Lets not forget about the fumes ! They can be pretty nasty. After reading the posts here, makes me feel even better for ordering my new North dual filter face mask to be used when spraying and sanding  :)

 

Be SAFE guys.

We need your continued pics posted to help inspire!!!

I told my wife of this story and she related to me that she used to work in a wood refinishing shop. They got solvents in 55 gallon drums. Pails of the stuff were everywhere, rags soaked in the stuff on every bench. AND EVERYONE WITH CIGS HANGING FROM THEIR LIPS !!! She said some of the guys would even throw their butts in pails of solvent figuring the liquid would put out the butt !

Makes one think, someone was watching over them hey :) Unreal !

Sort of like hearing someone falling from a plane and getting up and walking away and another slips in the tub and dies.

Dan. You always where a bright spark, but that is taking it a bit too far.

One solution is to live on a relatively small island surrounded by sea (which is, after all, pretty much the definition of an island). We don't have dry seasons. Only wet ones and really wet ones. The only consolation is that it is (much) worse in Wales.

Grounding? It might be good practice to think about it?

Glad you are okay, Dan. 

I get a lot of dust flying in my shop I have heard it can explode.  Plus I usually have a profane heater running.

   Uncle John: "...I usually have a profane heater running."

   Okay,  I'm fairly up on things,  but I have no idea what a profane heater is...

   or a sacred one,  for that matter.  I at least hope for your sake that you are

   not planning on using a blasphemous hammer!

Crap.   Owl, maybe it is a proPANE heater.   Hmm, I think maybe a video response to this. Will give it a try tomorrow.

I have a short temper, so I quite often have a profane heater running when I'm working. Room gets pretty warm....
