Shop Safety Tip
Getting a grip on your workpieces.
Getting a grip on your workpieces.
Having a solid grip on your stock as you move it through sawblades and other operations is a "must" for preventing injury. Whenever possible, use push blocks or push sticks to keep your hands out of harm's way. When this isn't possible and you must use your fingers to control your stock, begin by first wiping as much sawdust as possible off all project surfaces with a damp cloth or tack cloth. Then, lick the tips of your fingers to improve your grip before grasping the workpiece.
Regular Meetings are at 7.00 PM on the third Tuesday of the month at Sechelt Elementary School. Any change of location for special meetings will be announced.
The May Meeting is on Tuesday May 20th at 7.00 PM at Sechelt Elementary. The guest speaker is Vijay Narayan from Mohawk Finishing located in Vancouver.
