Cutoffs

Several years ago, I was down in my shop cleaning some rust off an old hand plane. As I went along, I tossed the used pieces of steel wool into a pile on the end of my bench. Suddenly, as if by magic, the pile of steel wool burst into a ball of fire.

The "magic" turned out to be a seemingly harmless, cordless drill battery lying on the bench. Some of the steel wool had touched the battery contacts. The electric charge instantly ignited the steel wool like tinder. Fortunately, after a moment of stunned shock, I was able to smother the smoldering steel wool before anything else caught on fire.

The next morning, I went out and purchased what's now the most important tool in my shop — a fire extinguisher. To find out more, check out the article that begins on page 42.
