One week of safety coverage wasn’t enough for us. So we decided to stretch our coverage out through the month of May on the Fine Woodworking Guide to Safety and here on our safety blog.
While I made one round-up post last week, I didn’t have time to do any other shout-outs to cyberland. Tonight, I wanted to highlight The Renaissance Woodworker… the guy cranked out six safety videos last week. Check them out.
His videos highlight good common sense tips but even better is his safety dance (at the end of each video)… While it's a far cry from woodworking safety (“uhm.. how safe is it to dance with a saw?” commented one person.) It just might make you laugh out loud!
His posts cover:
- Router safety
- Tablesaw safety and push sticks
- Lathe safety
- Dust from hand tools
- How to avoid the “paper cut on crack”
- How even wood shavings can draw blood

ABOUT YOUR SAFETY
Woodworking is a solitary hobby and it requires tools and techniques that are inherently dangerous. These two factors make workshop safety a top concern for any woodworker. When working in the shop it is important to protect your eyes, ears, and lungs, and take great care when using hand and power tools. These safety manuals prepared by the editors of Fine Woodworking provide the foundation of safety knowlege every woodworker should know.
