There is a post on youtube that suggests that the video should be taken down. I cannot agree more. What this person shows is so dangerous I am surprised the Youtube people let it be posted. As several have pointed out push sticks would be infnitely safer. On my favorite "newscast" he would definitely be "The Worst Person in the World"!

I am pleased that so many of our members have posted on this thread. This shows that our message of safe woodworking is getting around. So now please take the time to help spread the word by posting comments on both of the sites. While I am not surprised that U tube would allow the video I was stunned to watch a senior designer at Woodsmith put his fingers with in 1/2" of a table saw blade and different router bits. I posted my thoughts on these sites and I hope you will help spread the word.

There are some things in life that when you are going through it,you think are unfair,or terrible.Then when you get older you thank god for those experiances. I grew up in rural Arkansas. The only thing I could pick up on the rabbit ears was PBS. All I can say now is thank God for that.This Old House,Hometime,and NYWS was what I had to look forward to growing up in an old beat up farm house that I was determined to fix up just as soon as I was old enough."I was around 7" I have fond memories of those shows and more importantly,a great respect for power tools,doing the job right and most of all I still remember word for word what norm said before he ever got close to the tools every week. It's engrained.Those guys are the reason that I still have all 10 fingers.
