Safely First: Learning how to operate power and hand toots is essential for developing sale woodworking practices.

Where should Rick White's hands be tor this miter cut? As Mark Hampton suggests, you should avoid the position at far right, even if the blade is set low. The position immediately at right is safer.

WJ Responds:

You are not the only person who is a bit jealous of tools available to Norm for his projects. The New Yankee Workshop really is equipped with just about any power tool Norm could ever need. As for how much of the actual woodworking Norm does. I had the opportunity to visit the NYW and was pleasantly surprised. As the project was moving from step to step. I had assumed that an army of woodworking aides would sweep in. Wrong.

Norm moved easily from tool to really cool tool, building the next step to be videotaped. So, Norm builds it all... every bit.

Wlifle table saws are notoriously hard lo guard (and. to face facts, remain mostly unguarded), his sled, which requires the removal of the factory guard, presents the perfect opportunity to install a full-length blade guard.
