Very clever creation..,,,but I wouldn't want to operate it!

 

[Hot stuff]

Took the words right out of my mouth.

 

[bilburt]

Yeah that looks slight sketchy but great results

I have absolutley zero time for people who's bggest concern in whether a machine's been idiot-proofed to the point where it's safe for a toddler to play with.
Just because you can stick your fingers in there doesn't mean you have to!

I agree Col.
I have a Legacy Ornamental Woodturning Lathe and is much better than that contraption. However all wood working machines are capable of biting . That is why we have brains that help us to avoid accidents

So if you had to make your own machine, would you design it to be relatively safe (perhaps costing a little more) or just capable of getting the job done with no guarding whatsoever- just curious.

It is not for me to say how much guarding is needed. however it need to be well constructed so that it does not break under strain. That can happen when one gets complacent, although some of the machine guards are worse than useless.
I have a Dewalt radial arm saw , it did have too many guards on it ( In my opinion ) I do like to see the blade that will try to get me if it can!!!
By the way i bought my Legacy Mill from up your way ,Deaf Hill

Sign of the times in this Cotton Wool Society...Britian was not made great by worrying wither things were safe to a point that you might as well step back and let the robot do it.....Innovators Innovated without a care in the world...a Spitfire was some pieces of wood with a skin thrown over it strapped to a mass engine..stuck a human in there for good measure...Point is the above machine produces decent work ok its pretty crude but it gets the job done....was a Spitfire ever safe....

Some interesting links there, dzienkuje bardzo

I thought this one was very clever

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKpSWOs6hM4

this led to this one

which led to .......

and before I knew it I had wasted two hours...

 

[davin]

I'm hooked.
If you want to see some hefty spindle moulding without H and S watch this one at about 10 minutes in

You'll look for a VERY long time to find any wood at all, anywhere in the structure of a Spitfire Sir!!!!!!!

QUOTE: ....was a Spitfire ever safe.... UNQUOTE:

By any standard you care to apply, YES.

I do take your point about "over safety-ising" things (and tend to agree), but with respect Sir, that example was just about the silliest example you could ever come up with.

There's two side to everything. They weren't AT ALL SAFE. from the german perspective.

I do make my own machines.

As to whether they're safe or not, that would depend on who was using it.

Safe for me? Absolutley.
Safe for someone with zero machining experience? Hell no. #-o

I've seen some of the post and videos on the machines you make Walney Col, and they're excellent - very inventive and I'm sure they're safe in your hands.

But also, you wrote, QUOTE: They weren't AT ALL SAFE. from the german perspective. UNQUOTE:

I understand what you mean, and it's very "clever", but if the German was behind the Spitfire, then even that's not true either.

If you read your history, that happened all too often, especially at the time of Dunkirk and the early part of what became the Battle of Britain. All too often Spitfire (and Hurricane) pilots didn't even see the German that shot them down - a combination of not enough operational training coupled with poor and out-dated tactics from the higher echelons - in other words, lack of "operator" skill and training. (Fortunately for us all, that changed pretty swiftly, despite the "palace politics" indulged in by Leigh-Mallory v Park - again, read the histories).

And there was NO wood at all anywhere within the structure of a Spitfire - both of which points led me to saying that the example was a very silly one. So I stick by my point.

But this is thread drift and I apologise - I do agree with the point about "over-safety-ising" stuff, as already said.
