Tools and Hardware Reviews of ROUTER JIGS AND TECHNIQUES - DVD - with Bernie Maas and Michael FortuneCustomer Review: Value Your Fingers - Don't Buy This DVD Summary: 1 Stars
First of all this DVD has got to be 30 years old. The instructors are right out of central casting with bad eighties clothes, facial hair and the eye glasses that substitute for eye protection. This DVD features a guy who makes a router bit out of a bolt from the hardware store? I am not kidding. He attaches his homemade router table to his work bench. The router table is made out of b grade plywood. He then goes on to use a pattern making template without handles in which his finger comes within an inch of the router blade. Later in the DVD the narrator tells us that the instructor has only had one accident in 10 years of woodworking, but luckily he only lost a little skin from his finger. This is unbelievable. Leave it to FWW and Taunton to once again repackage something old and call it new. FWW and Taunton should be ashamed of themselves. Work techniques have advanced and there are now safer ways to do things. FWW has a responsibility to its loyal customers to update this video series and produce more modern productions with safer techniques. Finally, I am tired of watching films where the instructor removes the guards for production value. Be honest, and tell us you are too stupid to use the device. Here is a suggestion. Make the project with the guards on like the woodworkers who value their appendages do.
