Most of us have taken chances in the process of working on projects in and out of our shops. We all hope that our past experience combined with some luck will let us "get by" without incident. The amount of "chance" we are willing to take often decides the outcome.

Others would seem to depend solely on the grace of a higher power to keep them safe or are unaware of the grave danger they face. Doesn't he seem happy, even proud?

I do not believe that this is an actor, this is a man of faith and likely an emergency room statistic yet to happen.

The saw could be made safe and usable - if it was properly rebuilt - but it is unlikely he has the knowledge to do that either.

My advice to him: take some classes, read some books, get a friend with more ability and skill to help fix the saw and for heaven's sake just buy a NEW motor and switch for the saw.

I would, however, suggest you stop video taping your efforts.

If your insurance company sees this stuff and they will NEVER pay your medical bills again!
