Three categories of people who know about safety in carpentry EVERYTHING
But at the same time, I have never seen any real help from them.
Greetings.
This channel "Carpenter at home", I have been leading for almost 2 years. In addition, I have a website on the same topic and a YouTube channel that have been running for over 9 years.
During this time, my publications received a huge number of comments on various occasions, but here I will single out only one type of comments and it relates to the topic. "Violations of safety measures by the author."
While communicating with the authors of such comments, I have identified three categories:
- These are people who have very little or never worked with their hands and at the same time they are extremely frightened by all kinds of tools that make noise, saws, drills, planes. Seeing that someone else easily copes with such a tool, and they cannot do that, which means, in their opinion, that this other 100% violates TB, so they write about it boldly.
- The second category is people who were once injured at work and still have fear. Naturally, when they see the situation similar to the one in which they were injured, it is obvious that this is a violation of TB, and they know about it from personal experience.
- And the third category is safety engineers. Well, their position is supposed to know this subject.
So, when I asked such commentators in what exactly there was a violation and how to do it safely, then in response I received either theoretical reasoning from the field that an unloaded gun hanging on the wall, even though once in a lifetime it can shoot, or that it is useless to explain to me anyway, I don’t understand, or it’s just kept silent.
At the same time, I have never received real and useful advice.
Of course, there are not so many such people. More often, I still get interesting comments in which people share their best practices, help me better understand woodworking, and suggest interesting ideas.
Thank you very much for reading my publications and sharing your experience.
But still, what about safety?
In my opinion, this is at least gets acquainted with the operation manual instrument, and rely on your common sense when working.
For example, my common sense says that you CANNOT use a grinder with a saw blade. After all, if with a circular saw, if the disc is skewed, you can get a kickback, then what can we say about a grinder that does not have a support platform and the tool is held only by hands and without support.
Thanks for reading. I would be glad to have your support in the form of a like and a subscription to the channel. And see other publications on the channel .
