Everyone who is complaining that the thumbnail didn't match the video should know that if you go to the recommended videos to the right of the comments section you can hover your mouse over any part of a video's thumbnail or video information, it shows a preview of the video which can help dispel some clickbait. It works on Androids too by exiting fullscreen to make KZbin verticle then scrolling down and hovering over suggested videos.

This is not the woodworking video that I'd recommend if you wanted to learn safe woodworking practices. No masks, blade guards, safe blade heights, keeping fingers away from the blade, etc. But, you have to admit, he's older than dirt and still has all of his fingers and his skills are out of this world.

[@DTWoodworking]

Thanks you for watching and comment

[@woodwood5164]

I agree, I almost lost my fingers on a spindle moulder making a chess table 50 years ago, and as a 72 year carpenter/joiner I picked up (sad I know) on the poor mitre on the one corner. It is something we chippies take extra care over. I, sadly also did not use ear protectors for many years and now I am suffering the consequences. I also used a table saw without a guard and a riving knife for years and did have a few 'kick-back' accidents. I would advise any 'improvers' to watch and watch youtube safety videos until they are sick of them, we never had them and I know a few tradesmen with missing digit's because of lack of respect to the machinery. Incidentally, many years ago, we had fluorescent lights in the workshop and they would 'harmonise' with the circular saw, it made it look as though the blade was still and there was an almost irresistable urge to check with your hand, doh!. Stay safe people.

this was a great learning video and the table top was awesome , over all it was a success. But the miters were a little off and the legs also could have been a little more finished and flattened on the sides . I think if more attention was given to precision and better wood selection this would have been fantastic , still I give it a thumbs up !
