This guy takes insane risks on that table saw. If we are instructing on tool usage, we should always demonstrate impeccable safety practices because the noobs don't know what they don't know. All you need is one off-day, one distraction and your life will change forever. It's not a question of "if". It's a question of "when". You can get away with it for years and even decades, but that one off-day will come.
I have been working with wood for 14 years and so far I still have all my fingers. Some shots are sped up, so it looks a bit reckless, but the basic safety rule is mainly knowing what I'm doing and focusing on it.
@@joe_ocenas I hear you, Joe, but what I found after 30 years of woodworking is that focus is a variable, since we are all human. I went 30 years without incident until one day I touched the blade at exactly the same time that it almost stopped rotating. I was shocked at my lapse in judgment. I’m always impeccable in safety measures yet that one day I came within 1 second of a serious injury , just because my mind was uncharacteristically distracted. I guess the point I want to make is that it’s always best to operate with the widest margin of error possible, just to gain that 1 second when it’s needed. It took me 30 years of a perfect record until I touched that blade. Just like with motorcycles, aviation, and other inherently dangerous activities, confidence can kill or maim. It’s the confidence itself that brings one to smaller and smaller margins of safety. You’re obviously a master at your craft ( I say that sincerely), but as the official Internet Safety Police, I think it’s not a bad idea for me remind the newer guys how hungry the table saw is and how instantaneously bad things can happen. Leave a wide, wide margin of error for that one bad day, guys.
Loved this video. Told the story well without words, beautiful design and execution….perfect music choice too. I’m just wondering what magnets you used, because I just did the same exact design, but the ⅝” neodymium magnets I ordered were not strong enough to hold the weight of the 2” hose (horizontally). Also, did those magnets stay in with just a pressure fit and no glue?
I'm not a guitar player but I appreciate fine instruments and woodworking projects! At 3:16 I can't help but look at the grain pattern and think to myself that I would have joined the far left to the far right. It wouldn't have been "book matched" but it would have been sort of a book match.
I bought some from Amazon. They were $50. and were for the 2 1/2" hose for my router. If there was even a slight bend in the hose, it came disconnected. While I was attaching it to the hose, I dropped it and a piece broke off. Appears to be from a 3D printer. They were yellow if you see them there. Brand says Generic. I sent it back, useless. If they said they'd refund me and I could keep it, I wouldn't use it.
Really love your video and have subscribed to your channel! I don’t agree with all the concerns raised about watching your fingers etc. you captured the work piece and worked gradually to perfect your piece. Can you share more about the source of the magnets used and also the sealing tape? With your permission I would love to make some of these for my shop! Thanks for the video it is very informative!
@@garylarsen4038 thank you, for sealing I used PVC tape for air ducts and the magnets are neodymium, diameter 15 mm x 6 mm,,, for 5 flanges the price is max 5 euros/usd if you have scraps from plywood
Not the only custom designed finger remover on youtube, but may be a unique one. Genuinely sorry if there are hurt feelings, but please don't ever use a table saw this way. A spinning wheel that's designed very well to draw fingers directly into the blade. Very little margin for error
I thought the same. While it is ok to turn material into the blade (from a technical standpoint), the risk of getting your fingers drawn in is incredibly high. The only practical way to do this is, to turn the wood on the right side with an additional solid rest for the turning hand, so that it can't be pulled towards the blade.
Great skill and patience! You take some extra steps that on the surface seem unnecessary, but make the end product look good and professional. That's a sign of a great craftsman.
I guess a workshop build takes a helluva lot longer than a guitar build... I feel cheated being left at a cliffhanger but I guess the quality of your build will be well worth the wait. P.S. I have a guitar build I'm currently doing on my knees but I've ordered a table vise I will add to a mini workbench that I will need first for the more precise work so I get why a workshop is necessary. Can't wait to see your progress.
Nice build! May I ask, what is the remaining thickness at the top and bottom of the tele after chambering? I mean the flat parts (where the pickups are and the other side)
