Dude. Tw words: Push Stick. This vid is a masterclass in unsafe practices. If you’re not going to do it for yourself, do it for your viewers, especially the beginners.
Very well made! Your clamps are impressive!! Your workmanship is exemplary. However, don't be macho about safety. No goggles, no earmuffs, no push stick. This part is amateur. Does it take deafness, blindness, and fingers chopped off to learn about safety? Real pros don't take chances. Those who do, have a secret death wish. We would not want to see such a good woodworker being injured or blinded. Be safe.
Finally I find a real big carpentry in America . But that is not yours, you rent in there , or . Beautiful Formatkreisäge , did not know that there is something like this in America. Nice frame, good work! Grüße aus Gremany!
Every woodworker should be wrapped in bubble wrap for safety. 40 years of woodworking and I have never been bitten by a blade...... My question is what do you wonders of wood working do to defend yourselves from those dreaded slivers?
The amount of risk that is acceptable to take from one person to the next is all relative on your level of experience and talent. Who is anyone to tell a professional what is and what isn't an acceptable level of risk to take in his or hers field of work? Keep up the good work brother!
Besides not using a push stick as mentioned by others, what's with the spring clamp on the blade guard! Not that we all haven't done it, or something similar. *cough* But in a teaching video....
you do it 24/7 and look damn good at doing it. The problem is if something happens, will you be able to continue your work? is it worth the risk to save a few seconds per cut? if you jump out of a plane, your only option to make it a bit safer is to use a parachute. the way to make it indefinitely safe is to just not jump.
:) Developing a series of databases for workplace safety, I've seen 'far more' than my share of severed and mangled digits and hands/limbs from Industrial accidents. A good many are of people who are in similar environments (high volume, specialized) and some of them with more tool experience than your years here on this earth. They too were very aware of their limits until of course, something small happened that was 'just beyond' their control, ultimately ending in disaster. Pushing your fingers down into pieces of wood and over the blade is the big one for me. Those photos were 'spectacularly interesting' and included some of the oddest Rips (not cuts) and bone Fractures that I ever catalogued from workshop accidents. Oddly it's not the missing or partial digits that keeps someone out of the shop, but the subsequent nerve damage that ends a career. Anyway, Good Luck!
Complacency is the word here. A colleague of mine never used a push stick as he also did this “24/7” He now has two fingers. Man, what’s a few extra minutes on cutting times ....
Very nice equipment to make just about anything.. 99.99% of people don't have that equipment and the few that do certainly would know how to make a frame. :)
Hey buddy watched all your vids a few times now. Love your work. Wondering if you're planning on creating more videos? I'd actually like a shop tour. I'm very interested in the machines you use.
hey directorgtr, i might be doing a shop tour in the future, i am actually building a shop in the garage. so once i am set up, ill start to build again. i just got the electrical put in. sorry for the delay.
+Broken Edge Designs Sounds excellent my man. I just completed insulating the walls and attic and put up drywall on the walls and ceiling. It's gonna be a great place to work now! Just gotta get myself a nice 80K btu heater in there for my cold Wisconsin winters then I'll be set... aside from purchasing a few more used woodworking machines and typical hand tools.
I got lucky and will have all my grandpas woodworking equipment. Custom furniture artist for 70 years as a hobby but he has decent machines. Still gotta buy them from him but at a grandson discount haha my wife doesn't like me racking up any bills :0
May I draw your attention to his hands! Ladies and gentlemen, notice that he still has ALL his fingers! So much for safety rules. When you know what you're doing you don't need all that foo-fer-all!
Mucha maquiina cara un taller impresionante pero la verdad que es muy basico lo tuyo. Hay carpinteros que con un serrucho un par de formones y madera hacen trabajos diez veces mejores. Saludos desde Argentina.
Beautiful. In the construction process would you do anything different if this mirror were going on a 3 season porch, not in direct contact with the elements, in a 4 season climate?
That frame is perfect. I have some similar wood and am going to build one this weekend. Do you remember what the widths of your mitered pieces are. My mirror is a litter bigger, but your frame is the perfect size. Maybe 3 inches for the inside pieces and 1.5 inches for the outside pieces?
+Larché Jacques Clarel Yup, a 2x4 kicked up from the saw, without even thinking I pushed it back down and the blade came through and bit off the tip of my middle finger. Greatful it was just the tip!
You do some awesome stuff with this wood. I made some pallet wood shelves for a customer in one of my videos and they look like total crap in comparison to your stuff haha.
I know it’s a production shop and time is money. Yet the first time you lose that finger, nothing is worth the time saved. Amazing infrastructure nevertheless.
great work my man! I really enjoy your videos... I'm really impressed with that system you use to hang the mirrors on the wall... Sorry you're getting assaulted buy the safety police LOL
Nice work man, I find myself pulling splinters out of my fingers a quite a bit while working with reclaimed wood. What's the name and source for the Z type track?
no problem glad you liked the video. lol i wish i had all this stuff.. its the company that i worked for. im building up my garage and ill be making videos from home.
Forget the picture frame, I want this guys shop.
That's one gizmo filled hitech workshop I have seen. And no long introductions and boring explanations. 👍great
Simple, beautiful, and man that table and clamp system is freakin awesome!
thanks ! Christopher Kouri
Every time I see someone cutting wood without a pusher it makes me instinctively flinch and pull my hands back🤣
Wow, you make it seem so easy, probably for you. Great work! You are very thorough, hope you keep making more tutorials!
Footnote: Please wear gloves and mask so your body doesn’t absorb the chemicals. It will affect you later in life.
Dude. Tw words: Push Stick. This vid is a masterclass in unsafe practices. If you’re not going to do it for yourself, do it for your viewers, especially the beginners.
Wow! I love your rustic frame great job! Your shop is to die for
Thanks Debbie!
Awesome mirror. Love all your gear too. Makes it look so easy.
Thanks!
Ha! Published on my bday last year. Just what I wanted. Beautiful!
That turned out awesome.. and that workshop is amazing.
That frame is bullet proof! Very Nice.
Just the style I’m looking for. Thanks!
i love all your projects...genius!
that shop looks epic, and that slanted metal surface/workbech is awesome
Wish I could be this talented. awesome bro! -From Dallas, tx
+Brandon Brown thanks dude, I appreciate it!
Damn that hydraulic or compressed air table is the bomb!
PintoBlades ya i love it. its great for making doors.
Drooling over your tools!
Awesome job and tools... However this is the clear definition of complacency...
Beautiful.
You have the best shop!
yes its a pretty nice shop, but i do not work there anymore. i am building up my garage and now i work for a company called www.designergrains.com.
Dayummmm. This makes me realize my wife is 100% wrong about me having too many tools.... I need more now lol
Same here; am a beginner and always lambasted for buying more 🛠 🧰
I sucked my piles up into the back of my throat watching your table saw technique...
Very nice work although this is not a typical DIY given the fact that most of us to not have the luxury of your tools.
my videos are for inspiration.
Thats some cuttin gluein and screwing for a mirror...theres less holding my house up : )
nice job though.
this guy is the best....he has got tools for everything
thanks! +smilo75
It’s not a race, take your time.😉
so Simple , so NICE!

We would not want to see such a good woodworker being injured or blinded. Be safe.
Your tools are most impressive!! I would love to come work in your shop for a day!!
I agree!!
what amazing kit!!
Finally I find a real big carpentry in America . But that is not yours, you rent in there , or . Beautiful Formatkreisäge , did not know that there is something like this in America. Nice frame, good work! Grüße aus Gremany!
+max well designs thanks! I work for a company here in California, my boss lets me play in his shop!!
wow your shop is amazing!
great work and that shop.. wtf.. it's bad ass.
Exceptional tools. Exceptional talent. Exceptional workmanship.... and exceptional stupidity for the ignorance on safety!!!!!!
agreed. wondering if he has lost a finger yet and hoping he will be more careful!
Every woodworker should be wrapped in bubble wrap for safety. 40 years of woodworking and I have never been bitten by a blade...... My question is what do you wonders of wood working do to defend yourselves from those dreaded slivers?
Came out real nice!

thanks for the support Ronald!
very nice work. inspirational!
Man, is that your shop? that's super impressive. those machines are out of this world.
+The Saint I wish, its the company I work for. they let me use all the tools!!!
Besides not using a push stick as mentioned by others, what's with the spring clamp on the blade guard! Not that we all haven't done it, or something similar. *cough* But in a teaching video....
I didn't use a spring clamp but HAVE used a door shim on a circular saw to hold the guard up :o
my videos arent meant to teach. just to give ideas on projects.
Just because you still have all your fingers doesn’t mean you’re using good judgment.
I do this 24 7. I know my limits.
Didn't mean to be personally critical my friend, just a reminder that disaster is lurking within one small lapse of judgment.
you do it 24/7 and look damn good at doing it. The problem is if something happens, will you be able to continue your work? is it worth the risk to save a few seconds per cut? if you jump out of a plane, your only option to make it a bit safer is to use a parachute. the way to make it indefinitely safe is to just not jump.

Out of everything in that shop I think i can afford the air he breathed.
awesome stuff really love it. please use some push stick for your table saw. so dangerous dear.
Omer Afzal thanks!
Eres muy valiente al no cuidar tus manos.
Classy operation, but please use a push stick when using a table saw...safety first, right!
Also me.., i want this guys shop.
I can build more than mirror frame...hehehe.
Very nice equipment to make just about anything.. 99.99% of people don't have that equipment and the few that do certainly would know how to make a frame. :)
great work, I like your style ;)
Maurizio Cattaneo thanks for the support!!
super beau!!!!
push sticks! :) scared just watchin. I know it didnt happen, but it might, one day ...
shoot!
no surprise he made a frame in 7 min...lol...get a load of the tools!
I would live in that shop if it belonged to me.
Hey buddy watched all your vids a few times now. Love your work. Wondering if you're planning on creating more videos? I'd actually like a shop tour. I'm very interested in the machines you use.

directorgtr ya its crazy how much tools i need to do woodworking. i'm racking up a big bill!!
I got lucky and will have all my grandpas woodworking equipment. Custom furniture artist for 70 years as a hobby but he has decent machines. Still gotta buy them from him but at a grandson discount haha my wife doesn't like me racking up any bills :0
I hope you don't lose a finger.
May I draw your attention to his hands! Ladies and gentlemen, notice that he still has ALL his fingers! So much for safety rules. When you know what you're doing you don't need all that foo-fer-all!
What happened to hand crafted 😅
Ok, now do it without the hydraulic stuff including the brad nailer and biscuit joiner.
men, awesome work. You should use a push stick, we don't want you lose one finger! Be fine.

wow awesome! !!
+Ericka arredondo thanks!
muy cool saludo de venezuela
Good work! love your setup.#SICK
+REGINALD TAYLOR thanks for watching!!
Beautiful. In the construction process would you do anything different if this mirror were going on a 3 season porch, not in direct contact with the elements, in a 4 season climate?
I would probably just put a marine grade finish on it. front and back.
Your lack of a push stick makes me cringe but good looking frame.
That frame is perfect. I have some similar wood and am going to build one this weekend. Do you remember what the widths of your mitered pieces are. My mirror is a litter bigger, but your frame is the perfect size. Maybe 3 inches for the inside pieces and 1.5 inches for the outside pieces?
ya 3" inside and 2" outside
I have never seen such unsafe use of his sawing equipment. Has he ever heard of push sticks. I hope his finger keep him company in the future.
Its all about the tools
Love your videos. They inspire me a lot. But I always cringe when I see you using the Table Saw with out push sticks or aids. Be Safe. Thanks Again.
oldsoul rider thanks glad the videos help.
thank you bro u solved my prblm ❤️
Awesome, glad the video helped!
omg man, your fingers get too close to the blade.... awesome job nonetheless!
+Frank Hernandez thanks! ya, I need to start using a push stick especially with the reclaimed woods.
+Broken Edge Designs yeah these tend to be wobbly and also a moment of inattention results in hours of bleeding and pain :)
+Larché Jacques Clarel I have one less finger tip to support your statement!
really?
+Larché Jacques Clarel Yup, a 2x4 kicked up from the saw, without even thinking I pushed it back down and the blade came through and bit off the tip of my middle finger. Greatful it was just the tip!
You do some awesome stuff with this wood. I made some pallet wood shelves for a customer in one of my videos and they look like total crap in comparison to your stuff haha.
thanks Diesineveryfilm Customs. ya it was free wood, great way to start from nothing!
I know it’s a production shop and time is money. Yet the first time you lose that finger, nothing is worth the time saved. Amazing infrastructure nevertheless.
Klasse,jeder hat natürlich eine Profiwerkstatt und kann im Nu solche Rahmen bauen 🤦
was that outside border already routed to fit around the main frame or did you do that?
i made the dado so it would fit.
great work my man! I really enjoy your videos... I'm really impressed with that system you use to hang the mirrors on the wall... Sorry you're getting assaulted buy the safety police LOL
wrecked4life thanks for the support! you can find that hanging system at the hardware store. ya i dont mind the safety police.
Dam bro, your fingers get so close to that blade 😰😰
yes they do!
Amazing work man! Are you in Utah by chance?? I need picture frames like these for my photography business.
Hey, no sorry. I am located in CA
Amazing work man!
i just feel dumb with my table saw now
Nice job, what's the hanging bracket called you use
its called OOK hangman french cleat
Showing off your tools?!
wow man that's awesome !
Havn't watched it all yet. Had to stop and go make some PUSH STICKS. I was cringing all the time !
And I thought that I was buck nutty using a table saw
Nice work. Are you spraying polyurethane on these projects?
+50guitar thanks! its acrylic lacquer based
a real DIY project lol
What are the clips called that you used to secure the mirror in place with the backing?
Ava Price they are called Glazier Points. they go in easy in soft woods, but difficult in hardwoods.
wait how many finger you holding?? wait none cuz you forgot the push stick 🤞
I hate when people run a table saw without a push stick!! You can literally pick one up off the ground for free and save your fingers..
Love your stuff!!! What did you use to hang picture??
Samuel Rosenau its called OOK hangman french cleat. got it at home depot. thanks for watching!!
So the wood was free... How much did the shop cost?
ha! Adam K i don't think you want to know! the shop isn't mine. i just work there. my boss lets me play.
Whats the machine at 3:26? I assume it makes angled holes
nvrfollowb5 it makes pocket holes, it's a company called castle machine
Nice work man, I find myself pulling splinters out of my fingers a quite a bit while working with reclaimed wood. What's the name and source for the Z type track?
+Kevin Fitzpatrick ya not the best stuff to work with but it was free. the track I used was from home depot OOK Hangman 200 lb. French Cleat
subbed!
What is the hanger called and where do you get them?
home depot carries it. OOK Hangman 200 lb. French Cleat
Thanks! No home depot around these parts so I will check around for it. I have a ton of this wood and like your mirror and shelf design videos.
Man thanks for sparing all the bs blah blah blah. great work! Quick question, Can I borrow all your shit? lol got it goin on playboy
no problem glad you liked the video. lol i wish i had all this stuff.. its the company that i worked for. im building up my garage and ill be making videos from home.
Repost this video with the song, "Those Damned Blue-Collar Tweekers" in the background...
Won't have fingers for long.
travail dangereux
I can't do mimes at 2x speed and noise.
Are those 4mm tenons?
WoodWorkingGuy MN sorry i do not remember what i used but it might of been the 4 x 20mm or the 5 x 30mm tenon.
No worries. I have 5 x 30 so I'll just use those. Love your videos!!
No safety at all.
Too stressful to watch!!!
I cant watch
