To quote Jerfi2003 We are increasingly becoming a nation of children dependent on our government to "keep us safe".
Living in a Veterans home I see this all the time. Now they want to take away "Bar Soap" (whats next? the water). We served for one reason. It is called "FREEDOM" from government telling us what to do or say. I am on the side of get out of my live. When I hurt myself "it most often was my doing". After 70 years of woodworking I still can count to ten without taking my shoes off. Lucky, maybe

Re: Woodworking at Veteran's Hospital

Tim,
Richard is right. I am one of those Veterans in a Vets Home & have done lots of these glue up projects. I only have the right side of my brain to work with. Now I design on Shetchup And then try to build. Works so far.
Remember the "government" or powers to be always look for away to say NO. They almost always hide behind the Safety issue. I aways ask "Why do we have Knifes & forks to eat with as they are saftey hazzards". Have not gotten an answer & no not expect one. Have learned alot from you & Dave Thank You & keep it up.

Re: Tablesaw Safety Goes Under the Microscope--Again

This is your government at "work". Living in a Veterans Nursing Home I see this all the time. Governments answer to every thing is "taht it away" it is a savety issue. I see it every day around here. Keep asking when they are going to take away the knifes & forks from the table? As I see a savety hazzard, Next it will be our wheel chairs (might fall out of them). Damn "do gooders" as I call them. I also have operated Table Saws for over 60 years and still have all ten (10) of my fingers.

Re: Episode Two: Rough Cut Woodworking with Tommy Mac

Watched for the first time today. Have to agree with all of the above. Thought about switching channels more than one time, but did watch to the end. May watch one more show next week & then again may not. Over all did not think much of it.
