Safety First!

[TomG]

That's what I'm leaning toward next. Loose clothing is by far the most serious safety hazard out there. You can forget your safety glasses and lose an eye, but if your loose clothing gets caught by a machine you will be fighting for your life, if you even have the chance. You saw how quickly that piece of plastic got snatch up by my mill in that Plastic drill video, imagine if that was a gloved hand. A student was also killed at Yale university recently after she got her hair caught in a lathe, loose clothing, hair and jewelry rules are no joke.

I need to figure out an eye opening way to demonstrate the hazard to make a lasting impression. Along those lines, I had a college instructor actually slice a beef shank in two on a band saw to illustrate how quickly something so innocent can remove your arm. That's one safety lesson I NEVER forgot.
