Hey everyone. I've just posted this in a couple of places and thought I'd share it here as I know some of you also do this. I tried posting the video but it's too large (!) so here's a link to the Instagram Live I did earlier (fair warning, InstaLive is a portrait format video which may cause consternation ) :-
So,TL;DR - haven't been in the workshop much this week, last time was probably Thursday, popped in this morning to shoot some 'talking heads' for a Patreon video and when I got to my door I could hear something from inside. Opened the door and was hit by a blast of heat and noise as my big extractor was running. No idea how long it had been on for, but I keep it on a domestic remote control socket for convenience, and have to assume that someone/something nearby had triggered it. All is well here, but if I hadn't popped in this morning the consequences could have been horrible.
So, unplug them when unattended; yes, I know you probably do already, and yes, it sounds obvious when you say it. But I'm saying it anyway, as it may help prevent a fire.
Have a good weekend. P
