I think that rcw by not having pictures or moderators is a particularly comfortable forum for beginning or retread turners. I sure hope so and I wish more lurkers would contribute. Any mannerly input is a contribution and often is a welcome change from repetition, Of course, a query or answer is not repetitious to the poster or to newcomers and the ng welcomes them and needs them to survive.
Some of these Q's & A's indicate that there are many simple methods & techniques for turners that most here take for granted, but not all beginners know about. I think it is the same with many common safety warnings and precautions that aren't obvious to newcomers and they might have little reason to consider.
This is RCW and some dangers and precautions are arguable or may be discounted by the more experienced, but IMO they should not just be discussed in depth from time to time, but best kept in mind continuously. OK, I may be an annoying 'safety nut' or I may have inhaled too much solvent vapor this morning, but with so many new turners due to woodturning's rising popularity, I believe that safety should be rcw's watchword.
As an example, I'll caution against holding hemostats and tools with ringed handles with fingers thru the rings. Hold by the flats for obvious reasons. The list of risks & precautions is long and arguable, but it is important that every turner at least know about potential dangers. How best to keep the dangers before everybody?
A suggestion to try: if we each added a one line risk or danger or precaution, potential or actual, as a p.s. or signature to our posts, we would keep safety continuously in mind. I'd rather rather be annoyed than hurt and I doubt your milage varies. :)
