Safety

  • Tool Safety
    • Cut with caution: Use a sharp fixed blade knife or chisel and be careful not to apply excessive force to prevent slips.
    • Always cut away from your body.
    • Wear safety glasses: Protect your eyes from flying splinters or debris from cutting or hammering.
    • Use wire cutters and files: When cutting off tacks or pegs, use wire cutters and file the ends flush to the wood. Be careful not to scratch the surface.
    • Use the right drill bit: Use a drill bit that is appropriate for the wood and the size of the holes needed to avoid splitting the wood.
  • Steam Box Safety
    • Use tongs: Use tongs to handle the hot, steamed wood bands.
    • Wear gloves: Wear gloves for protection against heat.
    • Work quickly: Work quickly when the wood is pliable, and wear gloves to avoid burns.
    • Be careful with steam: A gust of hot steam will billow out forcefully when the steam box is opened. Be careful to avoid burning your face or hands.
    • Ventilate: Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling steam and heat.
