Yeah, well, usually all of the chairs are full of bits and pieces of wood or small tools. Just another form of flat surface, a little too low to use as a workbench.

you mean I'm not the only one that does that?

I thought is was only my shop that had problems with "stuff" landing on most horizontal surfaces. I did mount a TV on the wall, there are plenty of times I am not running machines where I like to have on a show. I don't think many people are injured because they have a TV on while sanding, picking up the shop, or just thinking (I don't get accused of doing that very much).
Thee is a new product put out by a company called TV Stop. The way it works, the TV is wired to the blade of your table saw. As soon as wood contacts the blade, the TV is tossed to the floor so as not to distract you. They have been trying to license the product to all table saw makers, but so far with little luck. The government is going to mandate that all power tools be equipped with TV Stop in 2006.
Coming soon, Beer Stop.
Fantastic! Where can I buy one?
Shouldn't it, you know, work first?
Not a bad idea, that one.
Damned expensive this cutting wood is going to be. I am sure the owner is altruistic in that he only wants to protect you from exposure to ED, Vioxx and other dangerous drugs, right?

What do you want a TV and DVD in the shop for? Learning videos?
On Sundays during the holy season I like to take the portable TV in the shop to watch the Washington Redskins while I'm puttering. Most of this season I've had to turn the sound down and it hasn't been a distraction at all, unfortunately. :-(

Being a 49'er fan, this year has been a breeze in the shop!

Excellent thought.
They also work all right for bench grinders, and they're easy to clean!
