This series will become an instant classic - can’t wait for part 2

[@mcmillanstu]

Love it

[@gene_takavic57]

Thank you, Jimmy, for risking your health and well-being to show us the right way to use these tools. You are a saint!

[@moycakes]

For over two decades I wasn't aware that you could change a drill without the tactical method. Now everyone will be waiting for me, thank you!

[@scififan698]

I've been letting my mates wait for at least 10 years now, and they're absolutely grateful. These techniques are awesome 👍

[@revon0521]

My cousin lost a limb for every "don't ever do that" procedure you so bravely illustrated. I'm headed to his house now to feed him. I wish you had uploaded this public safety tutorial about a month ago.

[@jimmydiresta]

Sorry for his losses 😞

[@CatNolara]

Sorry to hear your cousin lost all of his 5 arms and 8 legs.

[@RossCanpolat]

Can't tell if he is being sarcastic or not 😂

[@usd25674]

I get it.

[@amydpnw]

The eerie, long pause after "don't ever do this" has to be really hard to keep a straight face. :)

[@Shep01]

O I am sure for legal reasons he will maintain his "never do this..." stance.

[@scififan698]

He's completely kidding of course. Yes, some of these things are dangerous. Life is dangerous.

[@Skochel]

@@scififan698are you sure he’s kidding though? I cant tell

[@CelestialPopCollectiveOfficial]

I sincerely hope this really is episode one in a series. I loved every unique workaround that you demonstrated. Thank you!

[@shpeftopolis]

How you kept a straight face through this I have no idea... but this was awesome. Thanks Jimmy!

[@DavidPlass]

Yeah not sure if he's serious or totally poking fun of safety videos, implying these things are actually ok to do? Either way, it's a Jimmy video so I'm watching it.

[@cyrilhudak4568]

He had his attorney standing there, arms crossed with a stern look on his face.

[@jong2359]

This video is the greatest service to mankind there has ever been. This single video will advance survival of the fittest by at least 50 years. We just need about 80 more videos to break even.

[@jimmydiresta]

Hahahahah haha🤘🏼👊🏻👊🏻🙏🏼

[@yadabotbingo]

Best response video addressing the Safety Sally troll's concerns, making the point with a multitude of examples.

[@kusler67]

As an armchair woodworker with a keen eye for safety, I really appreciate you making this video to keep me safe.

[@Dandroid61]

My old boss used to say, "it takes a real mechanic to work without all the tools". Jimmy demonstrates that concept brilliantly. Great video!

[@RonnieStanley-tc6vi]

I might have worked with that guy. He is the guy that I learned electrical from. He didn't have a tool bag or a pouch. He just carried a pair of side cutters, channel locks, and a flat blade Klein screwdriver. That and a pocket knife could do most anything.

[@jimharper9609]

And for 45 years I have been sharpening my pencils all wrong! Great video, Jimmy!

[@85square]

i love it! the repeately demonstrating how useful the method is and not explaining why its dangerous. youtube gold right here!

[@msmith2961]

This is the safest video on KZbin. So safe, even the safety police didn't visit the comment section like they usually do. Keep up the good work on making the world a safer place by risking your own life and limb showing us what not to do. And remember: Heroes shouldn't wear capes around power tools.

[@Piratecapt8383]

meanwhile somewhere in a boardroom of Dewalt and Sawstop corporate lawyers and CEO's are having strokes.

[@stevenfoust3782]

I’ve been doing these things for years. I will stop! Thanks for caring about my family.

[@thesplinteredfinger]

Don’t do what I do, do as I say! Great words of wisdom Jimmy!

[@davidhawkey8426]

This might be my favorite video, Jimmy! Trolling the trolls! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@johnheyden7277]

You have perfected the "sarcasm face". If you haven't developed a tingling sense in your neckbone telling you NOT to do something you might just accidentally cut your pinky finger off! (see now THAT's sarcasm!) I actually learned a few things in this video that i will never do!

[@ConnorHolland]

I almost definitely won't never, will not do any of the techniques seen in this video, thaaank you!

[@jonpalange3292]

This might be the most Diresta video ever. You're right, I won't be using any of the techniques shown because I've only been a hobby maker and wood worker for 10 years. Its likely I'll never posses the confidence or competence to pull any of these tricks off. And that's okay. I continue to watch your videos for inspiration. Shop safety is the responsibility of the person in their shop. 👍

[@waltewhitesPhD]

Safety is everyone's responsibility.

[@waltewhitesPhD]

@@Changtent wait wait wait. Did someone with the name Changtent just call me a communist Karen. Talk about calling the kettle black. 🤣🤣🤣

[@jessealanis7443]

Aside from the mastery of these tools and techniques, the ability to keep a straight face all throughout is amazing.

[@christianmusso629]

What an incredible confidence in handling those tools in ways they were not supposed to be used!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@JackmanWorks]

Thank you for thinking of the children and keeping them all safe while using their miter saws.

[@jimmydiresta]

Imagine if she see this now !?? Her #%^s will explode.

[@JackmanWorks]

@@jimmydiresta you live in her head rent free, she definitely hate watches you 😂

[@TheQuintessentialOne]

Perfect visual display of "Do as I say not as I do" people often miss the interpretation and neglect the decades of experience required to perform such risky but sometimes necessary techniques to achieve the task at hand. Great video👍

[@Masterof1ne]

KZbin must be so proud to have you show us the safety hazards!

[@JohannesParra]

Hahahaha love how it gets progressively more and more chaotic and ironic Thank you for the years of safety videos Jimmy! 😂

[@bytesizedengineering]

This might be my favorite Jimmy Diresta video ever! These came straight from comments in his videos over the years. This is a brilliant response and I loved every second of it! I couldn't help laughing with each long pause!

[@j-bird1741]

Thank you Jimmy for showing me these unusable tips that I will never use in a situation where they would be very useful, much appreciated

[@woogaloo]

Putting a groove in a piece of wood with a circular saw is just ingenious and I will NEVER! steal that idea and use it. Never! And apparently I've been changing my bits in a drill the dangerous way forever. Thank you for showing me what I've been doing so dangerously all these years. You're a saint!

[@papaspeleo]

Pencil sharpening is not so easy on the table saw. You have to use a CNC for that. All the best and thank you for this safety advice

[@gosonegr]

Pencils are sketch tools for sure

[@papaspeleo]

@@gosonegr for sure! They can be very sharp.

[@goptools]

Especially, don't sharpen your pencil on a table saw while everyone on the job site waits! Good video Jimmy. Tongue in cheek but gets the point across.

[@scottcampbell96]

I’m going to try a chop saw to nibble the corners off a pencil. He didn’t show us that one so I guess it’s ok.

[@goptools]

It seems perfectly safe!@@scottcampbell96

[@johnlcallaway]

I knew I shouldn't do some of these things. Thanks for showing me even more things I shouldn't do when my wife is around.

[@jdm0101]

The best ever episode - the reason I want a table saw for my workshop is so I don't cut circles or curves in wood! I'd never dream of doing that!

[@DaveGDesigns]

JD You are truly the Yoda of makers I'd never try those but I'm happy to sit quietly in awe of your skill brother

[@worstworkshop]

On behalf of every person who has ever posted a woodworking video on KZbin, thank you.

[@WoodifICouldJohnC]

Thank you Jimmy for the Safety Tip updates. I have found myself using some of these ‘bad’ techniques. And now I “will never do this in my shop.”

[@scififan698]

Me neither, at all, I swear! Lol

[@MrBigwat]

Oh Jimmy my “one way friend”, I LOVE you. You brought so much joy to my morning with your humor. I have been watching your videos for YEARS. This morning’s is my new favorite. Great techniques I vow I won’t use… unless, of course I need the outcome that doing it will produce. My favorite part is after the groove demo how you drag the circular saw off the table.

[@jimmydiresta]

🤘🏼🤘🏼💪🏼💪🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@samuell.hinckley9760]

This might as well be called: “Shop hacks I really want to show you, but for legal reasons I don’t want to be responsible if you mess up” 😂

[@TheCyberMantis]

Bingo!

[@CrookedSkew]

Much of this is genuinely tough to watch. I'm waiting for the axe to fall. I'm surprised that people do these things. They are counter to common sense. Thank you for this video.

[@Keasbeysknight]

Definitely learned some new things on the chop saw I shouldn't do. Thanks Jimmy!

[@mando6497]

Thanks for the best teaching video ever. I'll never do these "dangerous " shortcuts. WINK, WINK, NOD, NOD.

[@MorrisonManor]

ALWAYS back-up your circular saw cuts with a cast iron surface.

[@PeterRobertsMTX]

there are good reasons for the rules but Jimmy obviously has a feel for the tools. They're his and he's been using them for years. Being safe in these situations often means having a feel for the irregularities of the wood, knowing how the machine is calibrated etc. and it's very hard to know someone's learned that. So when people are trained they're taught basic safe processes that don't require much actual skill, often also because workplace injuries can shut down businesses and the stakes have to be as low as possible.

[@jamesmisener3006]

I've used all these shortcuts at one time or another except the nail gun one. Nail guns are unpredictable tools and I've seen more injuries with them over all other wood working tools in my lifetime. Nails shot into feet, hands and legs I've seen it all. Looking forward to the old house episodes. Cheers 🇨🇦

You're the man Jimmy. I love you man! I can't count how many times you come up in my head while I work. LEGEND!

[@AJB2K3]

Just remember kids, Jimi has a sacrificial clone for this.

[@mattpayne3807]

I can't tell if these are actually great and fantastic tips. Or dangerous things we shouldn't be doing. Diresta is so great and fantastic in the shop that nothing looks dangerous when he does it.

[@smashyrashy]

I love how he shows us exactly how convenient and time saving some of these are😂😂

[@poopandfartjokes]

That’s so you’ll appreciate the extra hour you spent last weekend making an overly complicated jig for a single cut.

[@cavemanvi]

As someone who’s starting up in a shop hopefully this saves my left finger

[@coolbionicle]

I think that's the idea😂

[@makethedayuk]

OK Jimmy, I promise I will never again do all the things I have been doing for the past 30 years, thank you for risking life and limb for our educational purposes, god bless your selfless kind heart x

[@mitb]

I didn’t know that “tactical bit changing” wasn’t the right way to do things. That’s the way I was taught as a child. 😂 Thanks Jimmy for helping me be more safe!

[@Sc00ter]

"That’s the way I was taught as a child." Who ever taught you that should clearly be put away for a long time. :-D

[@Flako-dd]

Same 😂

[@sportsbank8428]

I tried these... They all worked great! I am typing this with my nose right now, but the projects are all done! Thank you! I have a fork I hold in my mouth now to hold the shift key down when I need to. You get really good at it after awhile.

[@sapelesteve]

Excellent video Jimmy! I can see both the safety tips and your sense of humor watching this video. Kudos! Now I am more aware of things to think about not doing in my own shop! 👍👍🔨🔨

[@thomascarlsson7325]

An old friend of mine once said that the foundation of all art is in the misuse of technology, and I would certainly agree that the way Jimmy uses these tools approaches an artform!

[@CorneliusFudgePop]

Just what my wife needs to see 🤦🏼‍♂️ thanks Jimmy

[@mortenlian4405]

Dude! Stop teaching me these dangerous methods, i'll definitely be doing this!

[@vancester1st]

Thank you for this Jimmy! I will never ever do any of these dangerous things. Thank you for demonstrating them to us so perfectly.

[@rockaholictom]

YES!! You made the video I can’t remember how long you’ve been talking about this on Making It. It’s perfect thank you brother

[@sparkyprojects]

Never put some wood in the lathe and use a circular saw hovering over the part to remove the bulk of the wood :D

[@jimmydiresta]

Yep. Don’t do that.

[@puritan7473]

Excellent advice Jimmy, I will totally make sure to never attempt any of these crazy stunts, just to save time. Thank you for putting yourself in danger to teach... a true master.

[@EverydayWorkshop]

Thanks Jimmy, I now have loads more ideas on how not to do things. Great Video 👍😁

[@Lorddanielrushton371]

Best advice ever. "If you don't feel comfortable doing it, don't do it"

I think he’s talking to all the Karen’s out there that are part of the nanny safety commentator police. 😂

[@chrisnolin7103]

This is the most mind blowing video! It undoes 23 years of Norm Abrams-induced safety mindedness! I'm gonna go take my guards off of EVERYTHING! It's a guard, not a stopper. Hell yeah!

[@sgsax]

Just proves that Jimmy watches out for the children. Great tips. I will definitely not do any of these when I am in the shop. I'll just use my CNC instead so I can sit around and push buttons all day from a safe distance. Thanks, Jimmy!

[@deriksmith5397]

This could be your most viewed video by the time it's all said and done!!! Love it!!

[@nataliadeavilapires2136]

I see Jimmy is angry with the safety police again.

[@trevhaydon5090]

It would be nice if other KZbinrs could follow your lead as well, Jimmy, and share these vital and essential safety practices with us to keep more of us up-and-coming creators and makers safe in the workshop. 🤣Thank you so much for putting yourself in harm's way and taking the time out of your day to put this MUST-SEE video together and share it with us. I found the content invaluable for future reference. I especially liked how you show so much concern and compassion for your fan's well-being and safety. It is what makes you a cut above the rest.

[@kennethmackintosh4690]

I loved watching you be, unsafe, on the table saw while standing out of the kickback zone and having a riving knife installed. Working with any tool is dangerous, you just have to try to eliminate as much risk as possible.

[@GopherWoodshop]

That's hilarious, "Don't ever refine a curve a on a table saw" Love it.

[@Joe___R]

I grew up on construction sites I guess I was only taught how not to do things. Great video, I'm looking forward to part 2.

[@sandlinds]

Thanks for this informative safety video Jimmy! I'll add that you should NEVER plunge cut a circular saw into a rafter to stow it safely when working on a roof; you should always climb all the way down to store it and climb all the way back up to then safely use your dad's nailgun. Or, go buy a new saw with a rafter hook and throw away the old skilsaw you've got 20+ years of experience using. That old saw is probably too dangerous, too!

[@kd2eat]

I will try to remember these safety tips to assure I do the right thing when the opportunity arises. Thanks, Jimmy!
