A bit? My wife and I were almost curled into balls on our chairs.

[Lobby Dosser]

Balls? I'm hoping mine drop back before my wife gets home from work!

[SBH]

great, why isn't anyone using their finger instead of a hotdog?" Now I know.

In order to instill faith in a product, it's creator must apply a true life scenario. He did, I'm convinced.

Good video.

[Morgans]

That reminds me of the demo the guy that invented the ground fault interrupter circuit was to said have done.

He grabbed one hot 120V wire, with the ground in a pool, and jumped in.

Balls, in both cases.

But what I am hearing, from all over, is that it is an exceptional piece of equipment as a saw. Right up there with General 650 etc.

A 'TRUE' endorsement of the builder's confidence would be if he were to demo it with his dick. THAT would be cringe-worthy... after all, he's got ten fingers.....

[Swingman]

Particularly if it didn't reach the blade to start with ....

[RonB]

Kinda doubt if you will see that on Discovery! :o)

Ahh..., the "push stick" test.

...and you'd want to see that video? Hmmm. And wouldn't a true endorsement be in a true life situation? I don't know too many nudist woodworkers. Sawdust gets in the pubes and other places that a dust collector would refuse to go.

I don't want to know HOW you know that so intimately. TMI

I went into one of those Nude Furniture stores while they were making some furniture. I thought the nude had to do with furniture without a finish on it - my mistake. =3D:O

What I haven't seen yet is a real-life slip and a quick hand into the whole blade. I'll bet it would do a whole lot more damage, albeit saving most of the hand.

Ever read about the first public demonstration of the Otis Safety Elevator?

"By 1854, [Elisha] Otis was exhibiting a working model of his invention at the Crystal Palace Exhibition in New York. When his rising platform reached the top, 40 feet above the assembled crowds below, he had an assistant dramatically cut the hoist rope and, like a good showman, bow to the gasps of the onlookers when the elevator did not fall. The New York Tribune called the demonstration "sensational" (labeling Otis, "Mr. Safety Elevator Man")."

I bet it would be exactly the same. They do the quick push with a hot dog and it doesn't even cut the casing.

Heh, it was agonizing to watch even with the Sawstop guy being really, really careful not to risk serious injury even if his product had malfunctioned. Some things just go against every instinct.

A side note: The pinky and ring finger carpal bones are flexible within the hand, allowing for those fingers to best grasp and hold objects.... pretty important tasks for those fingers. The thumb and forefinger (and the middle finger) carpal bones are ridgid, within the hand, and are most used to manipulate objects, also pretty important tasks. The middle finger is "least important" for grasping and/or manipulating objects. He "sacrifice" his least important finger on his left hand. I'll bet he's right handed, too. I wouldn't think the camera's being on the right side was coincidence, either.
