Blade should never be up unless you’re using the saw. Its a pet peeve of mine. Its also a safety issue which is another pet peeve of mine. Although i never renewed my Osha certification, the stuff i learned still sticks with me. if someone were to trip that blade would hurt.
(pulling out soapbox moment) : this isnt being Excellent imo.
i left it as i found it. Im not the woodshop nanny. Just an occasional salty old guy, fluent in sarcasm.
(puts soapbox away so I don’t trip over it and fall into the blade).
its almost like leaving the gas on with a blowtorch.
(a heartfelt please) when doing an orientation for woodshop safety, make it a point to tell folks, this is really ultra uncool.
as in introvert, dont ask me to do an orientation class. I also work 2nd shift so I really cant. Id do a walkin during and say something though if i could.
