✔ DiResta Jimmy Tips 10

[@MarcoZamarco]

I want to thank you so much to fill up my long and painful weeks in hospital in last one year and half and counting. Many heavy surgeries but every time I spent nice time watching your posts. Go on this way. Thanks again.

[@alexag1997]

After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans kzbin.infoUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

Thanks for telling the tale of your injury! A good lesson for everyone. "Be present." Sound advice. As a kid my Pop always said, "Respect the tool." I think you're both right.

[@Sadowsky46]

InformationIsTheEdge yes, and immediately stop when you think „just one more quick cut“

[@InformationIsTheEdge]

@@Sadowsky46 Yeah. Cutting corners usually leads to cutting something much worse.

[@slomo1562]

22:50 I love watching this old tips video as much for the tips as the troll. I love Jimmy's back and forth. He may not have thought it was fun but I loved it!

[@fisharmor]

My hat's off to you guys. I went halfway through my left index in 1998, and never used a table saw until just a few months ago. I would add this.... my rules now are first, keep you damn hands away from the blade! and second, like you said, if your mind is on something else then turn it off and go do something else until you can get your head in the game.

[@ColinDH12345]

Useful to talk about an accident. Thanks, I appreciate that. More useful than just talking about safety.

[@Bamshi101]

"So that's how you make 42 doorstops, and one circle" fucking love this guy xD

[@rakeyohn222]

Thanks for being honest and humble enough to share your story. It’s good to be reminded that injuries like that can happen to anyone anytime. I’m glad they were able to (mostly) fix you back up.

[@craftedworkshop]

Waelder's heckling in this video is hilarious.

[@rogerwiselogle7675]

Hello Joanne I

[@lunhil12]

Good safety message. 25 years in a shop and saw too many experienced guys injured. Nobody ever thinks it will happen to them. Always take the time to work safe and smart.

[@iamaioshi]

just bought a table saw and now this video is so much help. At first it was just entertaining!

[@StMoritzGuitars]

I too sustained a serious injury on my left thumb. Brought it down into the rotating blade because of over confidence and split it open like you would peel a banana. Have much more respect for this piece of equipment since my accident. Glad to see someone letting other know how serious a table saw is to work with ! GREAT JOB !

[@timsway]

i've watched a lot of your videos. this is perhaps the best. the advice, safety tips, stories, humor, camaraderie... it even follows the rules of the internet and features a cat! thanks for all you do.

[@jimmydiresta]

Tim!! thank you brother !!!

[@user990077]

Just now watched this video two years after posting. Was interested in any new tips. The best tip I got was TURN OFF SAW WHEN MAKING ADJUSTMENTS. A missing finger in a fraction of a second. Have worked with a table saw for over thirty years but this first hand account was definitely the best way to get an important point across. Good job.

[@ninguemvj]

By the way I wish this video was up 7 months ago. I had just upgraded from a horrible table saw that wouldn´t cut paper to a much powerfull one and decided to make a cross cut on a very hard wood using the fence...oh...and at a 45º angle... The wood had a bow on it and I didn´t notice because I wasn´t paying attention. Classic "last thing before I stop today". The piece of wood got caught on the blade and then a violent kickback happened. Just like that. The piece of wood flew towards me and almost broke my left hand while pinching my right hand index finger and destroying the tip of it. It opened like a flower. I remember looking at the blood and the flesh and not believing what just happened. It still feels strange to touch stuff and I´m 100 times more aware of anything I do on my shop now. And thanks for telling the story about your finger. I knew it happened but I always wondered how. Cheers!

[@jewermank8536]

i cut the tips of 2 fingers pretty bad about 15 years ago, just from being in a hurry trying to finnish a project before my deadline. i take my time now and have a good respect for the table saw. safety first. good video man!

[@BrandonLund]

I, like you built up a certain level confidence after many years in the trade. One afternoon I was ripping a piece of maple t&g flooring that was maybe 18" long. Within a fraction of a second (as you said), the wood caught and shot out of the saw like a rocket and buried itself into the 1/2" drywall directly behind me. I got lucky. It just missed me. I have never experienced that kind of violent force other than firing a gun. I couldnt believe the power. It was a wakeup call for me for sure and I look at the saw (and how I go about making cuts) much differently now.

[@aniflannagan]

When I started learning table saw I heard so many ugly stories. I cut at a high school- the kids don't do the cut, but I do tell them stories from friends: eg- riving knife buried 25mtrs back in wall. & guy cutting into something recycled that had old nails - hit him in the chest nearly cardiac'd right there.

[@johnjones4825]

This is hugely instructive! I took woodwork till the end of high school, and 38 years later I have just bought my first table saw (my retirement toy!) I have always been wary of machines, especially since I almost lost a finger due to stupidity.. these tips will hopefully save injuries to not only me, but others around the world!

[@patriotsriot]

This might be my favorite DiResta vid. Love David "The Troll" Waelders' acting chops! Keep it up team!

[@Bartsmusicandvideo]

the only way to be 100 percent safe is doing nothing and not leaving the house... and even then a plane could crash on your roof. I think jimmy has a great balance between being safe and being fast. I learned a lot from this channel. thanks jimmy!

[@cliffsclips5522]

Jimmy just been watching your vids and don't know how I haven't stumbled across you as I watch a lot of woodworkers and I have got to be honest this was educational and very good with the help from the instant troll. Nicely shot down btw. Thank you

[@jamesgriggs7494]

My 11 year old son Samuel and I really enjoy your channel. He told me about this video. Since then I have noticed a dramatic difference when we work on projects in our basement shop. He has become just as You said "more present". You are making a real impact keep up the good work. We hope to meet you one day!

[@tsstn]

Watched this again today, love the built in Troll. Totally cracked me up AGAIN.

[@johnweis8452]

I'm new to woodworking and recently have come across "DIRESTA." I like the sense of humor and the real, practical advice.. This was make 5 years ago but still very applicable today. Thanks for sharing the injury story, as a newbie its my biggest fear!

[@TheDesertRat31]

I had a table saw injury as well, for the same reasons. Just trying to make a quick, easy cut and being over confident and/or not being fully focused on what I was doing. probably a little of both factors. I'd say: Don't think it can't happen to you. I never thought I could have afforded a Saw Stop... turns out I could, but there isn't one sitting in my shop in spite of that. Glad I had disability insurance, I estimate 15-20k altogether based on my insurance docs. I got lucky and kept all my fingers and can even still play guitar ( I cut my left hand) with some slight technical alteration (I'd guess I'm about 95% able compared to before). Came away with some nerve damage and a small skin graft... I like to tell people I have "butt meat" on my finger now (donor site was actually just near the inside my elbow.) :) Thanks for the emphasis on safety. We could all use reminders now and again. Take care and fun vids, I have several new projects now to get behind on!

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you for sharing that !! And fir watching !

[@jacobmarks3569]

+jimmydiresta and this is why i'm super glad i have the NHS in my country ....

[@jonmiles24]

I loved 8th grade wood shop then life took over. I'm 54 now and trying to learn from scratch. Thank you!! I'll be back.

[@KrisWingfield]

Favorite video by far. You and David are hilarious, but I enjoyed the reality of it; from addressing trolls to taking a serious moment to relate a personal story concerning safety. Of course those were great tips too. KZbinrs like you are why I don't even own a TV. TV is too fake and over-processed. Thanks for keepin it real, Jimmy.

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you for that it means a lot to hear!

[@Jimgoodwin846]

Just watched your bandsaw tips and your table saw tips. Very good! I have been using tools for many years myself and with your video I have learned some new techniques. I am new at the bandsaw and appreciate your video. Thanks again.

[@jimmydiresta]

+Jim Goodwin thank you jim!

[@cwilczewski23]

"And that's how you make 42 doorstops and a perfect circle" Best line ever!

[@dreamcatcherdb]

I didn't watch this video intentionally. I saw it and thought, "What could THIS guy posssibly teach ME about a tablesaw that I didn't already know?" I've been a professional woodworker for 20 years yet almost every one of these tips were new to me. I skipped it but it auto-played after another video. I just let it play so I could sneer at the basic info I knew it would give. Now, I,m wishing I watched this video 20 years ago. Great idea to have the troll commenting too. Excellent video!

[@peterspencer695]

Wish I had watched this video a month ago. I came pretty close to loosing my right thumb. Still a ways to go before I get full function, or close to full function back. I was performing a slow plunge cut. The blade grabbed the wood, a knot, took the wood and my hand with it. You're right... It happens in a split second. And I'm still not 100% sure what happened. I should have been using a hold stick. But your comment hit the problem on the head when you said one has to be present. I wasn't and had other stuff on my mind. SawStop. Impressive equipment. But I wonder how well, how quickly the, blade would stop if one was to jam their finger into the spinning blade! The KZbin videos I see just show the finger creeping into contact. Some great useful tips. And your safety comments convinced me...., I subscribed

[@bassinbob1965]

Thanks for sharing Jimmy. It's people like you that make learning woodworking possible for those of us who can't afford school. And you make it fun.

[@izzyswan]

Jimmy thanks for the shout out brother

[@CReevesMakes]

Love the banter with the "troll"

[@kurtlindner]

Start at 25:00, then watch everything, afterwards, watch from 25:00 again.

[@jonm8009]

Thanks for all the tips! I liked that you kept it real - not commercialized. When this video first started I thought "I'm not going to waste 30 minutes of my life on this." But I'm glad now that I kept watching, I learned a lot and look forward to your other videos..

[@J1mmyFootr0n]

im surprised the cat doesnt have DIRESTA spray painted on em lol

[@xl000]

he clearly dipped it in white paint

[@rduane64]

DJ PHOBIA 🤣

[@adam_loooong]

Thank you for these. I am fairly new to the table saw and often have to turn the saw off and rethink the cut. I love the sentiment of staying present at every cut. Something I will keep with me in my own shop. Thank you Jimmy.

[@mackaydickerson7618]

"Wouldn't fly in my shop!" Perfect gag line. Still laughing...

[@iphlueable]

as an electrician apprentice, my journeyman drilled a few sayings into my head... "there's old electricians and there's bold electricians but there aren't ANY old bold electricians!" Thanks for sharing your story about the injury. Don't get too comfortable!

[@DavidClunie]

Hey Jimmy, could you maybe do a video and show how a kickback could happen or why they happen and maybe the effects(or the force of a kickback) as well as how to prevent it from occurring? Essentially a video to show us how to work safely, maybe do a table saw tips 2 (11) if you have the time... lots of people talk about effects but seeing how fast one goes, kickback, really puts things into perspective. thanks! great videos always enjoy watching your creativity and drive!

[@luisgerena6649]

Just do a quick search here for table saw kickback and you'll see plenty. thints12 has a pretty eye opening video of how bad of an idea it is to try to recreate kickback. Me personally, I've been much luckier than most with my table saw incidents. I ended up with a 4x4" welt on the chest from my worst kickback incident and half the pad on my thumb cut off from being too confident with a saw another time. There was so little meat left on the pad of my thumb that I had to go back twice to get new stitches because they kept ripping through the skin.

[@vgullotta]

+David Clunie I shot a 4x4 out of my garage into the driveway once lol, then I got a new blade for the saw =)

[@mrkoolio8494]

dude....do a little google research...there is another guy who tried to replicate a kickback and darn near cut his hand off....it is hard to watch.

[@bikefarmtaiwan1800]

Solid tips Jimmy- Thanks. My safety tip, for what it is worth, is that whatever machine I'm using I imagine, for a moment, just how badly it could mess me up and that keeps a good level of respect for what I am dealing with. Obviously in addition responsible use of the machine is a given.

[@3wetpaint]

Please consider creating Diresta Jimmy Tips 11-20 series for 2016 !

[@nexus01gr]

Brother, the nonchalant way you said, _"You know, they all go dull when you cut nails with them."_ was simply epic! I want to personaly thank you for the in-depth look of your accident and your thoughts on safety. I've had my left thumb's tip sliced open, in almost the same manner you described. *Absent minded*... Thank you, again! Keep it up!

[@jimmydiresta]

Ha! Thank you !!

[@Jayme]

42 door stops and 1 circle! Haha

[@666bulba]

That's where I busted out laughing lmao

[@grant3226]

+Raymundo Alvarado yep haha

[@LordKaladar]

xD I had to pause the video from laughing so hard.

[@CmdrGendoIkari]

He had a few zingers in there worthy of a thumbs up.

[@Garylivingstone]

where can you purchase your push sticks the are really neat 👍

[@GeauT]

Great video. After watching you and other woodworking youtubers, I have decided it is time to get back into woodworking. I just bought an old table saw on Craigslist and am in the process of cleaning it up and fixing the fence. It's been over 20 years since I have touched a table saw, so these tips are really useful, especially the safety tips. Thanks!

[@NickFerry]

Hey Jimmy - this troll edition had me cracking up - David, you make a funny troll!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Nick Ferry I think the New York accent helps.

[@DavidWaeldervideo]

Haha thank you Nick!

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

Nick Ferry He's a little bit TOO good, if you ask me. What say you, David - anything to confess? Hmmm...?

[@DavidWaeldervideo]

+Mark Lindsay ha!!! That's funny. I also pay the troll toll, so I have some reference.

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

David Waelder Word. I'm a subber to your channel, and I've seen some the goings on. But, what can you do? Meh - let 'em troll.

[@pathallock7868]

Have just recently started watching your videos. I'm seriously impressed with your skill. I'm a welder. But now in retirement I want to try my hand at wood. Have learned tons about techniques, tricks and just good habits about saw uses. Measure twice, cut once. Wood is pricey. Particularly the "nice" stuff. Any noob mistakes cost alot. Will continue to watch and learn. May even try some of your projects. Thank you! You da man!!

[@millertalbot]

Dude, you're awesome! Thanks for the lessons!

[@josephanderson7881]

Really appreciate that safety tip, and your story about the table saw incident. Every time I hear somebody talk about hurting themselves on a table saw, it's the same as your story - working on a limited time frame, thought they could knock something out in five minutes, got too focused, and an accident happened. I hope this tip saves some fingers!

[@CleanSlateFarm]

Table saw cuts... I did it too. My dad used to say, "Familiarity breeds contempt." He was right.

[@harrykuheim6107]

You spelled "Too" wrong too...just a Spelling Tip for ya'....and those cat hands in the Vid? They are Fake and operated by Greedy Big Businesses who are no doubt up to some kind of Conspiracy...like that "Moon" thingy...

[@santiagoelias6172]

[@thecrazyisreal]

Ive been using this blade changing method ever since you posted this, very thankful. These tips have been awesome.

[@chrismeadows5948]

I like your troll - Now that funny my friend 👌👌👌

[@wagdyziada4503]

A lot of thanks to all of you Jimmy, David and Spike for the wonderful tips I learned from this tutorial video

[@bradgarms8434]

Jimmy, First off I recently found your channel and love it. I am a disabled Us Navy Veteran who was told to get a hobby to keep my mind off the inevitable and I chose wood working and fell in love. Being disabled which means no income I make a lot of my own tools and jigs and noticed your triangle push sticks. Did you make them? and do you have plans for them? Please keep up the good work I love your videos and on my bad days where there is no shop time I sit in my chair and watch your videos along with Izzy Swan and wood work for mere mortals, but you have jumped to the top of my list Thank You and Merry Christmas. Brad Proud Disabled Navy Combat Rescue Swimmer and Deep Sea Diver.

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you brother!! I make them on my CNC. There is a video on the make series of the process. "DiResta push sticks" maybe the name Thank you for the support and your service!! Thank you !

[@bradgarms8434]

It was my honor to serve this great country and i would do it again without hesitation but thank you for saying

[@mrkoolio8494]

To brad garms....on behalf of all the american people, we do remember and we are grateful. you are not forgotten...although i know many times it feels like it. may god bless you and yours.

[@crolodon8024]

Great tips man, my dad cut his ring finger off on the tablesaw and I've been teasing him about it my whole life. He got it reattached, but it sticks out at a little bit of a wonky angle. Love it.

[@GiacoWhatever]

Ahahah!!! I'm starting to have my first trolls as well and I must say that are really funny... Great tips Jimmy!!! Amazed by this video! I'm lmfao!!

[@jimmydiresta]

Gio !! Xoxo

[@DennyMK007]

Wow, the tip for loosening and tightening the blade with one wrench and pulling on the blade gave me confidence in using my old Craftsman contractor table saw. I was really worried about the blade coming loose because on my table saw there is no option for a second wrench to tighten the nut. Thank you so much ❤

[@Putt4fun]

9:47 I laughed way too hard at that lol.

[@vtank81]

Jimmy. That was the most entertaining woodworking video I've seen yet. Knocked it out of the park.

[@muh1h1]

wow, 15.000$ oO worst thing i did was drilling through my finger, cost me 10€ getting it back together... Man i could not live in the US...

[@makingcrapwithscrap5701]

Just ran across this and I appreciate it. You are a talented guy and I love your build videos. never have watched these "tips" videos before. I was literally cutting boards this morning before work that were narrower than they were long and I was lucky not to get any kickback. I need to build a sled. Also guilty of not being "present" with each cut and always thinking whats next. Need to slow down. Again, thanks.

[@johnhuey3211]

Your the man JIMMY! F#@K the trolls! They got nothing better to do other than trying to be keyboard warriors! Your videos are awesome, Ive learned a lot of new things from watching. I think they are just pissed off because there not even half as smart as you are! KEEP ON INSPIRING!!!

[@jimmydiresta]

+John Huey Thankyou brother !!

[@woodkraftsfwi1999]

Thanks for the tips. Never seen the spiral making technic, then I been using a table saw daily for over 10years. Perfect for making wooden treads. Learning something new every day.

[@norm1124]

We love spike, we want more spike.

[@anon746912]

norm1124 Less spike please, I'm here for the tips. If you're desperate for cats, you can easily have a video about cats playing next to this one.

[@NeAZ]

anon746912 Spike showing us some woodworking tips, perhaps?

[@jessecookies6778]

+NeAZ Yes

[@MniHaD15]

+anon746912 ur like the only one ever to not want to see spike in these vids XD

[@anon746912]

Nihad Sadly that does seem to be the case. NeAZ That would be more of a parody than a tip, kinda defeats the purpose of having a video about tips. Working with a tool requires certain movements and handling of the workpiece, which isn't something that can be done using fake cat paws. I understand that you like cats and don't see a problem with them providing filler for videos about craftsmanship, but they really aren't relevant. I like craftsmanship and I also like beautiful girls in bikinis, but a video about how to work a bandsaw that cuts to an image of a naked girl every minute would be rather odd, don't you think? One last thing - as a cat lover, don't you ever get worried about how close Spike is to these dangerous machines? A machine that can rip your hand off your arm would do horrible things to a small critter.

[@jamesthebuilder4414]

Jimmy, thank you so much for these videos you are really a big inspiration to me. Im 17 this year and just started my own business of making stuff with industrial pipes for furnitures, tables, shelvings, and i hope that i can learn to be more like you. Your skills and ideas are just off the hook. I hope to get more involved in metal and wood so that i can make the coool things u are making now. Please dont stop these videos and once again thank you!

[@christophertharp7763]

42 door stops...and one circle.LOL

[@garymccoy2888]

Jimmy, watch every video. Thanks for doing them. This table saw idea for box joints is great. So simple. Add a couple of blades to your dado stack and you could have any size you want.

[@tacticalultimatum]

I don't need more than six inches Jimmy 2016

[@Joe-hv4xr]

Great video as always. A bit of an aside to your wooden spring is just to make a small section of kerf board right where you need your corners (help satiate some of the trolls too I am sure). Take a bit of ply. Set the blade to cut up to a strong 1/16th of the surface. Run a series of grooves on the back of the ply where you want the bend. You can adjust the spacing and depth of cut as needed depending on the curve you want and the material you are using. Bend and be happy. Stopping shy of the face keeps the show side nice and clean. You still have to address the edges where the kerfs come through - but that is generally easily sorted. You don't need to mess with veneers either.

[@starforged]

I am very concerned about Spike (your cat)). He is the only thing in the shop that doesn't have a Direst stenciled on him. There are cat buglers out there. Also when I'm cross cutting I set my fence up with a block of wood usually 1" at the start. When the wood gets to the saw blade it is 1' from the fence and it won't bind. Thanks for all you do...

[@CantankerousOB]

That over confidence you mentioned is going to get me one day. Always in a hurry, always confident it "won't happen to me"... Great tips bud.

[@dpmakestuff]

Troll Voice FTW! I'm dying...

[@brucegeil9714]

I love your videos. They are full of information and entertaining. Thank you for passing along all the good tips. I have done some things I have learned from watching your channel to my plumbing business and has helped a lot. Thanks again.

[@blakelawrence1891]

Blake Lawrence what? 20 billion? man I don't got time to screw around bye.

[@markbonham3477]

Every man I ever met who said he hated cats also loved to kick his wife and dog around as well. When you meet a man who adores cats and their independence you will find a compassionate man whom you can trust. Mr. Diresta, your skill sets which are abundant and genius combined with your thirst for knowledge and a willingness to share that got you where you are today. Thanks for loving that cat as your love for him is all part of the bigger picture! Your the bomb dude!

[@alexpettigrew8971]

Great tips. I call that point at which I am too tired to work safely the "stupid time". I've gotten better at realizing I'm there and have been fortunate to have not shed blood... lately. I use the guard whenever possible. That is a personal choice so I'll not safety troll at you. Thanks for sharing.

[@rochat]

$15 grand! I really do love my "evil socialist healthcare system" here in Canada. Great video.

[@rdouthwaite]

rochat Our UK "evil socialist healthcare system" ain't too shabby either

[@spencermargosian7492]

US: 3rd world healthcare programs in a 1st world country.

[@bananastickman2]

rochat You people are pretty ignorant of our society in the USA. I suggest you don't make uninformed statements with out at least trying to do some research. I have free health care in the USA and will for life, but that care is not to my liking because we all know the government does things so well. I pay for my healthcare and have used it in dire situations. We have very excellent health care. I pay 50 dollars a month. Again I know its hard but educate yourselves.

[@bananastickman2]

***** Oh we are setting pretty good. What the problem is the free loaders and now since Obozo has given more handouts to the idiots our country is in worse shape. Obama is the laughing stock of the USA. I guess giving free phones out wasn't enough. Also good luck in your country. I hope you stay. We don't need anymore free loaders in the USA.

[@rochat]

FreedomPrepper You sound like fun.

[@BarryHull]

Thank you Jimmy. One of the best, most useful, strategic videos on the internet, funny too. Should be required viewing for anyone using a table saw. There are many many good tool brands out there, and for most equipment it isn't so important, but considering the inherent dangers of the table saw, SawStop for me.

[@debrouillard2]

15000$ for a botched pinky, welcome to the U.S. health system!

[@baucomfamily]

Michael Huard In most of the world they would finish cutting it off, stitch it up, and send you on your way for about $300.

[@debrouillard2]

In Canada, they fix it, for free

[@true227]

in Russia it does not require 300$. Free. Only cut and goodbye) All for people.

[@Scott_6666]

There's no such thing as free. Do you really think the doctors work for free. Believe me, you are paying for it. And even if you never get hurt or sick, you're paying for all the other idiots' hospital bills through TAXES.

[@xneakerzxneakerz2567]

Then come to Indonesia. If you use Indonesian health care program, they will cut it and finished for free. So my brother got it reattached for about $1500. But again cost of living here is 10% of that U.S.

[@marks3478]

I loved your comment. " That's how you make 42 door stops and one circle." I work in theatre and we use Lots of doors stopsbackstage. They are painted black of course. Great video.

[@kdm0425]

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

Thanks for this video, Jimmy - your timing is perfect. My youngest daughter is getting into DIY and I just got her a table saw (I refurbished a Rockwell Model 10 that I got a great deal on.) Gonna share this one with her and, if necessary, stand over her while she watches it - especially your safety commentary. Peace, sunshine, and green lights to you brother.

[@magnum1165]

Free? No such thing. I would hope you know who paid for it... because, you did.

[@kencarp57]

thank you Jimmy. i spent 10 years as a machinists and still have all my fingers. yup knew a few 9 finger willies. We all got to think machines don't care. You have to. love the tips

15000 for reattaching your pinky? What kind of a fucked up medical care you have in the us? Even without healthcare this should not cost much. I know it doesn't cost a thing here in Sweden. Time to move jimmy! Keep up the good videos tho! Love them!

[@HolyCrapAA]

+Christian Pastoor Actually we do pay in Sweden. Around 20 bucks per visit up to $100-150/year and free after that. And medication is free after around $200/year. But it is very cheap but we do pay it with taxes but everybody can afford it. To bad the dentist dont cost the same, its much more expensive. Btw, $15000 for a half a pinky? I would not attached it for that price. Hell you should sell that piece of a famous pinky on Ebay, maybe you made money instead of having a crooked pinky.

+Christian Pastoor Sweden is a welfare country

[@andrewcady9443]

Any kind of surgery is going to cost at least $5k, and something like reattaching nerves probably requires an elite surgeon. Even in Sweden the hospital bills just as much I'm sure, even if the patient does not pay the bill.

[@jamesbizs]

Yeah, it cost nothing in Sweden. FOR YOU. Everyone else had to pay for that surgery. People like you don't care, because it's free, so you don't even KNOW how much things actually cost. So when you hear about the actual cost of things in places where people actually pay for it, it shocks you. Ignorance sure is bliss

sweden does not have to fund an army....and has a homogeneous society....thus socialist medicine will work for the short term. one day, when sweden is overrun, and the us does not come to your aid, then you will not pop off like a little brat

[@ashokmoghe8035]

This is a great video - the last few minutes talking about table saw accident is invaluable. Thanks for sharing everything. Right amount of humor kept me engaged too. Already watched your bandsaw tips video. Looking forward to more tips videos. Keep safe and keep us inspiring. Thank you.

dude... american healthcare system sucks... and I'm saying this from the middle east :D surely that should mean something :D

[@rougn]

Ya you have no idea how the health system works :D

[@heli400]

thanks for sharing your mindset prior to your injury. it's good to check that confidence/complacency at the door when approaching the table saw. I still get nervous cutting on the thing and glad I do!

The troll segments make me cringe, but not because they make me feel awkward. They make me cringe because given the chance to acknowledge some of your viewers you're acknowledging the ones you dislike, over the ones you like. Sure it's easier to do because they're the ones you notice, but I seem to remember an adage 'don't feed the trolls'.

[@jimmydiresta]

+Nathaniel Clark i answer lot more positive ..just look.. also delete most of the negs with out a comment.

[@ClarkManorDesign]

You would agree that not all people who watch a video comment, so you're more likely to show people that you acknowledge the trolls over the positive comments. To set the record straight I love your videos, this was only intended to be constructive criticism.

[@salute31]

+jimmydiresta really liked the addition of the troll, you acknowledge your viewers making videos specially these tips videos. trolls will always be trolls either you feed them or not. keep the good work, thanks.

[@davidrios5126]

Great video! I'm new to wood working and loved the way you showed the versatility of the table saw.

[@aeonwine]

I've been a watcher of your videos for a while, and a recent subscriber, and i have to say this is a great video. The take away about having to be present around table saws - or any power tools for that matter - is probably the biggest piece of advice i took away from it. The tips and tricks are cool, but thank you for letting me learn from your mistake. I love the build videos, they inspire me to make stuff, and hopefully get better each time. Keep it up.

[@gedkealmen]

Hey Jimmy... thanks man. Especially for the safety talk and for sharing your accident. It really changed my perspective on how to use thetable saw and I assure you safety habits will improve un my workshop thanks to what you said. I just recently started to use it regularly and I already felt overconfident and began getting my hands too close to the blade. No more... thanks again!

[@mikeanna432]

Great tips. Just had a minor table saw accident and luckily still have my right thumb. I went to Rockler and now own a Saw Stop.

[@JDeWittDIY]

Thanks for sharing the story of your injury. We have to remember it can happen to any of us in a split second regardless of the experience we may have.

[@miknefish1]

injuries and pain teach us a lot. Glad you are all healed up!

[@juls4o]

Jimmy DiResta Honestly, my dream and passion for a long time is to have a workshop, and do stuff like you do. I found your videos so inspirational, that I'm making first steps to make my own workshop!! Thank you for sharing your projects and tips with us!!
