This guy actually touches the blade with his finger.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiYoBbEZwlk
I think that that would be perfect for a high school woodworking class. For only $60 it seems well worth it.

Yeah…haha we are only aloud to use jigsaws, a huge pain.
Really? We can use metal lathes here.
I remember when I was in shop class years and years ago, I was using a planer and my shirt got stuck in the planer. Pulled it completely in. Really stupid. Lucky I didn’t loose a finger or hand or more.
There is a good sized one in our class. It takes a good 10 seconds to stop turning. We have had some close calls but nothing beyond a minor cut or bruise.
Jeez guys…we have to sit with hand planers and go to town… try ripping 4×8 sheets with a jigsaw!!!!!! Crazy isnt it!!!
LOL. It must take an hour to cut a sheet of plywood with a jigsaw. It must be hard to cut a straight line also. But then again a circular saw is very dangerous. You could cut a leg or arm. To bad there isn’t a cheap robot arm that could cut wood for us.
You could probably make something now the Maker Types build all sorts of cool stuff.
I guess the mentality of today’s society is different than it was 20-30 years ago. If I’d called my dad and told I’d lost a finger in a shop class accident he’d have said “Won’t do that again will you?”.
Of course I come from an era where things like 2nd hand smoke, seat belts, school shootings, bullying, and trans fat, were of no concern to anyone.
Conductors Dad would say:
Too fat? Join the football team
Getting bullied? Hit him in the nose or with a big rock
Seat belts? Pussies and old women wear seat belts!
Car seat? Jesus Christ Karen, he’s almost 2 years old!
2nd hand smoke causes cancer? Ah Hell, every fucking thing causes cancer these days. I didn’t kill me
You cut your finger off? Way to go. What are you crying about? Put some Merthiolate on it.
Conductor: What’s that white powder in those mason jars in the garage?
Conductors Dad: Agent Orange
Conductor: Like the shit that messed up all those guys in Vietnam?
Conductors Dad: Same shit
Conductor: Didn’t the outlaw that shit because it was too dangerous?
Conductors Dad: Ah Hell, they outlaw everything that fucking works. Probably those Commie bastards in California. You wanna be Captain fucking Planet, or do you wanna kill that brush? I can put your ass out there with a weedeater and a hatchet, doesn’t matter to me.
Oh this causes cancer in California, good thing we aren’t in California.
We actually had a kid cut off two fingers on a miter saw before. He just cut one off but then he went to show the shop teacher, he asked how did you do that. The kid said like this, and cut off another finger just to show him how.

After hearing that Carroll isn’t so bad after all. Poor Bastards. I did learn that a punch to the throat ends a fight fast.
Hell that’s nothin. I have male cousins named Kim and Kelly, their fathers name is Sharon! At least you share a name with one of the coolest automotive designers and racer, Caroll Shelby.
Ol’ boy down the road when I was growing up was named Sherman Herman Irey Tucker. His mailbox said S.H.I.T. Swear to God 😆
Lol conductor!
