Roy,

I consider the full face shield, respirator and hearing protection to be my most valued safety items in the shop.

Happy holidays to you my old friend.

The use of push stick and push pads on all my cutting of smaller pieces on the table saw and router table.

The 3.6 pounds of brain mass standing by at all times to help us THINK before we make a move. I have posted little signs on and near my machines, now that I'm a little older, and they simply say THINK!. Each time I make a cut, start a machine,begin a pass with the router I pause for just a second and think through what I am about to do. When using the table saw I have a little mental chant I use,which you may find silly, but it works for me. I simply think/say "teeth teeth teeth" meaning, don't reach for anything on the table until you can see TEETH of the saw blade.If I can SEE teeth, the blade isn't turning. Okay men.....thats it. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

Always wear you sight and hearing protection and keep small children away from powertools. And above all have a high reguard that your tools are very dangerous.
