considering my workshop is in the basement, something like this would surely cut down on the noise!

Magnificent. I’ve never seen one that you pedal backwards. What’s very cool is that you can pursue your hobby, and not tell yourself that you are doing tedious exercising as well!

-- There's no tool like an old tool...

If I hadn’t seen it, I wouldn’t have believed it. How many miles per week do you think you saw? (As if it were an exercise bike.)

-- Joe

Really, ajosephg, as you can see, I’m going backwards so I keep taking the miles off, and at my age, I need to.
Thank you all for the comments.

awesome tablesaw : ) What is the size of the blade ?

Oh yeah! A virtual fountain of youth. Pretty soon the teenage woodworker is going to have a same aged buddy.

My electricity bill demands I build one of these. I think I will have my dog power it though! Wouldnt it be awesome to have a dog-powered tablesaw!

Honestly though, this is ingenious!

that is a dangerous video. If that information were to fall into the wrong hands… say my wife… it could mean the end to buying powertools as we know it.

Your legs must be like hard maple. All kidding aside I have seen you’re work on different LJ postings and you are a master at what you do. Keep up the great work.

I told my wife that the table saw I want to buy will cost around $2800. Perhapes I will wait to show her this video. My only saving grace is I will be cutting a lot of sheet stock. One of your jigs isn’t for plywood is it? Only kidding! I am very much impressed with your saw and the craft that you do. Thanks for posting.

God Bless
