Table Saw Safety

            So this week I have been working on my table saw.  I am in the process of making some new furniture pieces and modifying an old dresser into a desk for our arts and crafts room (which will be another blog).  So I thought, "what the heck let's do a safety blog for table saws."  And why not, even on farms you have to build stuff.

                 So some of the key things you need are safety glasses, ear protection, some people like gloves, and a guide.  It is obvious that wood pieces do fly around when they are being cut especially when you are ripping wood, so have some safety glasses on your face to protect your eyes.  Ear protection is good to help protect your hearing.  I am not a big fan of gloves; however, they could help keep you from getting splinters.  I like to use a guide, especially when the wood is getting close to the blade.  This helps from you getting your fingers cut off.  

                 When you are cutting wood and the cut is complete, remember to never walk away from the saw while it is still running.  Sometimes accidents happen and you could slip and fall into the running blade.  Always cut the saw off when you are not actively cutting wood.  Always think safety first whenever you are using any power tools.  Stay safe my friends.
