Andrew's warning should be heeded. I had it happen with a belt sander at I school where I worked, I dismantled the guarding in double quick time to get to the fire! Fortunately no harm was done, I don't think that I would have been forgiven if I had burnt the school down, plus I would have been out of a job. Great video Simon and congratulations on the bike. |

I'd lump it in with 'planning' in general. If I let myself, i'll plan forever and get sick of the project idea before I even start making it. Now I just get the plan 'good enough' and then dive in. Plus it's never that accurate since you can't anticipate things not working and needing to change the plan! --- Quote from: awemawson on August 12, 2014, 05:47:47 AM ---Excellent Video Simon - I've enjoyed the thread and I enjoyed your ride :thumbup: Just a minor comment: be careful using your bobbin sander for wood followed by metal. The hot sparks from the metal can (and do) ignite the wood dust. Ask me how I know :lol: --- End quote --- I did sweep the dust out from inside, but it was just by coincidence. I'd never considered that sparks might be able to ignite the settled dust... |
