In this episode Tyler and Barry discuss shop safety. As an added bonus, learn how many PSI it takes to rupture a human rectum …
Show Notes:
- Hearing Protection: Howard Light ear plugs and muffs.
- We find out Barry "has always loved Mozart" (Music credit: Mozart Symphony No. 40 in G Minor).
- Eye protection: If you wear corrective glasses Barry recommends polycarbonate lenses instead of glass.
- Don't wear gloves.
- Tie back (or cut) long hair.
- Don't wear long sleeves or jewelry.
- Wear steel toe shoes. (Audio credit: Mythbusters Season 4 Episode 3: Steel Toe Amputation).
- Don't consume alcohol and operate machinery.
- Pedestal Grinder: Step aside (away from the grinding wheel) before starting the grinder.
- Lathe: Don't leave the chuck key in the lathe chuck!
- Mill: Don't leave the wrench on the drawbar!
- We repeat, Don't Wear Gloves! Use pliers or a chip hook to remove chips, NOT YOUR FINGERS!
- Keep air hoses, extension cords, and any other trip hazards off the floor.
- Remove guards from buffing wheels.
- And apparently you can rupture a human rectum with 4 PSI of compressed air … So don't goose anyone with a blow gun, it could kill!

So Tyler, I think in a future podcast we should examine your morbid fixation on THIS particular part of the podcast. Not to the point of running tests to prove or disprove the reported information of course.

Follow the link for yet more proof that not following safety guidelines can lead to tragic ends.

A small but fatal footnote on how important safety guidelines are!!!

rl,
Welcome to Projects in Metal! I think you're going to like it here.
The awful Yale lathe accident was discussed here a couple of days ago. It still makes me want to cry.

Hi RL, welcome to the site!
I agree, what happened to that student was tragic. I just hope that it doesn't shut down their machine shop (although a revision of their policies is certainly in order, like disallowing students to use machinery without at least one other experienced person present).
Lets hope the university, and other universities and shops learn from this experience.
Anyway, thanks for taking a listen to the podcast and for taking the time to comment!
Also, Barry and I recorded another podcast tonight but we are out of called-in questions. So if you guys have questions please leave them on voicemail. 209-379-5309.

They have been submitted, but they are still in the review process. I'll post a link to them on iTunes once they get approved (probably in a few days or so).
Have you listened to all three? What did you think?
Do you have any questions for a future podcast? If so, please call it in! We need more questions.

Excellent, glad you liked them.
It's funny, we both struggled a lot with the first podcast. I think we re-recorded the intro 4 or 5 times (and that's in addition to the 3 versions that I recorded by myself before asking Barry to help with the project). We kept messing up or feeling like we sounded like an idiot (nerves). Finally the software crashed and we lost all 5 takes of the intro (the save button would have been a good idea …).
At that point our attitude totally changed. It was obvious that we weren't going to be able to produce a polished broadcaster-style podcast (we aren't journalists after all) so we said to ourselves, "what the hell, whatever comes out in this take is what they're going to get."
That's when it became fun instead of work.
I think we are going to try a few things to help organize future episodes, but I think we will be sticking with the informal style. It just fits our personalities best.
Anyway, glad you liked it! Still waiting to hear back from iTunes.
