Got out to the shed for the first time in ages (been busy with work, family, and the TWC assembly manual), and even that was a small window. Decided to tackle (at least start) a small project that I’ve been meaning to do for ages (since June 2008). Getting my router bits into this cabinet. [...]

Got an email about a tool survey from Fine Woodworking (most tools were either not in my workshop, or not in Australia, so I guess rather limited appeal for non-Americans when that Tool Review mag surfaces), and came across a sort of games/quiz section on their website. After playing around a little with “Spot the [...]

Had a good question asked by Calum about securing your shed, particularly given how expensive this hobby can be become “I recently found signs of prowlers around our house. This set off the alarm bells, how secure is my garage. How secure is the electronic garage door opener? Better put some bolts on the external [...]

Been a couple of rather productive days, which always feels good, recharges the batteries, keeps the electron population down and generally results in piles of sawdust! For those that have been asking – yes, the pen turning video (and CA finish) has been shot, and is “In-the-Can” as they say. Had a few successes, and [...]

Gary Rogowski (woodworker (insert a long list of relevant titles here) and star of a number of woodworking DVDs) makes a great point on his blog in a post titled “Habits for your Stupid Days“. As I replied to his post: Some great points there – I particularly like that you have formalised the whole [...]

I’ve been rather indecisive about this for a long time, and as mentioned in a video earlier in the year it is about time I got a bit more serious about safety (without buying a inflatable plastic ball to live in). One thing that I have long just accepted is air cleanliness, and have (on [...]

So that was safety week on the Wood Whisperer Network. Hope you got something out of it! It seems from reading around, it is the same mistakes being made over and over and over…..and over and ov… (alright, enough) What is it, that it takes a personal experience before we often will start doing the [...]

This is a topic I wanted to cover as part of the Safety Week 08 as a video, but I don’t have a good enough range of devices yet to really do the topic justice. So I’ll write a bit about it instead! What I’m talking about here are on-tool safety devices, and onces that [...]

As discussed in the previous post, I took a sound meter around the workshop to get an idea of the different machines and the amount of noise they generate. To qualify these figures, the machine in use was out-of-spec, so the readings should not be taken as gospel. A reading of 85dB or above means [...]

Noise in the Workshop. This is part of Safety Week 2008, and is a brief discussion about the noise produced by different machines in the workshop. Formats available: MPEG4 Video (.mp4), Flash Video (.flv) (Right-click, and select “Save Link As”) Best video quality is achieved by downloading then playing the mp4 version.

It’s been a bit of a day of swinging around heavy items single-handedly. Which I would hesitate to suggest would be quite typical for the majority of woodworkers out there (the single-handedness). Our hobby/passion/obsession is pretty much an individual pursuit – it is rare to have someone else in the workshop with you while you [...]

Introduction to Safety Week on the Wood Whisperer Network 2008 A quick introduction and discussion about personal safety equipment, not only using it, but ensuring that the solution actually works for you so that you actually use the equipment when needed, rather than leaving it sitting on the shelf as being too cumbersome or uncomfortable [...]
