Today's Hint - Don't do things like this
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! |

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 Leo Van Der Loo http://homepage.mac.com/l.vanderloo/PhotoAlbum12.html RonB wrote: I am sure I am not the only one who carries a portable phone handset to the garage shop.

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. |
I don't have a phone in the shop, although it might be good for an

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....

Not always practical on a drill press, though.

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. Jim the Limp "Andy Dingley" wrote in message ...
