I am sure I am not the only one who carries a portable phone handset to the
garage shop.

I recommend not laying the handset on the belt of your belt/disk sander
station - especially if the switch was inadvertently turned on while the
machine was unplugged.

Just a thought. No particular reason.

Damn!

I know a person (very well, in fact) who did the same trick with one of
those divided boxes filled with different sizes of woodscrews. This person
was very upset.

Hmm reminds of a time I plugged in the belt sander (hand) and it was still
in the locked on position and was on a 20' extension cord... Duh

So what was your time in the twenty?

Gosh. After these posts - I feel better. I thought I was the only one who
did things like this!

By the way, the phone survived in fine shape with a few sander scuffs.
After some sanding in place on the belt it shot it up against the stop, flew
up into the air, bounced off of a wire frame shelf and almost landed in my
hand. No, I am not that coordinated. Just lucky.

Ron that's the reason I have a safety on my lathe that if the power has
been interrupted in any which way it will not start up if you would plug
it back in or turn it back on while it is in forward of reverse mode, I
have to turn of the power switch then set the lathe switch to neutral
and then turn the power back on, seems awkward but it done quick and it
is safe that way.
No I do not have that on my sander, I don't have or want a cell or porta
phone, when I'm turning I don't answer phones, LOML will do that and if
it ever is for me I do get informed, (they can never leave me alone (G)

Have fun and take care

Every wonder what would happen if you put your jointer knives in backwards,
but were too timid to try it.

Well, it makes setup real difficult and doesn't leave a good edge.

My bowl lathe uses a wrench to hold the spindle while undoing the face
plate. Remove the wrench before turning on the lathe. Remove the wrench
before turning on the lathe. Remove the wrench before turning on the

Same for a straight-cutting shaper bit.

My father years ago was cutting wood with a power saw, all of a sudden
the saw stopped, he turned round to blast us kids when he noticed that
the power cord of the saw was about 4 inches long.
How the hell he didn't get fried we have no idea because this was
about 81 and the saw was a metail bodied beast.

lol

the solution for chuck keys, wrenches, etc is to always hold them in your
hand - if you don't let go until it's removed from the tool, you won't start
the tool with the wrench attached. (works for me)

the one that is harmless but always makes me jump is when I'm changing
sandpaper on a jitterbug with the air pressure still on and it starts up on
me....

RAS blades take a long time to cut when you ignore the arrow and mount

That's only half the solution. The other half is to make sure you put it down
in the same place every time, so you know where it is the next time you need
it.

Not always practical on a drill press, though. I've never had problems losing
the chuck keys for my portable drills, but I had a hard time keeping track of
the drill press key until I bought one of these:

I dropped a generous glob of Nitromors (Paint remover) on my lap. When the
chemical eventually reached my crown jewels there was no time for
contemplation. I rushed headlong straightaway into the kitchen, dropped my
Jeans and y-fronts, splashed my bare burning privates with water. Such
relief. As the agony subsided I realised I had a spectator. The local
spinster lady was standing in the road, both hands full of shopping bags,
mouth agape.
