Hello Matt - 

--8<--cut 

CA>> Discussions of working on TVs 'hot' and working on
CA>> Microwaves seem to be a formula for disaster to me. 

MM> It bothers me more to see some shadetree mechanic 'tuning'
MM> a running car engine wearing loose fitting clothing,
MM> bracelets, jewelry, etc. 

I was standing talking to a friend while his pickup truck was
idling and one fan blade came off, went through the hood of the
pickup, and we never found it. That hole in the hood of the
pickup convinced me to stand off to the side when an engine is
running. 

MM> I've even seen such people operating machine tools in local
MM> private shops down here. One gust of breeze through the
MM> shop, and someone will be missing a hand or worse. 

Print shops seem careless about safety from stories I've heard
but woodworking equipment from Sears (and others) is a 'trap'
for the weekend warriors (no training how to use it safely).

There _were_ woodworking classes at high schools where a person
could learn to use these tools properly but I doubt most would
admit the need to learn safety first.
