Thanks mate, now having a problem typing this without my fingers, but the short answer is no.

That guy is good and bloody lucky to keep his fingers, unless the camera angle makes it look worse than it is.

I'd like to see him do that with some of the oak I have to work with ;D

I'm not sure what I'm more amazed with. The speed, the work or the fact that he's not lost at least some part of his fingers/hand!!

At about 1min 40secs, he's doing something with the wood on the table and his hand looks mm's away from the blade!!

Still, not bad though.

I think it actually took over four hours, but with freeze-frame cameras played back at normal speed it just looked that quick!

Think we're stupid or something? ::)
