Five Mistakes

brendan stemp · #1 19th Feb 2012, 02:48 PM

Apologies if this already been posted.

Have a look at this link and try to spot the 5 mistakes the pictured turner is making. Remember it is a still photo and you can place your cursor on the area where the mistake is, click and the program will let you know if you are right.

My bet is that most of you will not get the fifth error. I thought I had them all but there is an odd one there that will raise a question or two.

Took a while to find the fifth one and a bit questionable.

I'm not a turner but I got them all. Which one do you see as odd?

Pat · #4 19th Feb 2012, 02:59 PM

Got all 5 . . . basic safety.

If your only doing it as a hobby then the safest way is not to do it. How safe do they think we need to be. The fifth I suggest is questionable. Maybe we should keep a pint of blood on standby if we ever need it. There should be 3 other people watching in hazmat suits in case the wood is toxic, 2 electricians in case there is wiring problem and 2 paramedics in case I stub my toe. Happy enough with the 4 major ones.

I got them all in the end but lost a fe points finding the last one

Got the fifth one but only because I thought it would be about respiratory protection. I'm with fly...

I am flabbergasted! I have never heard of anyone suggesting an extra pair of safety goggles should be worn under a facemask. So, that's what I thought was- sorry, is questionable.

Obviously I am wrong, but it ain't gonna change what I do or teach.

So, Jim, you wouldn't agree? Or were you just asking the question.

Pat seems to think its basic safety; is it?

I might re-consider my wearing of thongs in the workshop before I go for the extra pair of safety goggles.

I have enough trouble seeing through the facemask, so an extra layer is just going to make it worse.

Brendan, for me, I wear safety glasses when ever I am playing with the toys in the sheds. The face shield is kept on the bench next to the lathe, especially for turning burls or suspect wood.

The times I dont automatically put on the safety glasses is when the fridge calls out seductively or I get into my comfy recliner

This is where a persons eye sight is worth more than other things.

We have taught guys who have safety specs and we still insist on them wearing a face sheild.

It is one thing to wear safety specs but the chips can still get in under the glasses into your eyes. They bounce of your cheeks and get between the gap between your cheeks and glass rims.

A face sheild may not be the best option but it certainly helps.

The best option for anyone wearing glasses or even those that dont is a powered respirator as you get full face protection and clean air, There will always be excuses for not wearing one, too heavy too expensive etc but at the end of the day you were only given one set of eyes and lungs and it is expensive to change those.

My chuckle was at the guys cuffs, roll them down and do them up is a lot safer than roling the sleeves up, a rolled up sleeve restrict movement and binds up around the arms, why restrict movement. And with arm movement they tend to unroll and become nuasance,
Why not just wear a short sleeve shirt.
A lot of guys wear long sleeve smocks to prevent dermatitus on their arms so no problem there. The cuff stops the muck sitting on their armsand getting up the sleeves.

I'm a little confused here Jim. I'm not advocating the pros or cons of safety glasses and can only agree with what you have said. However, I thought the issue was the bloke in the pic was wearing a face mask only without the added protection of SG. I thought a facemask was sufficient protection. I have, on two occasions been grateful for the protection of a face mask but have never thought it was necessary to wear safety glasses as well. Only when turning small stuff between centres do I rely on safety glasses only.

I only got that one when I clicked his ear in case they thought he needed hearing protection and that was near enough to the goggles to get the point. Far more sneaky is the one on resawing when you click on his pearly whites you get the story about the number of teeth to use on the blade because the blade is in the job and you can't see the teeth. If you click on the nice wide spare blade on the side table you lose points.

Double eye protection is mandatory in heavy industry (well in the mines and associated areas that I know of anyway) especially when grinding or using anything that rotates at a great rate of knots. That's why I didn't think it unusual.
