      I am new to woodworking. Thank you for producing such an informative interesting and accurate video's. I have been watching hundreds of woodworking video's over the last few months (I have kind of been obsessing.) and the safety rule violations I see are cringeworthy. I believe anyone using a table saw without a riveting knife or blade guard shouldn't be making videos.
      The thing is, my wife has put her foot down about me buying a table saw. I am talking escalation like threatening divorce level. The question I have is the following. If I make her a promise to NEVER EVER remove the riveting knife or blade guard, just how badly am I limiting myself? That is, I have heard some kinds of cuts require removing the blade guard. Is there a way to make that absolutely never required? I have plenty of money, so getting a saw stop and special push blocks, fancy special blade guards etc. isn't an issue. The real problem is being able to satisfy my lady that I won't go out in the garage and come back with one or both arms amputated to the elbow. I am an engineer by trade so a hand injury could very well end my ability to work.

      @@edreusser4741 - A SawStop table saw literally can not cut your fingers off. That eliminates 95% of the danger of a table saw. The only other danger that remains is a freak accident like a strong kickback that strikes you and breaks a bone. But a riving knife all but eliminates that danger as well. In my opinion, a SawStop table saw is one of the safest tools in the shop. If she need convincing, take her to a woodworking show (when they happen again) and let her watch a demo. Seeing it in person usually is a game changer :) (I am not sponsored or paid by SawStop)

      @@edreusser4741 The SawStop is the table saw for you. Woodworking without 100% of all after guards in place is something that I have seen in many many shops. Please do not simply disregard someones video for (what may seem to be) lack of safety. Guards are often removed for video only so that it's easier for the viewer to see the process. Other times, the operator may have sufficient experience with an operation and feel them unnecessary. This often comes with time and a great deal of respect for the capability of the tool In use. But beyond simply watching a video for safety flaws, many of these woodworkers have an incredible wealth of knowledge they are willing to pass along to others. They have taken the time to demonstrate and educate and do so at their own cost, both fiscally and physically. Watch with an open mind and take only the positive you need from their offerings to improve your own work and techniques. Enjoy your new tools and the projects you create with them.

    James,
    I found your channel about a year ago and it has become my favorite, Go-To channel for useful information. I am a 64 year old physician who learned woodworking as a kid from my father, who learned it from his grandfather, who was a cabinet maker in the late 1800's to early 1900's. I took a long hiatus from woodworking to become an eye surgeon, but I am now re-creating a dream shop in my garage in preparation for quasi-retirement. I shared that bit of history to legitimize my next comments. My father had a bit of a tremor, I have a sister with Parkinson's Disease and two of my 5 children have benign essential tremor. I have been blessed with rock solid hands, but that is simply by God's grace. I have noticed your tremor and went back to review your prior open book video about it. Kudos for sharing that video and the video of your recent injury. This type of honesty carries with it a strong bond to your viewers and puts you in rarefied air in comparison to most "instructors". I would like to comment on the suggestion from one of your viewers who indicated propranolol can be helpful in your situation. I would agree whole-heartedly. It is fairly benign, but should only be used with the clearance from a good physician who would check for any other systemic contraindications. While you are obviously a skilled woodworker, there are some tasks which would be a bit easier without the tremor. Not an unreasonable consideration for you. It would also keep know-it-alls from making stupid comments as if they did not have any liabilities of their own. We all do.

    • @thomasarussellsr
      @thomasarussellsr 4 года назад +1

      Well said, thank you sir. I too have tremors in my hands. The only time they seem to fade is when this old Army Sniper/woodworker is holding a rifle or paring chisel.
      I was wondering if this is common with tremors, for them to almost fade when muscle memory kicks in for certain tasks?

    So much so, that I’m now in possession of all 3 straight edges, the Dura-Grit kit, additional 1-2-3’s with and without holes, the iGaging Squares (combo & double) and two new Hedgehogs (all via the links!).
    Please keep up the amazing work, the earnest dedication and the rapid healing!

    That square is nice but Starrett is hard to beat. As a young machinist I bought cheap tools at first then I replaced them with Mitutoyo stuff, then as a journeyman tool and die maker I went and spent the money on Starrett. Very nice tools indeed. Now as a garage maker i can spot nice tools that aren't necessarily all that expensive. Thank you for your review.

    I work in metalworking and metrology. I want to caution you about the way you are using the 123 blocks. 123 blocks are going to be flat, parallel, and perpendicular within small tolerances. But they are not guaranteed in size to be 1.0000 x 2.0000 x 3.0000. The size could be larger or small by up to .005 typically. For exact sizes, look up Gauge Blocks (also called Jo Blocks). Although you wouldn't use them for the applications you're using. Also look up paired 123 blocks, which is a set of 2 or 3 blocks that will be the same size within a small tolerances. You can use them to set up larger surfaces across multiple blocks and know you're getting good parallelism.

A hint, if you do not hold the ruler when tightening the nut it will tighten without the slop. Like them and they have shown themselves to be square when doing the knife test. Thanks for the recommendation they will be on my bench as regular members of the crew.

  • @lstevens1512
    @lstevens1512 4 года назад +1

    Good info. 1st one I seen of yours. Starrett, Fowler, Mitutoyo are some of the very well known names in any machine shop industry. Very high Precision quality tools and very long lasting if taken care of properly.
    Have you looked into double faced hammers/mallets? Wood hammers seem pretty common but double faced hammers have replaceable tips on the head. Some may be too light for certain wood working but others should have plenty head weight for heavier hits. They are very commonly used in a machine shop. Hard plastic tips can harm your wood handles.

  • @tpobrienjr

    Lots of youtube demonstrations show a user looking over a setup block set to see if the blade/bit is set right. I have found that I can use a bar on top of the stack to get the height just right by feel. I just swing the bar over the blade/bit and adjust until it just touches. Works with 1 2 3 blocks as well. Adjusting by sight doesn't work as well for me. Thanks for the good video.
