Re: Could This Tool Change Everything?

Why do I wish the CPSC in Hell? Intelligent people can look at a device and decide what the risk is. Giving this task to a "commision" is something I hate worse than death.

Ich hasse CPSC.
Anybody remember the "Backward Bike"?

Re: Video: Clever Sled for Curved Bevels on the Tablesaw

Beauty in the eye of the beholder... Safety relative to the doer. The technique looks like one I'll keep in mind/on file. If you're a klutz, do not take a racing motorcycle to a track on weekends for recreation. Probably, you shouldn't try mountain climbing. Evaluate your coordination and stay a little on the safe side so you can keep doing your thing into old age. Some people should not use this technique. Some people should never use a table saw less safe than a Saw Stop. Damned if I'd pay the money for this device. After more than fifty years on the table saw, I'll take my chances. I think his technique can be classified as a responsible presentation. Use your own discretion.

Re: Reader Says Mythbusters Missed on Hammer Strikes

Anybody with these reports of dire happenings wearing safety glasses or just spectacles? If you break up concrete with a sledge hammer would you wear safety glasses or conclude that one shouldn't break up concrete with a sledge hammer in the first place? C'mon guys, suggesting that nobody is going to drive the claws of a claw hammer under a spike with another claw hammer is living in a dream world. Wear eye protection and get to work.
