I follow Router Forums on Facebook (not here to discuss the pros and cons of Facebook, so don't even go there).
Saw a post today in reference to an article regarding "best shop safety practices. Appears the individual the picture is using a jointer - she's wearing safety glasses, ear muffs and gloves - great. But........
Her hair is hanging down and she's not using push blocks. In fact, looks like she's got a finger and a thumb hanging over the edge of the board. Surely at some point she's going to missing a couple of digits when she makes contact with the cutters.
You would think that if you're going to post an article on "shop safety", the least you could do is a little homework before including such an egregious picture.
Don't the folks that come up with these articles and photos pay any attention to what's actually going on, or have they never been around sharp spinny things?
Geez
