Woodworking: Protection When Working With Wood - Ignoring Could Potentially Harm Your Health Or Kill

!±8± Woodworking: Protection When Working With Wood - Ignoring Could Potentially Harm Your Health Or Kill

Woodworking: Basic Safety Tips

Woodworking can be a dangerous undertaking if you are not careful and choose to disregard safety guidelines. A circular saw, router, or other piece of power equipment can disfigure and even kill if not used properly. Even hand tools, which must be extremely sharp to provide best results, can cause serious injuries. In addition, the sawdust and fumes from wood can be harmful to the lungs if inhaled on a regular basis, especially if the wood was harvested from an orchard or tree farm where pesticides were used to control insects.

Fortunately, the advances in equipment and safety products have made it much more easy to have a safe working environment. Many tools come with built-in safety features like blade guards or emergency shut off switches. Other items such as feather boards and bench dogs can be made or purchased very inexpensively. And other parts of woodworking safety don't cost a thing, but draw instead on practice and common sense.

There are several key aspects of safety when it comes to woodworking, and they apply whether you have an advanced shop with many different power tools or are working with basic hand tools in your basement or den.

Protect Yourself

Protecting your body from accidents is a key aspect of woodworking safety. Unfortunately, people get lazy or too comfortable or they feel that the safety equipment gets in the way. A vast majority of shop accidents and injuries occur because people were not using their safety equipment.

Eye Protection

One of the main concerns when working with wood is eye protection. Wood chips can fly off when sawing, drilling, hammering, or any other task that penetrates the material. It usually happens far too quickly to be able to close your eyes or look away. Safety glasses solve this problem. In addition, if tools should break or a part comes loose, your eyes and forehead will be protected. Too many accidents have happened to just brush away this safety concern. It would be very difficult to pursue any woodworking interests with only one eye.

A good pair or safety glasses should be on everyone's list of safety equipment and should be used any time you will be cutting or removing wood with force or power tools. A quality pair of glasses will cost around and could last you your entire life if properly cared for and put away when not in use. Those who need vision correction can even purchase safety classes with bifocal inserts in different strengths for under .

Ear Protection

Some power tools can be quite noisy and can damage hearing. Even repetitive hammering produces loud sharp noises. Many of us know a longtime woodworker who has difficulty hearing due to exposure to equipment over the years. Protecting your ears from the loud decibels is important, especially if you use noisy power equipment such as saws, on a regular basis.

Earplugs work well, earmuffs work even better, and a combination of the two is ideal when working with loud equipment that produces sound in the high decibel range. Earplugs cost just pennies, and a set of earmuffs runs about . You can get them with a radio and antenna built in for around .

Dust Collection

Over the past decade or two, extensive research has been done on the hazards of inhaling wood dust and particles, and the results show that it can cause respiratory diseases. Treated lumber or wood that came from commercial orchards is especially volatile. It is important to capture and remove these particles from the air or protect yourself from breathing them.

A work area with good ventilation will help, but even if you are working in an open area, you will be breathing in the dust if you are standing over the machine while it cuts the wood. If you plan to do a lot of cutting, drilling or sanding, it is best to have a machine that keeps the particles away from your face and prevents you from breathing them in.

There are several methods available, with the most basic being a dust mask. These lightweight masks made of filtering materials fit over your nose and mouth and are typically held in place by a rubber band. Innovative designs improve breathing and deter fogging of safety glasses. A box of 10 high quality dust masks costs around . They do not filter out toxic materials with fumes.

You can also purchase a dust collection system or respirator that you wear on your head or strap on your body. These systems are battery powered and allow you to move around freely. Some people feel that they are uncomfortable and impair vision, but they can be a critical way to protect your long-term health if you plan to spend a lot of time woodworking. Prices range from for a basic system to over 0 for a system that also has head and eye protection.

Another option for dust collection is to use a localized unit that mounts under your worktable, saw, or other equipment and plugs into an outlet. They range from to 0 depending on size, power, filtration system and other factors. A complete shop dust collection system, with a 1- horse motor and large dust ports averages around 0.

Control Your Environment

It is also important to prepare your work environment before starting a project. Be sure to put unneeded items away and pick things up off the floor. The less clutter, the less likely that something will get in the way or cause you to trip or be distracted.

In addition, good lighting will help you to see your work (and your fingers) better. Positional lighting such as a shop lamp will allow you to move around more and to direct the lighting exactly where it is needed.

Try to find an area where people will not be coming in and out. This is for your safety as for theirs, and is especially important when children are present. Be sure to unplug your equipment when you are done working and put away dangerous items such as utility knives and saw blades.

Avoid clothing that hangs loose, including long sleeves or apron strings. Long hair should be pulled back as well. Most power tools have a rotary motion that can grab and wrench a loose piece of fabric or strand of hair. Even if you are just making one cut or a quick drill hole, all it takes is one second for things to go bad. If you get in the habit of following these steps every time, you will develop good safety skills.

As one woodworking expert described, "Safety is like using your turn signal. If you do it every time you go to make a turn, even if it's just going out of the driveway, then you will remember to do it in every situation, especially when it counts the most."

But don't get so comfortable with your work and surroundings that you forget to think about what you are doing. Even though you may have done the same technique many times before, it is important to be conscious of the motions you are making and the movement of the tools.

One other environmental factor mentioned by several of the woodworkers was to have a phone nearby in case an accident does occur and you need to call for help. If you use a portable phone, be sure to put it in the same spot each time so you can go directly to it if needed. It is also a good idea to keep a first aid kit in your work area, just in case.

Take Your Time

As we all know, when we rush to finish something, mistakes tend to happen. In woodworking, this could be disastrous. Take your time, double check your clamps, footing, hand placement, power cord location, and other variables before you start the equipment. Even with hand tools, it is important to make sure you aren't going to saw through something electrical or nail into your hand.

Don't force a saw cut. If a blade gets hung up, back it out and start over. Also, wait for a tool to stop completely before taking your eye off of it or moving it away from the wood. Most drills, saws and other power tools take a few seconds to quit spinning after the power is stopped.

If a task feels uncomfortable, don't do it. You might get a tiny jitter in your belly the first time you start up the circular saw or feel the screw tighten down as you drill, and this is normal. But if you are overly apprehensive and can't hold your materials firmly or concentrate on what you are doing, back off and take a few breaths or find someone to help you with that particular step.

Another important aspect of woodworking safety is to know your tools and use them appropriately and safely. To learn more please refer to the newly published "Woodworking Beginner's Guide" mentioned at the end of this article. It describes many tools that beginners are likely to need and offers information about how to use and care for them.

Energy Star Lights

!±8± Energy Star Lights

Energy Star lights are very good for the environment and were introduced around 1992. The energy efficient consumer products program was started to help promote environmentally friendly products. The idea is to reduce the amount of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

If you use Energy Star lights such as compact fluorescent bulbs in a proper lighting fixture, you could use up to seventy-five percent less energy than the old standard light fixtures used. Many lighting manufacturers are meeting the demands of the public in regards to environmentally friendly lighting products.

Consumers should consider replacing their high usage light fixtures with Energy Star lights. This will also help conserve energy and save money. Most people use the lights in the kitchen, living room, table lamps and outdoor lights the most. It would be wonderful to see every home in North America take this approach to energy conservation.

Due to the publics demand, manufacturers are producing Energy Star lights in various styles now. These include chandeliers, lamps, wall sconces and pendant lights as well.

It is not only Energy Star lights that feature the well known label, you can find it on such products as doors, air conditioners, furnaces, appliances, light bulbs, fans and many more household products. Consumers know that if they see the label on a product that they are getting something that is friendly to the environment. The demand for these products has skyrocketed in the past few years and will continue to do so.

The cost of Energy Star lights should go down as the demand increases. Right now, they are close to the same price with the energy saving product costing slightly more. Compact fluorescent light bulbs last up to ten times more that incandescent bulbs and they also use up to three times less power consumption. One of the drawbacks of incandescent lights is that most of the power used, just goes up in heat, which is a complete waste of energy. People do not use bulbs for heat; they use them for light in the majority of cases.

Energy Star lights are a great way for everyone to do their part in conserving energy. In fact, there really is no reason why consumers should not be switching to these environmentally friendly products.

Solar Lights For Your Backyard

!±8± Solar Lights For Your Backyard

The continuing increase in the cost of electricity is creating a renewed interest in the use of solar energy. Heating and cooling our homes and office buildings using a renewable energy source such as solar would be a huge benefit in cost savings and environmental safety.   However, many of us may not be ready for a project of that size.
 
We can start with a much simpler project.
 
If you have a backyard, patio or deck, a garden, pond or maybe a swimming pool to which you would like to add decorative or utility lighting, solar lights would be an ideal choice.
 
Solar lights do NOT require digging trenches to install wires. They are much safer since they are not connected to powerful electric current. Most solar lights can be easily moved as they are mounted on stakes or posts that can be pushed into the ground whereever you want them.  Solar lights for landscape, deck and patio lighting   are extremely versatile because they can be mounted on deck rails, set on tables, or embedded in steps and paths to ensure safety. There are some wonderful colored solar lights that can light your patio and tables with rotating colors; vases and bowls to accent your outdoor party with colorful lights. Look for a special patio umbrella  fitted with solar lights in its stays to brighten your patio table for delightful entertaining. Solar spot lights mounted near an entrance or in dark corners of your property are ideal for deterring unwanted visitors. A new addition to the solar light arsenal is the solar lit house number sign. It can be mounted near a doorway or at the driveway entrance. Solar lights work very well to light a garden shed or greenhouse located out of the range of your current electric wiring.

So where can we start?

As consumers interested in cleaner, cheaper, and yet reliable energy, a new look at the emerging solar energy field is a good choice.  We have a very strong voice among the movers and shakers of this emerging industry. If we want something, we have to just keep asking. Those who are anxious to sell their products to us will give us what we want.
