What is one small safety improvement you’ve seen in a woodworking/manufacturing shop that made a surprisingly big difference?

I’m especially interested in things people tend to overlook — workstation layout, jigs/fixtures, material handling, pinch points, kickback zones, dust, tool storage, cutting tools, PPE, etc. Not looking for generic “wear PPE” advice — I’m looking for practical changes that eliminate or reduce the hazard.

Kumiko Sliding Door Cabinet made on Altmill 4X8 :)

Designed in Fusion360 and cut mainly on the Altmill 4x8. Sanding the pockets was way more tedious than I was expecting 😅

Black lines on a vcarving?

Ok if you are using a fine 30degree vbit and you want your lines to stand out on light color wood what are you using to color the vcarve lines? I've tried stain with a powder pigment and I don't like the results. Considering epoxy but it's pricey for use on twenty dollar carvings.
