Home machine shop fire safety

[fjk]

A lot of the advice is good for reasons in addition to mitigating fire risk

Working in a clean, well lit, shop is much more fun than struggling in a dingy pit piled high with stuff

stopping work when you get tired, frustrated, or have an adult beverage reduces the error count

cleaning up at the end of the day can be done while waiting to see if anything is smoldering

used/etc oily rags should be thrown in a garbage can .lot keep the shop clean ... so making it a flameproof one is just as easy as a flame-enhancing one

and so on
