Re: Close call with table saw kickback
Yah, you're probably right, the thing is it's not really a properly equipped shop, it's a shared shop with a bunch of people who have donated stuff from their own collections (long story). Anyway, I think we're doing the other two boards by hand. The only reason we did with the table saw is we were being kind of lazy and had originally planned on the radial arm saw but since that wasn't working switched to the table. For the record we did double check with a skilled carpenter and he said go for it.
This is also a point that you should always a)think before you do something, b)never take someone's advice at face value c)learn from your mistakes, I won't be trying this again.
