WOW! What a nut! I couldn't watch it after the first cove cut. It made me grit my teeth. Who is this nut case anyway?

Well, there are some things I sure would do differently. I fear or have a healthy respect for power tools. Then again some of the videos by Bob & Rick make me shudder involuntarily also.

There was one video that really mad me wince, the link was posted on another forum.
It seems still available.

Now tell me that don't make you wince as well!

Isn't there an old saying just for something like this? "Can't fix stupid".

I thought about watching his video for making a chessboard? but couldn't work up the courage.

Anyone taking odds on how long he will have all ten?

Gerard,
That shorty reminded me of when I was a kid and what I did to get my old VW running.

My parents house is on a hill, I used to turn the ignition on, depress the clutch pedal with a 2X4 and push the VW over the hill. I'd jump in, kick the 2X4 off the clutch and gun the engine. As soon as it started I'd hit the brake so I didn't run into the woods.

The neighbors liked to watch and take bets on whether I'd end up in the woods.

And if ..It didn't start? I threw the 2x4 out as sort of a drag chute, before I rolled into the trees! We weren't "stupid" then just younger.

I have to disagree with that statement.....

it should have had a period after the word 'woodworking'.
He should not be showing dangerous procedure ANYWHERE.
My father , in the 1930's in highschool , lost the tip of his left thumb to a kickback on a tablesaw..and he was left handed. You can imagine how careful I have been growing up with his thumb as a constant reminder.
