That is one of the stupidest attempts to cut a circle I have ever seen. The method he's using works on a bandsaw because the blade goes straight down and doesn't put any sideways force on the material. NEVER do that on a table saw or other circular saw. Jesus Christ.

You could get away with it if you just brought the piece up to the front edge of the saw and then spun it past (I still wouldn’t.)

Bringing it up past the blade is absolute lunacy. And then his grip on blade side of the free-spinning work piece is just oh-my-god. Did everything possible to make this play out like it did.

This has got me having a serious think about where the pipes are running internally but I think the answer is a pretty simple "straight up inside on wall from boiler/entry to the highest bathroom" and everywhere else under the floor. Probably.

Oh and also that I need to check if the stopcock under the sink that you can't physically reach because the cabinets were installed by a moron is actually the right one, though it's probably easiest to turn it off in the street away.

My wife is no longer allowed to put nails into the wall after she put a nail into the backside of the breaker box at the last house.

She wanted to hang a heavy mirror in the dining room of the current house on a wall that has the plumbing stack for upstairs. I about refused, but was able to get the studs successfully despite the false positives.

No pictures but my friend changed a light switch this morning without turning off the breaker and nothing happened. She mentioned this to her Electrical Engineer husband who was like "You turned the breaker off right?"

She thought he was just being "Fussy" so when she went to replace an outlet in the same room she still didn't turn off the breaker and got zapped by house current.

She has since learned that she was just very lucky earlier and he wasn't being fussy.

I live in a house that was built in 1900, and have found many instances of stupid wiring. One of the first things I found was that there were numerous light switches that were wired such that the neutral, and not the live was switched. Was replacing a light fixture one time, and flipped the switch off assuming the fixture would be dead. It was not. A bright blue flash, and a tripped breaker. Now anytime I'm working with the stuff, I flip the breaker, and retest with a meter before anything like a screwdriver gets close to the fixture. I'd rather not be surprised again.

The closest I've come to electrocuting myself, and the worst thing I've found in my house, is a single panel with a light switch next to an outlet, wired to two separate breakers. Fortunately I noticed that the green light on the GFCI was still on before I started messing with it

I've been hit so many times I'd probably be a subject in this thread if there were cameras around.

I've definitely dropped a line with house current into my lap and hit my junk and leg.

I once carried a motorcycle battery and a GIANT transformer in a gym bag to school and used to surprise people with wires taped to my hand and a push button switch.

In our electronics class when a kid was getting too annoying we'd start playing with the tesla coil and then someone else would show them the trick off grabbing the coil and then waving their hand around and giving off sparks. And then he'd grab their wrist to show them it was no big deal once you grabbed the source.

Meanwhile behind them i'd grabbed the grounding rod and then i'd touch the inside of their elbow or their earlobe or something.

Yes I was a little poo poo as a teenager why do you ask?

Edit: Oh yea, there was another one where I was working on making a jacob's ladder with a neon transformer and I went to turn it off at a rocker switch and my leg touched one of the leads. This was fine, except that when I turned it off the kickback from the field collapse surge blew right through the rocker switch and hit me hard enough to stop me from breathing. I don't know if the chest compressions I did on myself against the side of the bed helped or not, but it loving hurt.

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

I was once extremely lucky enough to be standing in a muddy, slightly flooded field near a service drop pole that through negilligence and homeowner fuckery had become live and not die. I realized something was wrong when literally every single hair on both of my legs stood up from the charge in the water. Had I ventured any closer to what I was looking at, I probably would have gotten enough voltage via step potential to seriously gently caress me up.

You can rent the hardware store version pretty easily. My home depot has them and I'm sure the tool rental places would too. That pro equipment with the hot water heater takes a bit more digging. My local Hosty dealer rents them.

As someone that inline skates on streets, this is terrifying. If he goes even slightly off center or picks up a speed wobble (probably less likely with four points of contact) he's gonna go down, and will have next to no braking ability. I guess he'd slide though so less chance of road rash, and the angle might make it look steeper than it is.

Still, hats off 10/10.

e: on second watch it's super steep at the start but tapers off and then slopes up a bit. But doing it wet is nuts.

I've done that once, Matthias Wandel does it on youtube so I took after him. It's not safe procedure by any means, but it can be done more safely than shown. That dude did the cardinal mistake of putting his hand on the wrong side of the circle so that if what happened, happens, it'll move the hand into the blade instead of away from it. Never ever turn it clockwise.

I pretty quickly made a router circle jig instead.
