Man John I just ate now I'm all queezy. Good thing I don't do that to members here by putting my pic up. There would be a decline in membership that is for sure.

To keep safety in mind, a point I picked out of the photo I posted was, "my saw blade is up",,,, not very wise of me.

Using the tools I was using does not make it a safe practice. Hum!

I also have a fire extinguisher, at the house entrance to the shop.

My power to my shop is also controlled by one breaker.

Be wary and be wise.

HI John

Talking about fire extinguishers I have 4 of them on the outside of the shop and 3 insdie the shop and two more hanging on the back side of the house and one or two in the front of the house I could go on and on about fire extinguishers ,,to me it's like having auto insurance when you need it you need it now ...some will say that's a bit over kill, well not to me, fires takes what it's wants and doesn't ask if you are ready opr not ...

Power to my shop is on it's own drop from the pole and it's own meter and a main breaker is on the outside of the shop but I also have a 100amp breaker panel inside the shop....the meter makes it nice to come up what it cost me to do a big job...that's becoming a big part of doing a job now days...true cost...


Just a note John the blade,, You should not use your table saw for a work bench LOL LOL I saw that in one of your snapshots and I almost had a heart attack John it's time to build a work bench ...

But it's good ideal to move the blade after using it down but most don't but most don't use the table saw for a work bench,now and then I see others do it also now and then...

Howdy Doyle here with a question.
I have a Grizzly dust collector with clear accordion type hose with a gate near each machine and workbench. I have tried to find out if it is necessary to run a grounding wire. Some say yes and some say no. What is the consensus - looking for opinions, should I install a ground wire?
Take care
Doyle

Hi Bob

You have more fire extinguisters than a dog has fleas. I guess I could use another one or two. Hum! I made a note.

BTW. I have two tables and for some reason my saw gets thrown into the "work bench role" as well, at times. It is the flattest surface in the shop.

I wonder if the better half will give up more house space, "NOT".

A defib machine by the computer in case I show the table saw as a table again. Now that is a safety tip.

Thanks Bob, point well taken.
John

I'm not going to pretend to be an expert here, but I tend to err on the side of caution in situations like this. I've also been told that it's not necessary to run the ground inside the pipe, to just wrap it around the outside. That never made sense to me so it goes inside.

"yes that is me with no shirt.

It was hot,"


Heat is not my excuse for running around stripped to the waist, this is the middle of our winter, no, the excuse (reason) is that clothing aggravates the shingles now in it's 18th week and I agree, it's not a pretty sight!

Thanks everyone for all the kind comments. I just returned from a vacation in Key West, Florida (just down the road for me- ~4 hours) and I didn't wear a shirt too often. A SPF 15 coating was the safety rule while there. Next time it'll be SPF 25 for obvious reasons! Very intense sun in the Keys. I caught up on my woodworking reading, picked some fresh coconuts, ate way too much and visited way too many drinking establishments. Thinking safety all the while!
