The end product is nice. But those fingers so close to fast moving

This must be my week for not seeing things, because once again, I do not see
anything in that video that shows fingers so clos to fast moving sharpened
steel. I've now watched it twice and they guy follows all of the right
safety measures on those tools. I think the fast motion can/does create an
illusion that the viewer should watch more than once to be sure to see what
is really happening, because I just don't see anywhere that his fingers are
in a position to worry "if something went wrong".

He is seen test fitting a joint on top of his sled with the blade still spinning. Call me chicken, but I would be a bit farther from the blade than he is, especially if I was trying to fit a complex joint together.
