Personal Safety in the Knife Shop
ОглавлениеAs with any craft, knifemaking comes with its own set of hazards and should be approached in as safe a manner as possible. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is essential when working with power tools, dust, chemicals, or high heats. You can expect to encounter all of these when making a knife. You need to protect your eyes, ears, lungs, and skin. It’s very simple to take proper precautions, and you’ll thank yourself for taking the time later on in life. As a full-time maker, there’s not a single day in the shop that I’m not suited up under safety glasses, hearing protection, a respirator, and protective clothing.
