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".

Take a look at this video starting at about 1:50.

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.

Ok - I'll call you a chicken on this one. I find it perfectly safe, but
that's probably just a difference in what we each view as safe.


I do questionable stuff but trying a test fit of a joint a couple of
inches away from a blade that is still spinning is not what I would suggest.

I think you have made up your mind that regardless of what we point out
you are not going to, never mind.
