Cutting a circle on a table saw

This guy is a very talented maker, but I wonder how he still has all his fingers.
Check out his other videos, not all woodworking but he shows some interesting techniques and innovative products.

I've subscribed to his channel, I like what he's made, however I would not have made the same way as he did.

I wonder why he used the table saw first time, then uses a router to cut a circle later ?

The bit that makes me nervous are the plunge cuts with the handheld circular saw. One of the builders on the last series of Grand Designs sawed his hand using this technique !

@Tony; I can only think he was just demonstrating different approaches. There's another video showing him using the same circular saw technique on the end of an unsecured plank, I struggled to watch but he survived.

He reminds me a bit of Rico Daniels, the Salvager but with a broader skill set and and a bit more finesse.
I also blame Diresta for my recent purchase of a welder.
