Quick Video Update

The completion of Woodworker’s Safety Week 2008 was met with a sort of quiet melancholy. Al from SandalWoods Blog emailed me looking for closure. Dave from Modern Woodshop likened it to the day after Christmas. Don’t worry guys, we will all get through this together! lol
So when one door closes, another door opens. This Safety Week experiment has laid the groundwork for future events, which I discuss in the video. Thanks to everyone who participated, bloggers and readers alike. Without you guys, this would have been nothing more than me telling Nicole how to avoid getting hurt with tools she never plans on using.

In the years since I started woodworking, I have only had a few close calls. Fortunately, most of my injuries have been minor. Most of those injuries took place early in my career before I knew anything about anything. This video will show you some of the stupid mistakes I’ve made, what happened to me, and how I avoid repeating those mistakes.

Episode 51- Tablesaw Experience

Whenever I have a new student in the shop, I try to convey what if feels like when something is going wrong on the tablesaw. This may seem like an abstract idea, but knowing how to identify a problem before it goes too far could give you that extra second or two you need to prevent disaster.
