Old wood is wery wery dangerous.
Wooden body parts. We had a dismantled car where the logs were damaged. Pieces of wood were next to the car and under it. We wanted to go to lunch, but we smelled smoke. Even though we went around the car several times, nothing was seen anywhere. Then it occurred to me to open a small pile of degraded sawdust and a flame appeared. I think my great-grandchildren would payed for the car back in 3000.
Old wood is wery wery dangerous. Clean work place is one step.

Best fire extinguisher for rags, is a bucket of water into which the rags should be placed, when they have been finished with.

Or your compressor
Quote:
But the reason for this post is that a few years prior, I dodged the fire bullet when one morning when I opened my shop early only to smell burning rubber. My compressor had seized but the motor kept turning and belt was smoldering. It was an old compressor. Subsequently, my new IR replacement threw a rod and seized after 2 years, but I was in the shop at the time. Forensics revealed the rod caps weren't locktited, nor did they have any kind of tab locking washer, absolutely nothing to keep them from loosening. Not coincidentally, I found a guy on eBay who's sold a lot of these exact rods. On my unit the companion rod also had loose nuts, I replaced both rods and locktited. But I still have a reminder note next to the door to kill the compressor before I leave.
