Hi Ed

I guess I should not call it a stick,, I was not to sure how to spell it..

It's my daughters proboscises that she had when she was 3 years, the hook type, and I did rework it a bit with some threaded rod so I could use it to pick off items off the top shelf...I use it all the time and it hangs just over the RAS all the time..

Hi John. Is this the one you were looking at: Step ladder ?

I have this one, and it's great for both the shop and house. Sturdy, not too tall, and a large platform to stand on instead of just a ladder rung.

Hope you heal fast.

Brian

That one should be OK. What I like about the one I have is that it has a rail around the top to steady myself against, and it also has a small tray/platform that folds out flat to put tools etc on until you need them.

I'm a bit partial to the "little Giant" but, not to partial to the price tag it has. So, I use regular folding step ladders.

I never thought of the benifits of a rail or the tool rest. Maybe a suit of armour and a sky hook as well! These 60 year old bones do not look favourable on breaks and fractures. I will check things out when I get a chance to do some shopping.

Have a great day!

Your story came at a good time John, in recent times I've become rather blase' when it comes to safety, but after three recent "incidents" together with your reminder, I intend to pay far more attention where safety is concerned. Get well soon.

Thanks Harry
I am sure I still have some "not to safe habits" hanging around the shop waiting for my return, but I surely will review my workshop habits.
A friend of mine always tells me "things happen for a reason" I am just hoping this happened to refresh memory on my workshop habits and not punish me for the past mistakes I got away with! (those close calls) We all know the ones
Have a great woodworking day!
John

Safety is needed everywhere. Especially in work shops, people tend to work harder and the environment should be in a better way poised. You cannot try your fortunes in the workshop. It may cost your life. Prevention is always better than cure. So we must learn how to prevent ourself. Safety is first measure that has to be taken care before we start our business to do.
