3 times since the weekend, I have been out in the shop and smelled what seemed like plastic burning.. Not an exact description.. but kinda like that ..
Anyone who has imagined that smell.. or any smoke smell probably understand the anxiety that pulses through the veins ..
Tonight, as I was searching the shop, looking for an electrical short or a hot wire, it occurred to me that I was running the sander each time its happened.. So I did a thorough inspection .. looking for a problem.. nothing ..
Finally I called my wife.. asked if she smelled anything.. She said " not smoke, but it smells weird out here" .. She picks up a piece of Afromosia which had just exited the sander and said " Its this wood " ..
I was wondering if anyone had ever noticed it before. It was quite calming to realize that hot Afromosia smells like an electrical fire to a paranoid person ( to anyone else its just a weird smell ) ..
