Go to Post Whatever you do, make it idiot-proof. Not because your drivers are idiots, but because the fewer precision maneuvers they have to do, the more awesome driving (and scoring!) they have time to do. - Ian Curtis [more]

Our wrokshop sponsor, Brown & Root has become more and more strict about who can use the big machines. First year, just about anyone could use them. Of course, the we were dulling and clogging bits + tools like crazy. Second year, only veterans could use them, until someone left a chuck key in a lathe. Twice.
Now we've got spring loaded chuck keys, and only a specific few are allowed to machine things or supervise others machining things. Of course some know-it-alls still try to do tings themselves. Last week one of them managed to snap a cut-off tool in half on the lathe. While they were machining delrin.
So in conclusion, we've been put under progressively more strict rules every year, and I think it's really a good thing. It protects the kids and the tools, and encourages people to draw and dimension things instead of making things up as they go.
