What not to do on the Table Saw

Post by pennview »

Came across the photo on Flickr that kind of makes you nervous just thinking about it, especially with that pile of wood behind the saw operator that still needs to be cut --

How could anyone think that is a good idea. It leaves me speechless. :rolleyes:

Yeah, that is a bit scarey. I can see what he is using it for but I wonder what its original purpose was. With a blade that big one would think it was for something other than cutting up fire wood.

That looks like the machine the Penguin strapped Batman and Robin to.

Wait!!

It's all good, he's got safety glasses on. Everyone knows that safety glasses are all you need to be safe. Kinda like a hard hat on a construction site with nothing overhead. Got the hard hat, you're safe.

Got the Safety glasses, you're safe.
