After several years of doing Safety Week, I am at a bit of a loss for topics. So what I need from you folks are specific safety questions (not looking for broad topics here). I’ll then create a few videos around those questions/concerns. If you are new to woodworking, this is an excellent time to ask those burning safety questions. If one person has the question, chances are hundreds of others are wondering the same thing. So feel free to leave your question here in the comments or submit them to me directly using our contact form.

Also, be sure to check out our Safety Articles and Safety Videos to confirm that we haven’t already covered the topic in the past.
