Unbelievable, but the comments are great!

Sadly, someone somewhere will copy this

Can't believe he shows me how to run a nut down a set screw , screw screws in then skips how to create a slot and the other missing bit of video is the trip to A&E

 

[TRITON]

Horrific.

At least anyone seeing this vid, upon reading the comments is unlikely to try to recreate it.

Best comment " I did the exact same thing , except with a 400hp outboard and a roller skate "

That angle grinder sounds slow, something not right and how many people with a real wood work lathe run at 11000 Rpm ?

 

[Fitzroy]

That is terrifying! I can only imaging the grimace on the persons face using it and hoping it doesn't all go wrong before they finish recording, and the relief at putting it in the bin afterwards now they have the clickbait video in the can.

He doesn't show the burnt end from the not so live centre on the tail stock
Anyone else notice he was using dry wall screws? That's definately a ticking bomb waiting to explode.

Can't drill a perpendicular hole to save his life.

Let's let nature take its course and take him and his imitators out. The world is overpopulated and is better off without them.

You see to know a fair bit, perhaps it came from your garage!!

There's too much saw dust and shavings in my garage for that

His latest addition is a rubber backed flap wheel to screw blanks to for bowl turning

Dear Phil;
You owe me 9 minutes 21 seconds. Where do I send an invoice!!

 

[Garden Shed Projects]

I have always thought that woodworking machinery manufacturers don’t use enough dry wall screws. Sounds like the bearings in the grinder are going just to ad another level of jeopardy.

Good work, Darwin Award nominee in the making.

I think it's actually a polisher, hence the slower speed. Not that that makes the idea any less monumentally stupid !

 

[Fergie 307]

Love how he pans slowly once it's all together, presumably so you can show an appropriate level of admiration for his handiwork I was just itching to see him try it at full chat, and watch it disintegrate

This is the problem with modern safety standards; it keeps imbeciles alive long enough to allow them to do really dumb things

 

[Spectric]

Nothing is dangerous anymore because too many people who play computer games believe they get a second chance at the push of a button.

 

[baldkev]

Thanks for this phil, it'll work a treat with my petrol disc cutter

 

[Inspector]

I wonder, could I convert my lathe into an angle grinder???
