Re: A note of caution
Thanks for the well?wishes. I will pass them along. He is stable this morning, with a killer headache. They will be keeping him a while to monitor the bleeding.
TJ, good reminder. It's good to listen to yourself. I always seem to know beforehand when I'm about to do something stupid. Sometimes I can't focus on things, I just leave and come back later. Or tomorrow.? I see the value of the Apple watch now. I don't know if I can bring myself to buy one though. Hopefully Android watches copy that feature. Jason Holtz J.

Felder comfort rolling carriage
#forsale
Hi there Felder group,?
My first post here to the group, but I've been enjoying reading the conversations since I joined a few months ago. I have a Felder Comfort Rolling Carriage for sale, in almost mint condition. It was fitted to my CF 531 which I've just installed Zambus castors to so I no longer need it. Here is a link for the item on the Felder shop.? $180 to the lucky new owner. |

Re: A note of caution
开云体育Years ago my father was on a ladder on a lower roof working on the second story and the ladder slid out from under him.? This was in the days before cell phones. ??In the fall his leg was tangled in the ladder and it crushed his ankle.? He had to wait on the roof for 5 hours for my mother to get home to call for help. Agony. ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]>

Re: A note of caution
开云体育Jason, thanks for this. I am guilty too often of doing things while alone in the shop that would be better with help.? As I get older and weaker I am better as having my son in law come over to lend a hand but just this week I was up on a ladder awkwardly getting lumber down. ?In hindsight I should not have done it alone. ?

Re: A note of caution
That’s a good reminder, thanks Jason. When Apple came out with their series 4 Apple Watch with fall detection both my wife and I got them and had my 90+ Yr old parents buy them as well. If the watch detects a fall, it ask if your ok, if you don’t respond within 60 seconds it will call 911 and give them your gps location and call the emergency contact person you list as well. Gives me some peace of mind knowing that if my parents fall I will be notified and yes, if I fell in my hobby shop my wife would be alerted ?

Yesterday in the shop, there were three of us fortunately. I'm usually aware of my surroundings and am quick to offer help before someone asks for it. Not yesterday though. I was applying finish, had my earphones on in my own world. That's when I heard the crash from across the shop. My shop mate had been on a ladder getting some wood off of the storage rack. We found him on the floor on his back, twisted up in a pile of wood and the ladder. He was unconscious and bleeding badly from the back of his head. Called 911. We got all the wood/ladder moved off of him and I rolled him to his side and applied pressure to his wound to stop the bleeding. I kept talking to him and he came to, and was totally incoherent for a couple minutes. He started to make some sense after a couple minutes, but had no idea what happened. The paramedics arrived within 10 minutes. They put a neck brace on him and got him sitting up for a minute, but he was very nauseous. They then put him on a gurney and took him out to the ambulance where they checked him out further. Ended up at HCMC, a level one trauma center. CT scan showed a brain bleed and skull fractures. His cognitive test results were good. Hoping for the best. He may be there a while. I shudder to think about if he would have been in the shop alone.? Please check your risk factors. Ask for help when you need it. Your friends and family want you around. Jason ? -- Jason J. Holtz Furniture 3307 Snelling Ave. South Minneapolis, MN 55406 |

For Folks Who Complain about Felder Service
开云体育I honestly received this pic from an OEM regarding motor connections. Below is what original connections look like. I seriously was shocked beyond belief and literally thought the tech was starting with a joke to be followed by actual information. The icing was this statement, “Make sure all your wires match those in the attached document as closely as possible.” “As closely as possible” is not how one should make electrical connections. BTW, the blue wire on bottom right is pointed straight down now ? Imran |

Re: motor(s) overheating on vintage SCM Minimax
开云体育Oh! service rating is S followed by a number, e.g., S6. There is a nice concise chart that John Kee posted but this is what I could find. Imran? On Jan 22, 2021, at 8:06 AM, imranindiana via groups.io <imranindiana@...> wrote:
