What an enviable set-up you have in your shop Jim. and all these safety tips should perhaps be kept as a sticky for all newcomers to see, and of course as a reminder to everyone one else.

Thank you for the safety post Jim.
I keep my machines unplugged when not in use. After seeing your post I will incorporate the dowels to my switches also. One can never be to safe as machines are always waiting for the slightest mistake. I have two fire extinguishers in my shop, one at each door. After seeing BJs post and photo I believe I will put a larger one outside of the shop. I don't have a cell phone.
Take care
Doyle

Here’s an important safety tip.
Distraction !
Install a red light outside the shop.
Have a sign outside that says don’t enter or don’t knock on the door when light is red.

Many good ideas here, but personal safety goes much further. Visitors to my shop walk through the door to find safety glasses, ear plugs and dust masks. These are all cheap and nobody ever was hurt by using them. I am down to one pair of ear plugs so it is time for a trip to the store. I'm hoping this idea catches on.

If I did that I'd be the talk of the neighbourhood!

A red light I thought we were talking woodworking. Not a bordello. Harry don't they already talk about you running around with no shirt on.

Check twice!

I just can't sit back, this was taken over the weekend, and yes that is me with no shirt.

It was hot,,,,,, and I can say, when I was finished I looked like a coal miner, after a shift.

Go and chuckle, that ain't that pretty.

Well John,

That isn't a pretty picture but your projects are.....and on this forum, that's what counts...actually, the fun in making them is what counts and the fellowship here. Also, whether they turn out beautiful or not, that is also what counts....the effort, the learning, etc. BUT.....please put your shirt back on.
