Disclaimer: These videos are intended for entertainment and inspiration. Working in a wood shop, metal shop, welding shop, or auto shop is dangerous without proper safety and experience. Always seek professional advice and training before using any power tools/machinery/equipment.

Do not attempt anything simply because you saw it in one of my videos. Be smart, use common sense, respect your power tools/machines, and be safe.
