This is intended as my last comment on this post as it is quite frankly boring, but to not respond would be to grant some kind of tacit approval or agreement to the diatribe that has been posted.
Philip, you have succinctly failed to back up your claim that it is disturbing that Richard has posted the video.
In your posts, which frankly, I cannot understand what you are trying to prove or debate, you have found my video and attacked me in turn after some trite ramblings about the third world and justifying your comments by stating your employment position of which I have little interest.
My video was not made as an instructional video. I would not expect my sons to use the techniques in the video as much as I wouldn’t expect them to drive as they do in their favourite film, the Blues Brothers, they appear to have more common sense than a vast percentage of the adult population. I think they have watched Rambo but I have not bought them an air rifle yet, perhaps I should, then I could sue the director if they committed carnage. It is not yet a defence which has stood up in court!
Let me drift back to the comments you make about the personality driven world. I don’t know, nor care what you are trying to infer, if it’s me who is trying to (using your phrase) “”big oneself up”, so I thought that I would make my position on this point clear. What you think of me is your problem and yours alone. I care not what you think of me, the only people who I care about in this respect is my wife and my two boys.
You encourage Richard and Jon to comment on my video, I think they have probably got a thousand better things to do, both more profitable and more enjoyable. However, if you knew the machine I was using you would know that some of the pompous comments you make about bandsaw safety are unachievable, and anyway if your assertions were correct then I should be commended for trying to rectify my large fingers, sadly I failed, they are still the same size!
If your defence to this nonsense is one of debate and provocation I think that you have badly mistaken the reading population who I think have found this tedious.
To Loz and others, I apologise if you believe I have swayed from the boundaries of civility but it was not I who attacked Richard’s professional integrity.
