Re: Could This Tool Change Everything?

Nicely done. However I was concerned that the short length of the work piece might have kicked back unexpectedly, turning a spoof into an accident. After teaching a construction program for 26 years at a local community college, I've witnessed many accidents that shouldn't have happened. Thanks for the fun.

Re: More Details on the Carlos Osorio Tablesaw Lawsuit

I taught hundreds of students over a period of 26 years and never once did a situation like this occur. I agree that training in the this case was grievously lacking. But then again there is such a thing as stupidity. Should a manufacturer be penalized for an individual's lack of brains? Mr. Osorio certainly had plenty of warning that the machine was not responding to being forced.

Re: Fancy Footwork

I have taught residential construction for 26 years at Olympic College and all through those years students were convinced that the "magic" was in the tools. This video clearly demonstrates that a little determination and a whole lot of practice can produce wonders. Thanks for sharing. Now I'll go back to my electrically powered lathe and marvel at this artisan's skill.
