The whirling blades are pretty apparent. Wear a dust mask while sanding, and take comfort that Jesus was a carpenter and didn&amp;#x27;t die of respiratory illness&amp;#x2F;failure.&lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#x27;t do your own rigging or wiring, and you&amp;#x27;ll probably be fine. I do much of my own on both and I&amp;#x27;m still ok.&lt;p&gt;Watch the tommy bar on your vise, and mind your marking knife. The apparently harmless things will get you because you pay them less mind.&lt;p&gt;Source: am a furniture maker. I still have 10 fingers. Haven&amp;#x27;t died of respiratory illness yet. Nor have I burned my shit down or crushed myself moving machinery. I have definitely made an unplanned trip for super glue after slicing myself with a marking knife.</text><parent_chain><item><author>mkii</author><text>I&amp;#x27;m hesitant to get into physical project hobbies (e.g. low-voltage electronics, wood-working, 3D printing) because I&amp;#x27;m afraid of all the hazards that I don&amp;#x27;t know about.

It&amp;#x27;s a problem for people who do it 40+ hours a week, but a hobbyist is going to struggle to reach the level of exposure needed for it to matter. You&amp;#x27;ll learn about them and mitigate them long before it becomes an issue.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve been swimming in all sorts automotive and manufacturing fluids and fumes and forces for years and it hasn&amp;#x27;t caught up to me yet. I know a shitload of people that have done it for decades without a scratch, and a lot of them didn&amp;#x27;t even try to be safe about it.</text><parent_chain><item><author>mkii</author><text>I&amp;#x27;m hesitant to get into physical project hobbies (e.g. low-voltage electronics, wood-working, 3D printing) because I&amp;#x27;m afraid of all the hazards that I don&amp;#x27;t know about.
