If so, there's a damn good way to dipstick your level of commitment to NOT
using safety devices like splitters and guards. Put your non "pro" loved one
_alone_ in the shop with 100 bf of lumber to cut, then think real hard
beforehand whether to use splitters and blade guards, or not.

You will then know, at gut level, the strength of your commitment.



You started out with turning it into a dick measuring contest and now
you've moved on to child abuse.

Congratulations.

The point, which you have so deftly ignored, is that it is your brain
that must be your primary safety device.

Tom.
