Trying to "fix" table saw technology in order to "protect" the consumer is akin to trying to fix stupid. For pitty's sake, take responsibility for removing the blade guard and the splitter. I darn near sliced two finders in two while doing a back-cut on a panel once years ago. I didn't blame anyone; I learned and became more careful. I too would love to see the source for the "10 fingers a day" statistic. That is 3,600 people per year and 36,000 people per decade! I've been building furniture and cabinets for over 20 years and I know a lot of woodworkers; I know of 1 (me) that has hurt himself on a table saw. May we finally stop with the sensationalism and read the manual, or at least take responsibility if we don't?

Fantasic use of recycled lumber. This is a great piece for an entry way or hall. Can you elaborate on the dementions a little. I would like to build something similar for our hall.

Restoring furniture is value added for everyone. The opportunity to save a person's work from the land fill is satisfying; the oppotunity to save a person's family hierlom is gratifying. You can put a price on a piece that evokes memories and keeps the ancestors close.
