Woodworking Shop Safety

10 Safety Tips to Post in Your Shop

1) Think Before You Cut – The most powerful tool in your shop is your brain, use it. Thinking your

cuts and movements through before acting can help save both fingers and scrapwood.

2) Keep a Clean Shop – A cluttered shop is an accident waiting to happen. Keeping your shop clean

will help protect you, and your tools, from tripping hazards.

3) Avoid Distractions – Pay attention to your actions. Looking up to watch the shop TV or visitor

can result in your hand contacting the blade. Always wait until you have completed your cut before

you take your eyes off the blade.

4) Don’t Rush – Keep in mind that this is just a hobby and take a break when you feel rushed or

frustrated with a project. Mistakes happen when we rush to complete a job.

5) Don’t Force It – If your saw is resisting the cut, stop and see what’s wrong. A misaligned rip

fence or improperly seated throat plate can sometimes cause a board to get stuck in mid cut.

Forcing the board in these situations may cause kickback or contact with the blade. Take a moment

to evaluate the situation and determine the problem.

6) Protect Yourself – Wearing the proper shop protection is an important part of safe tool operation.

Goggles, Ear Protection, and Lung Protection should be used when operating tools. Use push sticks

when working close to the blade and make sure the tool's safety features are in place.

7) Let the Tool Stop – Giving the power tool time to wind down after a cut is an often-overlooked

safety mistake. Even without power, the spinning blade can still do a lot of damage.

8) Fumes and Dust – Solvent fumes and airborne dust can present health and explosion hazards.

Care should be taken to ensure a supply of fresh air and use only explosion proof vent fans.

9) Wear Appropriate Clothing – Loose clothing or hair can get caught in power tools and cause

severe injury.

10) No Alcohol – Too many woodworkers have been injured because Alcohol clouded their judgment.

Avoid their mistakes and wait until after you’re done in the shop.

CANDLEBOX

MAKING T HE CANDLEBOX

This simple but attractive candlebox is distinguished by its

sliding top. The lid has beveled edges tapering so they can

slide in grooves cut into the inside faces of the box's sides

and one end. A carved, inset pull adds a decorative touch

as well as providing a means for easy sliding of the lid.

After the lumber is milled to the required thicknesses,

widths and lengths, cut grooves to receive the top and

bottom panels. Next, cut the through dovetails at each

corner (this procedure is discussed in chapter twenty-five).

Bevel the top and bottom panels and assemble the case

around the bottom panel, which is left unglued so that it

can expand and contract across its width in response to

seasonal changes in humidity. Complete construction by

fitting plugs into the openings left at each corner at the

ends of the grooves.

The open top of the candlebox lid reveals the grooves the lid

rides in.

HAND-PLANING THE BEVELS

FOR THE CANDLEBOX LID

First, make layout

Plane the bevel

across the end

grain first so that

any tearout occur-

ring at the end of the

plane's stroke will be

removed when the

adjacent bevel is

formed. Although a

jack plane can be

used to make this

bevel, it may be nec-

essary to finish with

a block plane which,

with its lower cut-

ting angle, produces

a cleaner surface

across end grain.

lines to mark the

limits of the bevel.

Make one line around

the edges of the lid %"

from the lid's bottom

surface. Make a second

line on the lid's top 1

'A" from the outside

edges. The bevel will

connect these two

lines.

SHAPING THE PULL

2 Placing the tip of

a flat chisel in the

scored line, cut

along that line, an-

gling toward the arc.

Using a wide-sweep

gouge, make cuts

from the arc back

toward the scored

line. Carefully lever

up chips.

With a marking

gauge or a sharp

knife, make a line

parallel to and 1"

from the unbeveled

end of the lid. Posi-

tion the stationary

leg of a compass on

that line halfway

across the width of

the lid. Draw an arc

with the compass's

pencil point.
