As demonstrated by LockPickingLawyer in video 935, simplisafe can be bypassed with a $2 remote. The wireless sensors present a huge vulnerability. By publically endorsing the brand and sharing that you trust them in your workshop, you are telling would-be thieves exactly how to gain access to your unattended workshop. Security devices are most effective when people don't know they are there. Once bad actors know the service you use, they can lookup the vulnerabilities.

[@Mike_Pedals]

I was thinking the same thing

[@nooneyouknowhere6148]

If they only had stainless foil at the FIF forge......

[@TheBigburcie]

I think the burnt part is important. Oxidation provides a surface that wouldn't bond. Now if they do white-out, then line it with fresh foil it might separate, leaving only a tiny stainless surface to grind off.

[@leviathanmdk]

One of them had it falling of like that with white out and tissue paper.

[@thonnogeengineering7745]

It was never a log splitter, it's the same concept but that's was completely home made for one intention, to be a press

[@wacho4xj]

Actually that band saw was what I loved.

[@philochristos]

This has now become one of the most valuable videos on KZbin. There was a guy on Forged in Fire who lined his canister with a paper towel, and he had no problems with the canister sticking. I don't know why more people haven't done that. It seemed to work like a dream. But this seems to work even better. It'll be interesting to see if this information makes it to forged in fire and if anybody starts doing it like this.
