WEAR SAFETY GLASSES

    I bought a new Freud Avanti 12" thin kerf blade yesterday from Klingspore. On the fourth cut the blade abruptly plowed into the saw itself throwing metal shavings toward my face which cut my nose, check and embeded into my lip and neck. The injuries were like scratches but I hate to think what...

    EyeArmor OverRx Safety Glasses

    I've mentioned these a few times and saw that Duluth Trading now has them for $22.50. I have been using a pair for about a year and really like the fit and the protection after trying the bifocal safety glasses which gave me headaches and eystrain. My regular glasses are progressive lenses and...

    Safety and haste

    Tonight we went to Walgreens and were waiting for a prescription when a guy came up from behind and asked to cut in line when the Pharmacist came out. I looked down at his hand and there was a nail sticking out of his finger. He wanted to know if it was through the bone. I was an EMT/ fireman in...

    Safety Glasses

    I'm getting a little long in the tooth & now need a mild drugstore set of glasses (actually Goodwill) to see close work. Does anyone out there have as source on safety glasses that also magnify? I'd like to find some in tempered glass instead of plastic because they scratch up too easy.

    Safety is an Attitude-Get One!

    I am happy to see this new Forum get started. We often forget that the woodworking equipment and hand tools can cause us terrible injuries.

    great prescription safety glasses

    Just thought I share these special bifocals, for those of us who need such things in order to see and be safe too. My optician made me a pair of "electrician's" bifocals with a close up lens at the bottom and top of my large safety glasses. Now when I need to look up or under a piece of...
