Can someone please tell me what this guys point was? Not only cutting the egg but also what the point of filming it was? You know, there are times when I'm a real bonehead but this guy..........

Bet you can't do that on a SawStop!

Nope, what he was thinking is beyond me.

Perhaps, but he sure doesn't deserve them. What a maroon!

He certainly doesn't value his fingers much and I wouldn't care to visit his shop any time after he has trimmed his egg. The rotten food smell could get pretty over powering. Someone had way too much time on their hands to think this stunt up and then actually do it.

Maybe the person did it on a bet. But that does not change the fact that he is stupid.

Totally nuts is right. This guy has a whole web site devoted to unusual ways to open eggs. In English and German no less. At least the home page contains a warning that some of the methods are extremely dangerous etc.

The egg looks hardboiled but it's his brain that's scrambled!:rolleyes:

Actually it's not as bad as it first appears.
He's not using a wood cutting blade, nor even a blade with any teeth. It looks like it might be an abrasive blade, like ones used on tile saws.
Not that I am condoning this action in any way, nor do I think it's all that safe, frankly I think it's utterly pointless.

Edit:After visiting his sight I saw the still picture of the saw, it does have fine teeth, line a panel cutting plade. So I retract my previous statement. He's a bigger idiot that first appeared.

You know, it is said that we all have a purpose in life. This fella's purpose is quite obvious: He does things to make the rest of us feel real smart!:D By George, I think he's succeeded!!!:D :cool:

Frankly I think the world needs people like this - serves as a concrete example of what NOT to do. I think he should buy and hang one of these in his "shop" while he still has fingers to do so.

Take a look at his site:

in particular the one using a ventilator/fan to peel an egg.:eek:


And he will use a lawn mower in June!

I love those demotivators!

The first one a I saw, said something like "Positive thinking: that force in the universe that keeps you from getting up on the roof naked with a deer rifle."

Been a fan ever since.

Yeah, I have been a fan of them for a while as well. No matter how many times I read them, they still make me laugh out loud. For a couple of years I had the "Problems" one hanging in my shop but it got wrecked when I moved.
