Our wood lathe refurbishment is nearing completion & the tutor, coordinator & myself have decided to add a key switch to it with only us 3 having keys. Part of the reason is to only allow responsible people to use it, the other is restrict use by one member who will hog the lathe if he gets a chance!
It would be fairly simple to add a key switch in to any machine, maybe something you should consider it.
I bought a Brother ptouch a few years ago, definitely a good investment although the tapes can be a bit dear unless they happen to use the same type at work
I use the compatible tapes from ebay, just as good as brother tapes & a lot cheaper. But don't leave them in a damp garage, they separate inside the cartridge!

2 New Chubb mortise locks, with 2 extra keys. So 4 per lock.
1 New Chubb padlock with 4 keys, 2 extra.
1 Box of lockable 13amp plug guards. 10 in total.
The MIS shed is now only accessible to approved Key holders. and power tools can be locked off to prevent any more "Issues"
Now I am looking for a decent first aid box/ kit.
Looking at the contents of the one we have.
Why does it have 6 triangular bandages?
A card on how to dial 999?
2 plasters?
I have left my spare there with the correct stuff in it, in date as well, to treat the common accidents in a workshop.
Now going home for a coffee, as I did not pick up the tamper proof screws.

I was of course joking when I suggested that 15" speaker was going to be paired with my Sonos, the only way to improve it is "Buy more Sonos products".

A pair of 6" Wharfedale drivers appeared today.
It's just a project to play around with, I'm not expecting great sound quality.
A 15" in a transmission line cabinet could be interesting, an extra octave or two of bass...
Could be the size of a Victorian wardrobe though, and weight five times as much.

It really should haveDid it come with its own health warning?
I just stuck a plug on it to try it out and it does seem to move a good bit of air so should save me lungs a bit when plasma cutting stainless and galv.

I think the only issue will be every time there is some welding going on their will be a huge queue of drunks forming at the door looking for a kebab.Did it come with its own health warning?

When we were allowed to have real fires in fire training. We used to set one of those type fans in a mock up duct.
The smell as it was warming up was very distinctive. When the flames had caught and burning well the flames out of the ducts was hot enough to melt the ally tubing.
DO NOT be tempted to do some toast. A blast of CO2 is off putting to say the least.
If you used the wrong fire extinguisher the resulting flame blast would drive home why you need the correct fire extinguishers.
Sadly now we find it very hard to have "Real fires" for fire extinguisher training.
It is all now death my view point.

Bradawl, not braddle. The clue is in the name of you dissect it - it’s used for making holes in wood for small nails (brads). You can get other types of awl, such as ones to make holes for leather stitching.

Got out today.
@Parm. Your call saved me going into another shop.
A decent roofers bit and brace. Needs a clean. But the jaws work and it has decent springs.
Smaller versions of the adjustable spanner. The jaws will need work. But I know hoe to get it done now.
GWR 3 Way carriage Key. Not for me, but for a friend.
Finally.
I meant, this.
