Hi John(BHT) Don't let Dave Atkinson our Safety Officer watch this he won't be able to sleep. Regards John

Hello John, I had a look this morning.  It won't stop me sleeping

The man is an idiot. 

Trouble is - I often hear new turners, especially, saying "I saw this on you tube, what do you think?"  We can only hope that most people are not daft enough to try using a saw like that!

Cheers Dave

A lifetime ago I was stationed on a fire station which shared space with the ambulance boys. One of their calls was to a chap who had used a power saw to cut a sheet of ply ON HIS LAP
One of the first things you learn in the emergency services is that those 'don't-be-so-daft-no-one-can-be-that-stupid' people do actually exist

And yes, I couldn't watch longer than a minute!

Neither could I - the man is dangerous. would not be surprised to find he can't count to 10 within a year or so! Yech!

I think 'Self taught Idiot' sums it up for me.

It's his 9yr old son if it's him filming and watching his father that I feel sorry for what a way to learn ...  the wrong and most dangerous way ...  the lad would be kicked out of wood shop if he tried that at School ..  maybe it's the norm in the States.    ..   Was he actually using a skew ..     it takes watching too be sure.  He went so far as to say his son sanded it to finish, wonder how.

A look through some of the videos posted show some very dangerous and mindless behavior, like a lathe run off the drive axle of their vehicle and the sharpened end of a piece of box section as a cutting tool ...  Canada if I recall, not one to post.

Have flagged them as inappropriate on the basis that anyone emulating this risks serious injury.

Oh dear, the 2nd one was posted 1st march 2012 ...  is she still alive, from the comments there it was advised for her to seek help, lets hope she heeds it.

In a way I'm sorry Nancy has been taken down. I was proposing to alert our safety officer to her antics.

However, I have to report the danger of taking cocodamol before entering the workshop, especially if you intend to use a Stanley knife. It can be nearly fatal.

My few fans will be relieved to know it wasn't me.

PS  Was the Nancy episode a scam?

Hi I had mixed feelings about posting this I do not think we should give STUPID IDIOTS like these further publicity.

Evolution is a wonderful process, this idiot most likely will not live long.  Sad part is there are people that care about him, maybe even depend on him.  The only good thing about this video clip is that it is a good example of what not to do.  I too could not watch more than a minute.
