Haha. I was wondering!

The purpose was to get views which has been accomplished 2.1 million times to date.

They can be dangerous if you use them wrong for sure

Read my comment re: his Delta & my two '50's era DeWalts. They are only dangerous if you do one of two things, either combined or separate: try to use it like a table saw to rip lumber or be stupid! I've had one injury from my multitude of equipment in over 50 years. I still don't know how I did it, but I cut a blade groove in the end of my thumb 'bout 3/16" deep. I always thought it would feel like getting cut. It felt like someone hit me square on the end of my thumb w/ a 16oz hammer. It didn't sting or burn, it was just blunt force bam! Incomplete training, lack of training & fear killed on of the most versatile & accurate piece of equioment ever made, the Radial Arm saw. That shaper blade on the Delta is the kind of tool, only smaller, (they used 14" Dewalts), which built Levittown, NY. They had a mile long railroad siding, w/ the DeWalts side by side along the rails. Each machine was set up for a single length cut or shape. Either the lumber went behind the operator & used by carpenters or it went to the next station for another step until finished. The 1st example of onsite assembly line production of houses in the world. Two interesting factoids 'bout post WWII DeWalt. When you bought a saw, it was delivered by a trained instructor who spent the entire day teaching you how to use the saw. The 8 1/4" model sold for $110. A young aspiring comedian got his start being the spokesman for DeWalts in this era. George Gobel who went on to Hollywood & a life long career. There's YT vids of him appearing w/ Carson on the Tonight Show in stereotypical form of the '60's & '70's: a highball in one hand & a smoke in the other! LOL

@@terencemerritt Loved living/learning them, & love sharing them. Thanks If I continue to stay in throat cancer remission, & recover to my former self, I hope to resume the plan to launch a YT channel in the planning/concept stage for a couple of years. The critical foundation of partnering w/ a videographer/editor & reorganizing my multiple material fab shop, (I've been working in materials from cloth to stone for 50+ years) was getting going in mid-late 2019. In Jan '20, I got Covid which activated HPV related throat cancer; 2 surgeries in '20. Cancer returned & Fall '21 led to 7 weeks of chemo & radiation. The surgeries & actual treatment were not that debilitating, I actually was in better shape at the end of the 7 week regime, than before. Four day after last treatment, the bus, train, plane & semi hit me. The docs told me, "You'll be more tired than normal for 12-16 months. Possibly 4-6 shorter or 6-8 months longer." I was bedridden for 4 effing months. The 1st two, I could not sit up w/o help. The last day of treatment, I parked on the 5th deck, sprinted to & down the stairs & jogged to my last rad treatment. Return trip to 5th deck was same. When I got to the roof, I whooped & yelled, 'I'm gonna kick this cancer's azz just like those stairs! F@#$ cancer.' The yelling & hollering put me more out of breath than the 5 flights of stairs. I had just hit 67 the previous month. Two plus years later, I'm hoping & planning this Spring will be the time of my resurgence. I tried last Fall, & still had too much chemo fatigue, (look it up. I did to learn/figure out what was wrong w/ me.) I still have a 0.25" silicone tube going thru my abs, into my stomach. That's how I consume 98% of my liquid diet. Good old Mason jars & a funnel made from a big azz (600 ml) syringe from Amazon. The reason is the rad damaged the saliva glands & ended production. Imagine the worst case of dry mouth, ever. That's not close. No saliva, no swallowing. Good news is there's now intermittent production, getting better every month. That's my final big hurdle, physically. Then I can get final fit on dentures, (oh, yeah. One of those thing you don't know until you have to do it? Can't have any metal in your teeth or the radiation will melt your jaw bones. The 1st 2020 op was to remove all my teeth & do some much needed bony growth from my lower inside & outside jaw, (called tori; read 'bout them, too. Clenching your teeth is primary cause.) Last fun life learning fact: Medicare will pay to have teeth removed & the hammering, chiseling & planing of the tori, but they won't pay for dentures. A 2003 brain injury led to me losing everything I had earned & owned by age 50. Got my SS card at age 11, so I could work. A charity found a dentist to make dentures, post-op. Then before my final fitting, got the cancer is back diag & the generous dentist dumped me as a patient. Nice guy, huh? Getting teeth, even plastic is part of my return to living a normal life; well, normal for me. I DID come of age in the '60's, after all. I'm ugly enough, so teeth are a must. Unless I go the Avé or This Old Tony route & not show my face. Since Avé has granted me use of 'Empire of Dirt' for use in my channel's name, & TOT has... well, can't reveal everything. ;) After their generosity/encouragement, I can't very well dup their no face schtick, too. If you have a thirst for learning about how to fix, make, improve or create anything & everything and like hearing a good (true) tale from the filled to the brim life I've lived, then keep an eye on Avé & TOT for a possible reference to my channel or search on 'Empire of Dirt' every few months over the next year or so. Channel name still in works. Have considered Uncle Geo's Empire o' Dirt, but too damn old. Grandpa Geo's Empire o' Dirt is in the running. Let me know what you think of the name idea &/or make a suggestion. The channel's premise will teaching skills, how to do things yourself & cheap, (best ways to scrounge/re-purpose/use equipment in different ways). I literally can fix most anything fixable, & have invented create new types of equipment & tools & have built or helped build cars, houses, recording studios, TV/movie sets, computers & networks, most recently 'ported' the Lopez valve, (open-close valve), on my feeding tube to improve flow & eliminate plugging, which was a daily prob. In addition to inanimate objects, I've also helped improve humans. I am an Exercise Physiologist & therapist/counselor by education & have taught classroom & PE from K thru graduate level. My 1st 'career' was Sports Medicine, so I know how to improve, heal the human body. I spent 13 yrs in the field, from high school to college to pro football & pro baseball. I left the Dodgers & Sports medicine after the '89 season. It was more important to move to Portland, where my family lived & my, by then, ex-wife lived, so I could parent my two daughters via joint custody. I like, no love, to write & edit, as you can tell by my comments & replies. I was genetically designed to learn & teach. I've been told, literally, 3-4 dozen times I should write my bio. I've lived a 'Forrest Gump' kinda life in that by seizing life my it's tail, I've crossed life paths with some great people, both known worldwide & by only their friends & family. I have been truly blessed by the generosity of mind & matter of others, their love, support & encouragement and acceptance of me, warts, quirks & all. A few years of contemplating one's mortality has led to accept I'll never write the book. I hope to do it digitally via this world/life changing platform, YT. Things in life happen for a reason; if one is open to learning why, going for 'it' in the moment & being as self-aware as one can learn to be. YOUR comment has, in this moment, inspired me to write the 1st draft of my YT channel's mission statement & my background/history story. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for the comment. Your few, genuine words inspired me at 'the' right moment, while I was sitting on 'the throne' of my Empire o' Dirt, before I went to my shop for an afternoon of work on my re-org/remodel, for the 1st time this year. Regards, GeoD

Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏

​@The Dusty Lumber Co I wholeheartedly agree with the fact that you make it look easy. I actually acquired a 10" Ridgid Radial Arm Saw after watching you use one and let's just say my Tenons were not at all precise as yours. There's so many adjustments that need to be dialed in, it's a chore to get it setup but amazingly useful once you do so.

@@CaliReignStudios thank you! That’s awesome your got a RAS😁👍

Similar, bummed that as kids we didn’t realize just how cool wood shop really was…

Thank you 🙏

They are amazing old school machines for sure 👍😁

@@dustylumberco q²²¹1

Yes they’re amazing old machines 😁👍

👍😁

😁😁👍👍

É sempre bom se recordar que tivemos uma fase de máquinas a vapor em oficinas.

😁😁😁👍👍

I love them 👍

Essas maquinas todas são bem mais velhas que você, da época da industrialização americana nas décadas de 40 e 50. No nordeste dos EUA há muitas, a maioria em mal estado de conservação por serem obsoletas para uso industrial (repostas por CNCs) nas poucas indústrias que não fecharam quando a produção foi para a China ou México. Hoje aqui você consegue essas maquinas até de graça, só pagando o transporte que em sí já sai caro. Mesma coisa que pianos, porque ninguém quer mais. Já me ofertaram vários de graça, mas não quis pagar pelo transporte e a afinação.

It sure was 😁

Was? Was? Don't you still? GeoD

Hello sir

@@youtukangshop Hello✊

😁👍

Muchas gracias

Thank you 🙏

Thanks so much!! 😁😁

Welcome to the club....it was always said that Wadkin designed the machines but Robinsons improved on them

It’s pretty awesome! 👍🙏
