Visitor alert

[Webb Willmott]

An unexpected person that enters your shop can be dangerous. Do any of you have something to alert you?

 

[Wally Crawford]

My wife, children, and grandchildren all know that if I am running machinery not to startle me or approach me until I have turned it off. Any stranger walking through my door has other things to worry about.

 

[Tim Hunter]

I’ve used a cow bell on the entry door of two past shops for just such reason.

Isolation works for me.

 

[Fred Hargis]

I don't but I wish I had something. I live in a rural area so the only visitors I've had (to date) were family members, but I'd still like to have some kind of alwarm to let me know they came in. Probably some kind of flashing light since the tools might drown out an audible alarm if they're running.

 

[Brian Gustin]

I'm deaf so I have my workshop organized so that whenever I am working at any tool or workbench, the shop's man door is within my line of sight... I have peripheral vision that is slightly beyond 180 degrees too.. I've had some call it a "sixth sense" that I have to know when someone's behind me... (its hard to sneak up on me!)

 

[John Torchick]

Only visitor would be my wife. When I first started turning, she came in while the lathe was on and tapped my on the shoulder. I told her not to do that again unless she wanted to call 911. Told her to stand off to the side where I could see her. I would know if family was coming and cease anything in the shop to visit.
