Machine madness

[Eshmiel]

YouBoob used to be a rare thing for me but taking up the spoon carving had me watching lots, as its all about techniques with knives and axes. Whilst sculling about in vid land, many other woodworking subjects were visited in passing. Many exhibit horror-show antics, especially with machines.

Here's an example of someone making a nice wee box. How he still has any fingers left to do so amazes me. As well as "how to make a box" its an object lesson in "how not to do it with machines". I can hardly bear to look!



Anyone else care to post their own horror show of fingers awaiting their end?

Here's a good one, This guy is undeniably good at his job but showing others tools like this grinder with a saw blade on it only encourages others to do the same. The day i saw this vid is the last time i watched him.

If I was risking my fingers that much, it wouldn't be in aid of making an ugly box.

I can hardly bear to look!

I got 11 second in and thought - 'thats enough for me'

Short pieces going through the saw and no riving knife. Sleeves down and coming into close proximity to the moving blade
Bloke is an accident waiting to happen
