I'm wondering if anyone has been injured on this work site.

I have turned Eucalyptus. I found it to lack figure so it wasn't attractive. I don't have pictures but I made bowls about 8 inches diameter. It turned well and the chisels had to be kept very sharp. I finished them with a varnish with no problems. I also turned weed pots and painted them with...

Hi, I built my aircraft hangar with a 40 foot span and used wooden gussets, nails and glue. It has faired well for 25 years and withstood 150 km/hour winds. Ray

I have used dado blades here in Canada for at least 40 years, in school workshops too, and never experienced any problems. None of the equipment had automatic braking. I use one on both my own table saw and radial arm saw and wouldn't be without a set.

Very nice, and similar to those outlined in a woodturning magazine recently.
