Several years back Bridge City Tools manufactured and sold a Kerf
Maker, a dandy tool for cutting dado's and grooves perfect in width
with undersized blades and router bits. I own one and it worked
extremely well for cutting 3/64" deep half lap joints 1/2" wide with
a 3/8" wide dado set.

This guy builds one and may have had too much coffee before he began
filing and sanding.

The end product is nice. But those fingers so close to fast moving
sharpened steel uncomfortable to watch. Maybe it's the fast-motion
of the videos but there seemed to be too many times when his fingers
were in a position where if something went wrong it might be bad.




That is true, there are some unsafe moves, we all make them. It was his
skill level and the quality of the project that I was more interested
in, and the speed at which he handles that sand paper. ;~)

He seems young, somewhat naive, and hopefully he will have a close call
and reevaluates his methods before the inevitable happens.
