This took me back to industrial arts class in junior high. I can just hear my teacher giving every safety lecture on every power tool as they were shown to us. I of course listened and never had a mishap but can remember others having cuts and bruises from poor tool usage. Thankfully though,, no one lost fingers. My favorite projects that I made were a sheet steel dust pan that I gifted my mom and a cork board and chalk board message center for use by the phone. I also have a plexiglass key chain I made and key ring holder. Sadly in high school they would not allow me to take building trades. They refused to let girls in the class citing safety issues. I learned cement, plumbing, basic electric, roofing, and construction from my grandpa building hunting hunting cabins. I also learned car care from my dad and grandpa when learning to drive. I still do almost all of my own work alongside my husband. Thanks for the good memory reminders.

[@lasersight70]

Hello! this is your friendly neighborhood carpenter! While there are many ways to cut circles, (there's really nothing wrong with yours because you know what you're doing) but these are the ways I would recommend to anyone without a large amount of experience. first, if you want to stick with a full depth router cut, draw your circle, cut it out with a jig saw (leaving no more than half the router bit thickness) than use your circle jig. this way you would be able to cut the entire circumference without backtracking, it would cut down on chatter, and is typically "safer". The second way, if you only want one set up, is to just like you did it, but take 1/4" depth /pass. (the router bit radius) this should still eliminate the backtracking and the majority of the chatter. method number three, and probably the quickest by far is a circle jig for a band saw. at least for the table surface. Love watching you work and I hope this comment is helpful!

Those nailers actually have a little tongue that has to be depressed before they will fire. People usually hurt themselves when they rest the gun against their leg, or when they're trying to nail a particularly tricky joint.

[@douglascampbell9809]

I've worked with nailer in furniture manufacturing. Most have a little contact safety that if they are not depressed against something will not fire. (only two on myself) I used one 7 hours a day for a couple years. I've literally seen hundreds of injuries to them and staple guns. You have got to be way more inattentive or have disengaged the safety feature to get hurt. The only really bad injuries are if the nail/staple bends when it punches through the bone, hits a vein/artery, or a big nerve. The rest just sting and bleed.

[@ketsuekikumori9145]

@@nudl3Zz You can still damage your ears even when using hearing aids. Hearing aids make so your hearing range is larger, but doesn't stop the pressure wave from damaging it. Think of it like this. With hearing loss, it would be like you wearing a bunch of thick clothing and some one pokes you with a finger. You're able to feel the prod, but you would have a harder time making out the exact point they poked you vs your bare skin. A loud enough sound to damage your ears would be like a punch (in this analogy, the clothing wouldn't be able to soften the blow, unless you were wearing clothing designed to soften it, e.g. earplugs). Another way of thinking it, is if you look at a sound save like a sine wave. Frequency is your hearing range and is usually measured in hertz (1 cycle/s = 1 Hz). Amplitude is how tall the waves get when you change the volume and is measured in decibels (dBA). Amplitude is the energy of the pressure wave and is the primary concern for hearing protection.

Exactly this. This would go so wrong if it was my project. On the last or second to last cut, I would also cut the freshly build table.

I used to work at a small casino table manufacturer, a lot of similarities on how they made poker tables with your build! Certainly brought back memories

[@Souchirouu]

After seeing this I'd love to see Adam make an automated (Riichi/Japanese) Mahjong table. I know it's not very relevant in the west but It's an enjoyable game once you know it but most of all I think it would make for an interesting challenge. Having those stones mixed then sorted and presented properly is going take a lot of parts working together perfectly.

They use torx head screws because less cam out and stripping of the screw head. Also you can get more Torque on it then a Philips screw when fastening.

[@mjh5947]

25:32 THIS! I tell my kids in class as part of their introduction to the nail gun. I've seen nails do some incredible acrobatics.

"Do you really need torx head screws?" I don't know that we can be friends anymore Adam.

[@diynevala]

We need to educate him better.

[@treborrrrr]

Hah, I had those exact words in my head and knew that I couldn't be alone. Scroll down the comments and bam, there it is. Torx screws are fantastic. No more having to put your whole weight behind the screwdriver to keep the damn thing from slipping and stripping the screw head. No more picking a Phillips when you really needed a Pozi and it never quite works right. No more picking a Phillips that is slightly too small, but it kinda works, so you go for it anyways aaaand... destroyed screw. With torx, if it fits, it's the right bit and you can drive them in without worrying about the bit slipping out or mangling the head of the screw so you never get it back out. It just works and I love it. Ok, I'll stop ranting now :)

[@virtuous-sloth]

@@treborrrrr What about Robertson screws/driver?

@@virtuous-sloth I have very little experience with that type. But by the few times I've used them I did like those quite a bit as well.

When he cams out a Philips head he will think again about the torx.

Hi Adam, I saw you were using a biscuit joiner in this build and thought I would recommend the Festool Domino joiner as it leaves much more precise mortices for the domino dowels so its easier to make sure the 2 pieces of material are perfectly aligned during glueing.

[@bakedbeings]

In the vid he mentions preferring the biscuit joiner over dowels because he *likes* that extra play

On his note of nail guns and fingers it is absolutely true. I saw my own wood shop teacher get one right through his thumb at a 90 degree angle to where he was aiming. The nail hit a knot and bent like a boomerang right into his thumb so Adams advice is very sound about the radius of the fastener.
