Things I Learned Today in the Shop #1: Today I Learned Three Things

Hey David
I always wondered why that saw dust wouldnt blow away and my safety glasses fogged up at the same time

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

As a matter of habit, I find that I will try to blow away dust while wearing a dust mask. I am aways glad no one is around to see my feeble effort.

It’s great to be in the shop by myself!

since i dont have that fancy resaw stuff i always make a pathway ( rip ) ,
with the tablesaw , and the rip fence on both edjes of my board .
this i follow with the bandsaw .
if the bandsaw is cutting goffy , i can feel it and adjust my angle freehand .most of the time i dont even use the rip guide .
most of the time i dont have that problem ,
as it is usualy called 2×4 pine ,
or particle board !

Yeppers, you learned what many of us already knew…................LOL

-- Jerry--A man can never have enough tools or clamps

cant blow the sawdust? you must be doing something wrong – practice practice practice!

LOL.

-- When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route.

Note to self: don’t try to blow sawdust with dust mask or respirator on.

So that’s why it doesn’t work! – I learn something new every day here on LJ!

You need one of those small personal fans for that. You clip them on your shirt color and they help keep your head cool( so they say) Just have to hook it on a pocet and have it blow for you! haha

On the fancy wood: When I get wood from pallets no one there to tell me what it is. I rellie on help from all of you in identifying it. Or I take small pieces to my local store and hope they know.

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

LOL – I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to blow off sawdust with a dust mask on.
