Shop safety?

If you saw someone using a bandsaw trying to cut fine curves in 2" pine,
with an inch deep blade, rather than the 3/8" deep one in the machine
behind, with the guard 5-6" above the wood and the user not wearing eye
protection, what would you say?

I think that guy is on TV, The Junk Brothers. They do that stuff
every week. Those guys are worse craftsmen than I am!

Nothing. I would wait until he turned the saw off so as not to distract
him.

It depends...

Am I his boss? A co-worker? The UPS driver delivering a package? The
OSHA inspector? Collecting $2 on my paper route?

Excellent! I have a few disaster stories to tell. Most medical folks
will share stories too.
