Dude. Tw words: Push Stick. This vid is a masterclass in unsafe practices. If you’re not going to do it for yourself, do it for your viewers, especially the beginners.
Finally I find a real big carpentry in America . But that is not yours, you rent in there , or . Beautiful Formatkreisäge , did not know that there is something like this in America. Nice frame, good work! Grüße aus Gremany!
Hey buddy watched all your vids a few times now. Love your work. Wondering if you're planning on creating more videos? I'd actually like a shop tour. I'm very interested in the machines you use.
hey directorgtr, i might be doing a shop tour in the future, i am actually building a shop in the garage. so once i am set up, ill start to build again. i just got the electrical put in. sorry for the delay.
+Broken Edge Designs Sounds excellent my man. I just completed insulating the walls and attic and put up drywall on the walls and ceiling. It's gonna be a great place to work now! Just gotta get myself a nice 80K btu heater in there for my cold Wisconsin winters then I'll be set... aside from purchasing a few more used woodworking machines and typical hand tools.
I got lucky and will have all my grandpas woodworking equipment. Custom furniture artist for 70 years as a hobby but he has decent machines. Still gotta buy them from him but at a grandson discount haha my wife doesn't like me racking up any bills :0
Besides not using a push stick as mentioned by others, what's with the spring clamp on the blade guard! Not that we all haven't done it, or something similar. *cough* But in a teaching video....
Beautiful. In the construction process would you do anything different if this mirror were going on a 3 season porch, not in direct contact with the elements, in a 4 season climate?
That frame is perfect. I have some similar wood and am going to build one this weekend. Do you remember what the widths of your mitered pieces are. My mirror is a litter bigger, but your frame is the perfect size. Maybe 3 inches for the inside pieces and 1.5 inches for the outside pieces?
Very nice equipment to make just about anything.. 99.99% of people don't have that equipment and the few that do certainly would know how to make a frame. :)
Very well made! Your clamps are impressive!! Your workmanship is exemplary. However, don't be macho about safety. No goggles, no earmuffs, no push stick. This part is amateur. Does it take deafness, blindness, and fingers chopped off to learn about safety? Real pros don't take chances. Those who do, have a secret death wish. We would not want to see such a good woodworker being injured or blinded. Be safe.
Nice work man, I find myself pulling splinters out of my fingers a quite a bit while working with reclaimed wood. What's the name and source for the Z type track?
Every woodworker should be wrapped in bubble wrap for safety. 40 years of woodworking and I have never been bitten by a blade...... My question is what do you wonders of wood working do to defend yourselves from those dreaded slivers?
Mucha maquiina cara un taller impresionante pero la verdad que es muy basico lo tuyo. Hay carpinteros que con un serrucho un par de formones y madera hacen trabajos diez veces mejores. Saludos desde Argentina.
May I draw your attention to his hands! Ladies and gentlemen, notice that he still has ALL his fingers! So much for safety rules. When you know what you're doing you don't need all that foo-fer-all!
you do it 24/7 and look damn good at doing it. The problem is if something happens, will you be able to continue your work? is it worth the risk to save a few seconds per cut? if you jump out of a plane, your only option to make it a bit safer is to use a parachute. the way to make it indefinitely safe is to just not jump.
:) Developing a series of databases for workplace safety, I've seen 'far more' than my share of severed and mangled digits and hands/limbs from Industrial accidents. A good many are of people who are in similar environments (high volume, specialized) and some of them with more tool experience than your years here on this earth. They too were very aware of their limits until of course, something small happened that was 'just beyond' their control, ultimately ending in disaster. Pushing your fingers down into pieces of wood and over the blade is the big one for me. Those photos were 'spectacularly interesting' and included some of the oddest Rips (not cuts) and bone Fractures that I ever catalogued from workshop accidents. Oddly it's not the missing or partial digits that keeps someone out of the shop, but the subsequent nerve damage that ends a career. Anyway, Good Luck!
Complacency is the word here. A colleague of mine never used a push stick as he also did this “24/7” He now has two fingers. Man, what’s a few extra minutes on cutting times ....
The amount of risk that is acceptable to take from one person to the next is all relative on your level of experience and talent. Who is anyone to tell a professional what is and what isn't an acceptable level of risk to take in his or hers field of work? Keep up the good work brother!
+Larché Jacques Clarel Yup, a 2x4 kicked up from the saw, without even thinking I pushed it back down and the blade came through and bit off the tip of my middle finger. Greatful it was just the tip!
You do some awesome stuff with this wood. I made some pallet wood shelves for a customer in one of my videos and they look like total crap in comparison to your stuff haha.
I know it’s a production shop and time is money. Yet the first time you lose that finger, nothing is worth the time saved. Amazing infrastructure nevertheless.
great work my man! I really enjoy your videos... I'm really impressed with that system you use to hang the mirrors on the wall... Sorry you're getting assaulted buy the safety police LOL
no problem glad you liked the video. lol i wish i had all this stuff.. its the company that i worked for. im building up my garage and ill be making videos from home.
