Kudos for reminding us of the hazards in our workshops. I have been fortunate that I have not had a serious accident, but I have had my share of close calls from carelessness, shortcuts, and for just not knowing any better. We all need to be reminded of the dangers every time we step into our shops, we form bad habits, we think it can’t happen to us, and sometimes we just plain and simply don’t think about it. I have been a manufacturing supervisor for 23 years and I have always encouraged safety first and I feel I do a pretty good job of practicing what I preach. But, I to get careless far more than I like to admit. None of us are safe from our own inability to think safety at all times. We can never be too careful in the workshop and we really need to think about this all the time or we may not be returning to our beloved shops tomorrow.

Skeezics: I know that had to smart a bit and I really appreciate you reminding us of the dangers we face every time we go to work on our next masterpiece.

Thanks again,
Doug
