Hi All
Background....Ya ll know by now about my NN issue. Anyhow in a round about way this has raised a issue i never gave any thought to and still dont have a solution to so thought I would check in with ya all for a solution.
When i come into the house after being out in the shop I always ask LOML if she heard my noise. I then reflect on what i was doing and mentally calibrate the element of disturbance for each operation.
In actual fact i have very little noise radiating from my shop. This has caused a concern of sorts to LOML since she uses this noise to know i am still kicking out there. Not that its an indicator.
So we got to talking and discussing how she would even know if something went wrong and i was not able to help myself to get attention from anyone.
Then this morning i see Stus post on the BBQ getting it out of the dungeon and thought wow whats his plan if something happens to him in there.
So my big question is has anyone got an idea or thought of this issue and have something to add or suggest in regards to combating this issue?
I would guess that the majority of us are solitary workers and we have all seen how accidents happen to even the most experienced of us. A machine running does not say we are ok. Could have had a chunk of wood fly off the lathe or TS and knock us out such that the domino effect could have caused serious injury.
Anyone have a plan, thought here? Yeah I know and we all know we should wear safety equipment etc but even that does not stop accidents.
This does cause LOML concern as noted from the fact that when i was busy last week cleaning out mortises with a sharp chisel and no bashing, inside for hours she heard no noise at all. She brought me a cup of tea to ckeck as to my status.
