I noticed in the Feb/Mar 20 issue a few photos of woodworkers wearing wedding rings. In my first shop class and in every one thereafter, the instructor threatened to fail anyone found to be wearing any jewelry. We old-timers should remove all jewelry as second nature; but newbies may need to be reminded.

You’re right. It’s a smart practice to remove rings and other jewelry when working with power tools. Your eagle-eye is keeping us honest.
