    absolute stupidity with a saw

    http://finewoodworking.taunton.com/i...ldnt-recommend

    this has got to be the stupidest stunt I have ever seen pulled. I thought I would pass it on.

      Beside the obvious when starting the saw, it looked like he used the rip fence with the miter guage! Where's the video of him in the ER?

        That's just so wrong on many fronts.

        Even after starting. Miter with fence, no guard or splitter, no safety glasses etc.

        I hope that kid never sees her daddy get the darwin award he deserves.

          That reminds me of a post I saw a couple years back, where a guy claimed to have cut off a couple of his fingertips, and was openly asking for advice on whether or not he should put his blade guard back on. He seemed very hesitant to do so.

          Some people shouldn't be allowed within a 50' radius of a power tool.

            The only thing dumber would be if he put that bucket over his head before he started sawing.

            What a bozo.

                I was wondering if his daughter was still behind him in the chair. A kickback would have hit her in the head. What a moron, unfortunately he has already bred.

                  If you can find this morons videos on youtube, there is another of him framing a wall on a house by himself.The walls dont line up so he sits on top of the adjacent wall section and cuts a section of stud off with a circular saw to line the sections up.To top off that, He actually sits there and explains his ignorance with the saw held between his legs.I wonder if this dude is still breathing.
                  I think therefore I .....awwww where is that remote.

                      I wonder if he will be video taping when he receives his Darwin Award.

                        Breeding?

                        Probably not..."sits there and explains his ignorance with the saw held between his legs." lol
