Just a safety comment. It is bad practice to wear gloves when using stationary, rotating power tools.

[@RealisticDIYers]

Thank you for this. We really welcome comments regarding safety. We are only diyers and do not claim to know everything.
We did consider this while filming. Yet, we have not been able to find a clear official statement that supports this.
HSE does not specifically state this in the woodworking practices (it does state though the use of push sticks etc which mistakenly we didn't use, as well as not to place body parts directly over the cutter).
No use of gloves is stated on construction rotating machines as far as we know.
On the other hand, it is stated that PPE should be suitable and fit to the body parts to prevent entanglement. In the case of this video the gloves are firm to the hands and therefore our interpretation is to use them to prevent injuries from other hazards (not particularly the planer blade).
We have seen so much discussion on Facebook as well regarding this issue with varying opinions and we are not sure what is right and what is wrong.

@@RealisticDIYers from a few decades working with power tools and seeing what gloves can cause: if your finger hits a router bit it will usually take a chunk out of your finger and release it. your skin is pretty weak, very wet and easily sliced through. a glove on the other hand is intended to be durable, difficult to slice through or tear, giving the tool the opportunity to pull the glove and the hand inside of it directly into the cutting head or blade. every training and certification course i have taken has emphasised not wearing gloves around routers and power saws. gloves protect well from slow moving things but they are very dangerous around fast moving things. try asking a professional cabinet shop, or trade school if you want to be sure this isn't just internet wisdom. i'd hate to see ya'll get the bad end of that sorta life altering injury. cheers and good luck. your channel is great fun so far.

@jsmxwll Thank you for this. We have asked professionals from time to time (including Kat's dad, who was an excellent woodworker and clockmaking craftsman), and they told us not to use gloves in such activities. Yet there are still other professionals that say the opposite (as I describe it above).
I suppose we should start following the advice of no gloves.
Thanks to both of you again.
