Many folks have rallied round offering all sorts of useful advice.  Unfortunately, much of it was learned the hard way. Being relatively new to woodworking, I recently mentioned to Marc that quickly learning about the dangerous techniques was difficult.  Yes, they&#8217;re &#8220;out there&#8221; but in many scattered places. This week&#8217;s focus has brought many tips, stories, lessons, and bits of advice together.<\/p>\n<p>Following is the collection I&#8217;ve found. You, or I, might not have a particular piece of equipment now and think the tip irrelevant, but the safety tips are valuable to have in mind when we do acquire that equipment.
