I'm a project manager, so kind of a mixed bag. Some things will go off without a hitch, maybe even faster. Others will fall to pieces from a logistics and budgetary aspect. Loads of toilets will be gold plated and encrusted in diamonds

Possible to do solo with the right tools/enough muscle and stubbornness, much easier with 2 people

Gaming, listening to emo music, thinking engineering is cool as shit, willing to do a boring job to make more money than I can in engineering (project management)

Any chance it's allergy related? I get hit pretty hard in the spring and early fall with allergies, and it has always felt remarkably similar to the early signs of when I had COVID.

Reminds me of the Morrowind UI

When I first started woodworking, I was in an uninsulated shed in Alaska and didn't bother with anything more than a crappy dust mask. After my first project, I was coughing dust and blowing sawdust out of my nose for a few days. Fuuuuuuuck that.

Since then, I've moved a few times, upgraded my dust collection setup, and I still just wear a respirator with P100 cartridges (unless I'm finishing, in which case I'll use the VOC cartridges).

Even with proper dust collection, I'd rather just wear PPE. At this point, I view having good dust collection as more of a time saver for cleaning than actual protection.

Lol can't say I recommend either experience. As far as power tool injuries go, scroll saw is probably the best one to do it on. I think it was completely healed in a few days, but basically just a shallow cut. Be careful, don't get complacent, and you should be able to avoid major injuries!

Any power tool can hurt you. I had a piece of maple kickback and explode on a miter saw, which I didn't even know was possible.

Luckily, the only actual injury I've gotten while woodworking was on a scroll saw, which is basically just a sewing machine with a small saw blade. Piece of wood pinched around the blade and jerked up, took the back of my finger against the blade. Minimal damage, but it bled like a stuck pig for a bit

Playing D&D with some people on Friday, then setting up my new Sawstop table saw. After that, building a miter saw station for some storage and more effective use of space in my shop. I doubt I'll finish that, but then I need to finish restoring an old planer from sometime between 1935 and 1986 (got everything taken apart, cleaned up, painted, put back together, just need to rewire it) so I can sell my cheap one. If I manage to get all of that done, then I have some nightstands to build

It's super cool from an engineering standpoint! And I'm rather attached to my fingers, I'd like it to stay that way. Until I got a shaper, I would say the job site table saw I have was the most dangerous tool in my shop. That shaper scares the shit out of me. Just from a volume and complacency standpoint, I'm still more likely to have an accident on the table saw than any other tool, but that shaper can and will eat your entire hand.

Really cool video, thanks for sharing! The high speed test makes me feel even better about this purchase!
