OKAY I did that Tom. Three times.
I hope these films were made before push sticks and push blocks. It scares me every time he gets close to the blade and even more when he passes his hand over the blade while cutting dados and using the shaper.

Dusty, I'd say that these were made in about 1953/55.

I was impressed to see "handy neighbor" use his fence (with relief spacer for safety) to make repeated length cross cuts.
Way cool

I loved it! Although it really was scary in the first one that the first thing he did was make a crosscut followed by a rip cut without turning off the saw as he mounted the fence. Ahhhh, those were simpler times.......

I was impressed to see how easily his sheet goods came off the outfeed side, magically without falling to the floor. It helps to have a few extra hands catch the sheet off-camera.
Tom,
Why make these videos private? Why not share them with all of YouTube? I'd like to add them to one of my playlists. If you're worried about copyright, Magna is long gone. Just a suggestion.
