Thread: Five Mistakes

Got all 5 although one I clicked on didn't come up at first score 230

Got all 5 but must admit my fifth was for breathing protection (being an asthmatic) rather than 2nd layer of eye protection.
So now there are 6 things I have to remember.

But what about the tool rest being too high? I thought that would be one; it looks too high to me. But I was wrong about the eye protection so...........

Too high for the SRG, too far out from the work piece, SRG presented at right angles to the job . . .

Right on Mr B. The tool would be scraping, not cutting.

Glasses and a face shield, I'm having a battle at the club at the moment just getting them to force turners to wear just one , some of them think it is more important to wear ear plugs

A double layer of unprescribed eye protection can sometimes be a danger rather than a help. Double layers can add reflections or produce distort fields of view and restrictive peripheral vision.

I normally wear a face shield because I sometimes wear specs. The one time I was so glad I was wearing one was using a chainsaw mill, a 25 mm heavy brass cap from the auxiliary oiler tank vibrated loose and fell onto the chain with the saw operating at full throttle. The cap hit me on the face shield fair between the eyes and it felt like I had been hit by a baseball bat.

The 5 errors are not shown?
1. There is no beer fridge.
2. No racks/stacks of wood in the corner.
3. He's not wearing shorts and thongs.
4. There is no tube of CA on top of lathe to 'patch' things
5. His wife is in the shed doing filming, das woman is vebotten.

Any body see any other errors?

I got all 5 but I was thought the faceshield one was for hearing protection (I miss the silence of belt driven lathes).

I also lost a couple of points finding the fifth and only clicked it due to no breathing protection.

My first though was the loose wires hanging down from the lathe (trip hazard).

However I do wear double eye protection normally, Safety Glasses with my prescription and either a face shield or air-mask.

I reckon face shields are designed wrong for turning! They seem specially designed for the chavings to go straight up your nose. has one that comes around his chin and sits against his chest! I want one of those.

Kinda like this. Not the one has though!


Or this for the go fast model.

6. He's too young to be a woodturner
7. He is dressed too neatly. Put a tie on him and he could be off to his accounting office.

There are a couple of other things I would pick, not life/health threatening but I wouldn't do it.
1. As already picked, tool rest is too high.
2. He should be starting his roughing at the end & working out, not in the middle dur to the risk of getting a long splinter instead of chips.
3. I wouldn't dare to start roughing out with an open collar, all the chips would go straight up under the mask, bounce of my chin & then go straight down the front of my shirt.

double eye protection is mandatory in most worksites thesedays. probably coz you only get one set...
