Im excited for this. My wood shop teacher in grade 8 was missing more fingers than he had, which put the fear into me. Would love to have a better literacy level and have signed up. There is an offchance I wont be able to make it as I am helping a sick family memeber out of town, but optimistic I will be back for this by then.
Lol, I had a similiar experience. My grade 8 woodshop teacher was rather insane. He made me terrified of routers (which looking back was probably a good thing lol). No worries - I hope we see you and also that your family member is doing okay.
Did you know tablesaw kickback can break your ribs or worse? And now - some beautiful slow-mo video of kickback.
Learn how to not get skewered at vhs. 
Come to the safety workshop. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/vhs-woodshop-safety-orientation-tickets-98069856581
I’m looking forward to this! I definitely want to learn more about the Woodshop and power tools safety. I want to build stuff!!!
Sorry everyone. I have decided to cancel this event due to the coronavirus. Don’t worry, I will reschedule it at a later date! I am in the process of issuing full refunds to everyone.
Cheers

Unfortunately, kickback is not a specific topic of discussion in my safety presentation given the broad range of topics and time available. Once the COVID-19 issue is behind us, I’m happy to run another of my 3-hour tablesaw training workshops. I can’t remember the last time I ran one but I’m pretty sure it was at Cook St.
Tablesaw kickback accounts for far more tablesaw injuries than actual contact with a spinning blade and can, in fact, cause one to contact the spinning blade. In my tablesaw class I spend quite a bit of time explaining the different types of kickback, how and why they occur and how to prevent them from occurring to you.
Thanks Steve that would be excellent. I took your tablesaw training at Cook and it was great.
Your tablesaw training was definitely excellent, and much appreciated!
