Curved sides Jewelry Box - How-to Video

[Niki]

Good day

I've seen this video and I thought that maybe you can "learn" from it a few things....especially, some safety procedures :shock:

On the side, you can find the other parts (seven, I think).
Hope you'll enjoy it.

Thanks Niki

Definitely one for 'entertainment purposes only'!

Wrong tools, wrong methods. A nice old round plane would cost about a fiver (pounds or dollars) and let him make his curved sides safely and quietly, with no need for that elusive power sanding!

Yes, thank you, Niki - quite simply, the scariest You"Toob" video I've seen in a while!! :shock: :wink:

I was expecting to see him cut the coving on the table saw, without a guard or push stick... But, only one fence??? :?

Bandsaw... Mitre saw... Wobbly camera... There really wasn't much in that video to put me at ease... :?

:shock: :shock: LOL..I sat there cringing all the way through that !

Yes some safety issues there. But to be fair, he didn't sound like a complete silly person and at least he's having a go at making stuff. I enjoyed seeing the process and thinking how I'd do things differently.

uh he would have to be a complete silly person to use a machine in that way. Im shocked and i hope to god no one even attempts to copy any of the methods he was using in that video.

Watching his table saw technique you can see why SawStop is so popular in America

Nice project though.

Hi all


oh my god , in all my years as a tradesman i have never seen anything so dangerous as that video , he will in time lose all his fingers and serve him right . that should be banned world wide to stop people thinking it's normal practice , if not world wide, at least hear on UK workshop. hc

I have to say I am with Wizer on this. There are a lot of safety issues and I would not for one moment condone his techniques. But it does start a thought process, something along the lines of "How would I do that". By seeing others having a go that we can all learn. That said, I would hate for people to copy his methods.

What shocked me was not so much the cutting of the cove (although, I would do it with 2 fences and push blocks) but, the fact that he said:
"In perfect world the saw blade would go down below the table but, my table saw is abnormal and I cannot lower the blade to more than 3/8" above the table"...
And he made the first (and maybe the 2nd & 3rd) pass while the blade is set to 3/8" above the table, and as you could see, the workpiece was "floating" on the blade...

On the 4th part, he is cutting the trays sides...ripping to 1½" width and passing his thumb between the rip fence and the blade....

They DO need the SawStop there

But, he was using the "American safety equipment"....Eyes & Ears protection....

 

[chill]

at least he`s wearing safety specs and ear defenders :roll: but OMG how come he`s still got all of his fingers or did he start with 6 on each hand :?:
