Another really good thing about the fire blankets is that, handled correctly, they are pretty much the best way to help a friend who is burning. Get them on the floor and cover them with the blanket. Pat down so to smother all flames and sparks. The most important thing is to start from the head and work your way downwards as otherwise you will force the flames up to the face and that wont help very much.

[@JarlSeamus]

Thanks for this Stump! Just got the IsoTunes muffs for $30 LESS than what they cost at Lowes! And they had an additional Military/Veteran/First Responder discount!!!!!!!! 10/10 would recommend again!

[@robt2151]

For me (not being in the US) one of the best ideas in this video is to mount the tool vice onto a wooden panel that can be clamped quickly - much better than trying to hold it steady when in use. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@wayner806]

Myself being in the USA approves of this vice mounted on the panel too.

[@Dleihs]

I have always preferred fire blankets over fire extinguishers. If only because they don't expire and will always work when you need them too. They can also be used to prevent fires when you are going to throw sparks which an extinguisher cannot.

I couldn't agree more with the commentary on the Shelix cutter heads. I upgraded my 13" Delta planer, liked it so much I upgraded a 6" Jet jointer as well. Installation was pretty straightforward in both cases, and the cut quality AND noise reduction are fantastic. Will never go back!

[@mascatrails661]

Yesterday I was cleaning up and reorganizing my shop and came across 2 of those fire blankets I had gotten a while back and then just tossed down. Now they are properly hung in easy to spot and access places! Thanks for all the great recommendations as usual!

[@laff000]

Wood magazine once asked...if old you could talk to younger you about woodworking what would you say. One of the overwhelming responses was personal safety. Telling younger you about wearing earmuffs and proper dust collection in the shops were tops on the list. A can attest to this most definitely. Secondly I upgraded my joiner several years ago. It was the best thing I ever did. I've run a lot of boards through it and have yet to rotate the blades.

[@gregtaylor3432]

I would add a comment concerning the fire blanket (and fire extinguisher). Ideally they should be mounted at or near the exit(s) to the shop. that way if you should have an issue you have to go to the door to retrieve the blanket or extinguisher. Then when you return to the fire, the door is behind you. This way, you haven't placed yourself on the other side of the fire from the exit. IE: You have a line of retreat!

[@danielbackley9301]

Not only is this good advice but the best advice is to have more than one and to have them hanging on the walls with no possible obstructions in the way or on posts if you have any . Additionally spend the money for the stickers or RED PAINT to highlight their locations as this may actually be a fire code requirement depending on where you're located.

[@-Xaverius]

Another thing to be carefull about is that not all fire blankets are made equal, the properly made ones will work on all the fire types you meantioned but some may not work at all, while some work will work but not on oil/grease fires.

[@user-zh4vo1kw1z]

I was tought they need to be in a central location, to minimize the average response time. Preferably one that will always have some room, like a support column in the walk/drive paths. Though they are mandatory here in some circumstances (I know people who have one in their hobby room and at an old job all vans had one) I don't know how fixed in stone that guideline is. But considering the cost/benefit and longevity I would just say "do both".

[@cuebj]

Agree with all comments in this subthread. Two more things: 1. Stick a few alarms per year in an electronic clock to make you all practice a fire drill, preferably with nobody knowing when they are scheduled. 2. Arrange for your local fire officer to advise about ideal and second best fire defense for your shop. It's easy for us amateurs to miss something that's obvious the moment they point it out

[@rivernet62]

Disagree. The primary purpose of fire equipment is to enable humans to exit. Extinguisher should be at the interior so that if the fire is blocking your exit you can make your way out. Once you’re at the exit, you can safely get out anyway. But I like B’s comment “why not do both.”

[@MrJohnnyboyrebel]

Total agreement on the carbide helical planer upgrade! I put the Lux head in my DW735X and have been extremely happy with the cut quality, noise, and even chip collection. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Double yes.

[@jobaecker9752]

Just when you think you've seen every possible cool tool, here comes Stumpy Nubs to outdo themselves. I just love the thought that goes into these items that solve really basic problems. And I appreciate your focus on smaller businesses. Well done!

[@woodpurposedmechanic8299]

I'm retired and a very part time wood worker. I don't have the most expensive and newest tools. I do have all of the basic tools one needs for a decent wood shop and yes some of them are from Harbor Freight (gasp). With that said it's not hard to understand that spending the money on several Shelix heads was not easy. Well the first one wasn't, as it was for my Harbor Freight jointer which is really a copy of an old Porter Cable unit. Yep the Porter Cable dropped right in. Best money I ever spend on a power tool. It completely transformed that machine. So it wasn't hard to spend the money on an old Rigid thickness planer that I acquired. I looked at different, better and way more expensive machines that I couldn't afford for a long time and decided to try an upgrade on my old machines and man what a difference.

Great call on the fire blankets! We have had one in the kitchen for years and thankfully have not needed it---yet.

If you wear your earmuffs with a ball cap, remove the nail from the top of your cap, it’s way more comfortable. I’ve been removing them for years.

[@jons2447]

AGREE! I started removing them about 30-40 years ago. We used to use our caps to swat things & each other. Removing the 'buttons' on top of our caps was 'popular' in our crew. I still do it because the 'buttons' will definitely hurt your head if you bump it against anything hard.

Hey "Nubs", love your content! I picked up a 35 year old Delta DJ-20 8" jointer from a wonderful older gentleman who had just turned 92 and was retiring from the hobby. It was in great condition as you could tell how well taken care of it was. Any way I recalibrated it with a new set of carbide knives from Seth at MWC as I couldn't talk myself into a helical head. It wasn't three months later and had two very small nicks, even in the carbide knives. So I reached for the wallet and bought the Lux III helical, recalibrated both beds and I was shocked at the difference! Thanks for turning us onto this resource and the upgrade, great company, kick butt cutter head!!

The jessem clear cut stock guides are by far the best 'evolution of the feather board' type accessory on the market. The two way pressure provided is amazing and obviously patented lol I will say that Harvey did a great job of bringing a product of value to market while having to design around such an innovative design patent as found on the jessem. In fact I can think of a few situations in which the Harvey would be advantageous because the jessem design just couldn't be used, such as really tall stock. That said there are many more situations in which the exact opposite would be true. The jessem is a far superior design.

Stumpy check at the Noise Fighter gel ear cups for ear muff style hearing protection. They are also a Michigan company, if you are ever down by Saginaw or when I travel up to Marquette I would gladly let you try them out. What is special about their product is they have a notched out area for eye protection. I use them on my range MSA Sordins and they make a huge difference in comfort and I really think they could be a game changer in the woodworking world. I get a better seal and better protection then the normal foam or even the complete oval gel cups.

[@TrevorDennis100]

I am not sure if you mentioned how much quieter helical heads are compared HSS. This is especially significant in a home shop where you need to worry about your neighbours. Clogging up dust extractor ports is a huge advantage, and especially if your timber is not as dry as it might be. Helical heads completely eliminate that clogging problem. I am not sure if the finish is any better. I expected to see the parallel lines across the timber eliminated with helical head, but that is not the case. I regret buying the Link bluetooth ear defenders now, as I suspect the new ones from ISOtunes would suit my large head size a lot better. I am still using my Bose QF35 in the workshop as the Link ear defenders are too tight and soon become uncomfortable, and this is especially so when you are wearing reading or safety glasses, as the arms dig into your ears. I like the look of the Fat Boy markers and have ordered a set already, but Amazon shows limited stock so don't delay if you are interested.

Regarding Ear Pro: I use banded earplugs, and use a heat gun to adjust the clamping pressure to my particular head width (Which can get a bit oversized at times I admit).

G'day. You should have taken the fire blanket out and showed the correct way to hold it. The blanket should be folded in a special sequence that aids in removal and safe use as you approach a fire. The 2 straps are to be held in each hand and the "packet" should be secured so the retaining clip (press stud) will open when you pull on the straps.

[@donaldmcdaniel1773]

Interesting I'll have to check these out.

[@fubartotale3389]

Actually in the tool trades, diamond is used exclusively for grinding carbide and CBN is used for steel as there is a chemical incompatibility. This might not be a problem with hand sharpening because the low speed involved doesn't create the heat that a spinning wheel does.

[@theredtruckwoodshop2722]

One serious issue with the fire blanket.....it is full of fiberglass and handling it will resuilt in lots of fiber glass in your skin. It is also very loosely attached so when you open the blanket a lot gets out into the air which would be a health hazzard for your lungs. I have another welding blanket i got years ago that doesn't have that issue. Before buying the one on Amazon you may want to check out the reviews...especially the 2 and 1 star reviews. Otherwise the other products look fine. I really like the Harvey feather board like tool although a bit pricey.

[@Tjousk]

Fire blankets are a good thing, but in regards to no expiration date: I've had a couple of these where the pull straps disintegrated due to long term UV exposure - be careful where you put them. (I think it was over 8 years but less than 10 - still extremely good value, and the blanket itself was fine in both cases. Replaced them anyway.)

Similar to the roller guides but a cheaper option are Woodstock Board Buddies. They are one-way wheels that attach to the top of your fence. The cone shaped wheels push your board into the fence and hold it to the table preventing kickback. The advantage to the ones shown in the video is that you can use them for any width board. I've had mine for many years.
