re: yikes!

He wanted to make a round piece of plywood for a turntable, so he found the center of a piece, used a compass to mark it out. Cut it out rough and slightly oversized with a jig saw. Then drilled a small hole in the center, and used a nail to tack it to the edge of a work table. Then he spun up that death machine, and scooted the table towards the blade until the teeth made contact. Then he turned the workpiece and let the spinning Blade O’ Death nibble the edge until it was round.
He didn’t get hurt. I have no idea how that happened, but he didnt.
Sad thing is I KNOW he has a band saw that his father left him. He said he didn’t use it because he didn’t know how it works.
