The backwards feather board application for cutting thin strips is genius. I always see a “simple” method like this and wonder why I didn’t think of that. Really appreciating your table saw safety series!

Just bought a table saw and I enjoy watching this man's videos. He talks in a soft voice and its like being back at school with a teacher who knows what they are talking about/Greetings from Eastern England.

Every time you teach about table saws, I wonder how I'm still alive.

Great tip regarding where to look during a cut. It sounds so obvious that we should be concentrating on the fence, while allowing the blade to do its thing. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this important information.

Love your videos, you are a humble, superb instructor.
Love your push block, no frills, just bulletproof and super safe.

I can't even begin to tell you how great it is to have videos like this at my disposal. These are well planned, well spoken videos with all the information I want it to have without all the long intros, forced personalities, and random garbage interjected that I found on most videos. Right to the point, so I can get back to work!

Watch the fence, not the blade. Watch the fence, not the blade. WATCH THE FENCE, NOT THE BLADE!!! Information to live by. Thanks for a great video/series 👍👍👍

I come back here and watch this when I'm returning to the shop after a long hiatus.

This man clearly wants to be able to high five everyone. Thanks for looking out for my digits mate!

In Canada M.D.F. is 49 inches by 97 inches to allow for blade width loss.I am 77 and been doing work in construction since I was 19 years old.There are many great tips in your video.

This year i've been getting into woodworking. I watch a shitload on video's on safety and all kinds of techniques. Your channel is outstanding and very thorough and you explain it very well.

Thanks! I just got my first table saw and your videos are extremely valuable.

James, many years ago when I was a newbie, I had a table saw accident. A few months later I was at my physicians office for my annual physical. He asked me how long I had had my hernia. It was a surprise to me and to him since I had seen him for years. Well, my “accident” was kickback and the board had hit me near the you know what. I then remembered all the details and the pain that had followed it. Oh and the huge hole in the drywall after the board bounced off me. Hernia repair surgery later and I’m a heck of a lot smarter wood worker. Thanks for focusing on safety.

I use a feather board on every cut. Make one that you can move anywhere on the cast top with mag switches. I also use a Jessem roller guide, best addition to a table saw you can buy.

I've been at it for many years (longer than you have been around, Stumpy). But still find your safety tips very helpful and a good refresher course to remind me to stop, look, and think. Safety talk is always a good thing no matter how experienced one is. Keep 'em coming, Buddy.

[allanmcquiston]

I wish I had watched your very informative videos earlier, would have saved me spending 4 hours in A&E last weekend having gotten myself a table saw kickback injury! Luck for me the blade just caught the top of my thumb so just a painful gash albeit altering my thumb print. I like your "matter of fact" approach to your instructions they are clear and don't patronise. I am now binge watching your channel....keep the good work up.

At the end of these videos I always think "Oh, is it over already? I want more!" and start looking out for the next one. Great work James, thanks!

[robhough]

This is the most clear and comprehensive video on safety and rip cuts I've ever seen. Very helpful. Thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed the pointers doing cross cuts. Having worked in industry a number of years and involved in teaching safety we always made sure employees did not have loose sleeves or clothing. I noticed though you had an unzipped vest and leaning over a saw or other turning equipment can be very hazardous, saws, drills, lathes etc.

I wanted to quickly throw my brand new saw together and start making some rip cuts of some 2x4’s I’m using to pad some studs. After watching this and a few others I decided to put the saw away for the day and take more time to fully understand how to properly and safely use it.

Not worth trying to rush into something since table saws seem a little more dangerous than some of my other tools.
