    Mother of all unsafe workers

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp-bQQl3FWY

    I was browsing for home made TS riving knife and this one popped up. Don't know why, but it's a doosey.

    Let's see,

    Balancing a bucket
    No safety glasses
    Foot start with Sandels
    Miter sled AND rip fence cut

    I'm sure I missed some.

    Well, he did show some safety consciousness by standing off to one side so he wouldn't get the cutoff in his gut.

    What does a replacement start cap cost? Less than $10 IIRC. Would sure beat that Rube Goldberg setup for getting it started.

    Give the hardest task to the laziest man and he'll find the easiest way to accomplish it

    That was my first thought. The real kicker was when he started out by saying he was getting into safety, just before he does one unsafe thing after another.

    If the guy spent the time working at McDonald's that he spent working on the saw and motor he could afford a new saw.
    I would make my own capacitors by stacking them until I got the right value if I needed to get a motor going in an emergency but using sandals on his feet, pliers, and bucket with board is way beyond the pale.

    I've seen that one before. I just can't watch. How can one person do so many things wrong within such a short period of time? When he gets beaned by a kickback he'll scream unsafe tablesaw and order an EZ ;-)

    Is this the same guy who turned a miniature baseball bat on the lathe?

    If not, they could have been brothers. Some of the most absurd machinery use I have ever seen!!!

    This is a joke - right ?? I think the gene pool is getting watered down !!

  10. It's too late for that. This guy's already reproduced.

    Anything that happens to you after you're done having children is evolutionarily insignificant.

    amazing.
    somewhere somebody is editing a 'user manual' to include all his errors.

    i also truly hope his daughter was not still sitting behind the saw when he was using the rip fence AND mitre gauge ...

    See, this is why you see all those bizar warning on lables and manuals. You know, like don't stand in water when pluging in an extension cord.

    He did show some pretty amazing balance and dexterity while standing on one foot, using the other to turn the motor and holding the belts with pliers at the same time. I don't think I could do that.

    But, someone ought to kick his nether region very forcefully for doing all those dangeous acts with that little girl seated in the line of fire.

    I wonder what kind of stupid stuff he did befoe he "really started getting into safety."
