Sun, 4 May 2008 It's the beginning of safety week and here at Matt's Basement Workshop I'm planning on sharing with you my take on three very important safety issues, starting today with sawdust safety. When most of us think of sawdust safety we think of fires and explosions due to sparks and accumulated piles. But I think of health issues first and foremost. If not properly contained, sawdust poses a major health issue not just on the woodworker, but their families too. A couple of good links to visit includeOSHA's Woodworking eTool, Gregory Machinery and also some of my previous episodes that deal with dust collection include, Episode #9 "Dust Collection", Tips From the Scrap Pile No.30 . If you have the time, please take the new listener survey, click here. And don't forget to drop me a line with your questions, comments and suggestions, especially since Hendrik is back in May and we're talking about starting a small woodworking business. Just drop us a line at mattsbasementworkshop@gmail.com. Also, Hendrik is starting his annual three part finishing seminars: For some great woodworking classes in the Chicago area visit Jeff Miller's website at furnituremaking.com.
