Many will find that what I do in my shop is time consuming, redundant, crazy (stupid), non-productive and overall a PITA when working on something. So be it. I’ve implemented a few procedures to keep ME safe for the following reason. I live alone and work alone in my shop. The shop is very small and cramped. Should I be hurt, there won’t be anyone around to help pick me or my parts off the floor. A dramatic statement but I do think about these things. You may not believe it but I follow my rules. They do slow things down. I’m not afraid of my tools but I have great respect for them. They are obedient and will cut exactly what I tell them to, wood or fingers.
