      John has made numerous comments in the past about his knowledge of safety and good practices. The main thing is not the tools but one's attitude and thoughtfulness that you bring to bear when using tools. If you know anything about John you will know that he has been making his living doing this stuff for about 40 years and still has all his fingers intact.
      I understand the unease that you are feeling. My saw still scares me everytime I use it even after my 40 years of using it. That's what keeps my fingers still attached to my hand despite also not using a riving knife.
      I have been hurt by tools; but they all have been hand tools and because I did not fear them enough or had been inattentive while using them.
      Still, we all have our ways and you can and should use whatever way you wish to keep your blood from leaking out.

I wish more woodworkers showed us novices how to handle the bad situations instead of editing out the imperfections. Like it or not, you internet guys are our teachers. We don't have anyone else.
