2b. An Electronic Safety Feature

As our woodshop became equipped with a table saw, drill press, and chop saw, parents and others became concerned that our children would become fascinated and tempted to play with the power tools. An initial response was to lock the wood shop but that was considered an inconvenience by those who use the shop. So Chuck, from our Facilities team, who happens to be an electronics engineer by training, designed and built a circuit control box that could be programmed to limit access to the power tools. Another small miracle is accomplished.
