About Me
- PJM
- I grew up in West Texas, and could not wait to get away. I got away, and went to the University of Texas, and then on to Stanford. I saw the world, and decided what I really wanted was to be in West Texas. So here I am, right back where I started. I had it all, and found it was not that great.

Not a sawmill, probably a cabinet shop or furniture company.
ReplyDeleteNotice no guard on the saw. Looks like some serious child labor and OSHA violations here.
ReplyDeleteBack then people had common sense and knew to not go near the fast spinning sharp disc.
ReplyDeleteCommon sense is one thing. Accidents are totally another.
ReplyDeleteYou could sneeze, misdirect the board you are cutting, and your coworker could loose fingers or a hand. THAT is why safety laws came into being.
I heard terrible stories from older foundry workers in the town where I was born about people being killed by molten steel before some of the safety regulations came to be.
I recenty left a job because of a lack of health and saftey. Guards and the like ARE common sense!
