    One Second for Safety! - table saw

    So, in another thread I mentioned how I keep a couple dozen Safety Glasses positioned around my home. The idea being that having a pair within arms length, will make it less likely that I will undertake a “one-second task” without wearing protective eyewear. Here’s a photo from a couple years...

    Safety Reminder - Power Tools and Being Tired Don't Mix

    Guys/Gals, Just wanted to remind everyone to be safe and respect your tools. I got bit last night by my bandsaw. It was my fault I was doing something I really shouldn't have been. Being tired didn't help and honestly impaired my judgement. Thankfully my thumb is still in one piece...

    CPSC Safety Reminder

    The CPSC has issued a safety reminder regarding fireworks usage. This is a subject dear to my heart because of an incident that happened when my girls were young. We had purchased a canvas topped pop-up trailer and for it's first use we had set it up in the back yard for the girls to sleep in...

    RAS - Basic safety procedures

    Just picked this up from CraigsList. Holding the handle with the right hand, there is the advantage of seeing the cut being made and using, if necessary, my stronger arm to control any lurching forward of the blade. Disadvantage is the blade is aimed at my right boob. Holding the handle with...

    Review - new safety glasses

    About 4 weeks ago I had cataract surgery on my "second" eye and the results are good. Both eyes are now corrected with lens implants to give me good distance vision without glasses although I will need external correction for close work. This means that I can finally purchase low cost safety...

    Safety glasses

    I need to wear glasses for reading so I naturally wear them full time in the shop. I have been kidding myself that my readers are safe enough. Every time I see an ad for safety reader glasses they always seem to be bifocal. Can't do bifocal, They give me headaches and blurred vision. I am...

    Prescription safety glasses. Updated/purchased

    Since I had Lasik at the beginning of the year and opted for mono correction, my Wood Craft magnifying safety glasses don't cut it any longer so I'm looking to get some prescription ones that will suit my needs. I found this thread from 2008, but was wondering if anyone had any recent...

    Heating Season Safety (close call)

    Susan (Bkind2Anmls) recently started a thread which contained a poll about our shop heating methods. Looking at that poll I saw that a lot of us use open flames as a heat source. Yesterday my daughter called me from CT to check and make sure I had a CO detector in my house since one of her...
