I used to think that cleanliness in a cabinet door shop was just a result of me being overly tidy and obsessive toward things being in order.

After this little incident I have recognized the need for strict cleanliness all around. If there would have been a pile of sawdust next to this bad boy I would have had a wake up call from the fire dept. letting me know that the business I have been putting my heart and soul into was instantly a pile of ashes. For some reason the water leaked enough to get the power cord wet and the picture pretty much sums up what happened from there. The moral to the story is that it is imperative that we are clean and tidy in the woodworking industry. It’s not just something the overachievers do!
