>grandpa who has built dozens of houses by hand
>knows at a master level multiple trades, but isn't braggadocio about it, rather he is humble willing to learn modern ways
>compliments and highlights young guys in trades doing impressive stuff like building a house with just 3 people and limited equipment

Sorry, how is he a retard?

I wonder what his stance on israel is.

i always wonder how you make a small cut on top of a board with a circ saw
imagine one day feeling too lazy for a handsaw and the board is too big to move to a bandsaw or whatever and you try to balance the circ saw on the top edge of the board to make a cut and some cringe happens
>>
>>3001191
>implying
grandpa is smartphone addicted dilettante who buys random junk which is sometimes over expensive or too cheap and half asses every job with a bitter irritated attitude because he's been away from his phone for too long
grandpa posts update of his custom motorcycle project on facebook while his son suffers from toothache and potential lockjaw

The cringe is that we're staring right at the bevel adjustment while he freehands a chamfer.
>>
>>3001562
in addition his arm and body position are dangerous.

he will have no strength against a kick-back into his guts

I've done dangerous stuff but this looks just stupid, like pull plug and yell at apprentice stupid.
>>
>>3001703
Wormdrive is torque heavy, but it's not going to push his arm out of the way of his body if it binds. These people free cut all day long on roofs, so the saw itself his very unlikely to get away from them.

The material, however, resting on the edge of a table as he cuts above his leg is notable.

When making free cuts and other stupid time savers, it's important to cut away from your body. Mind the blade after the cut. If I must do something terribly stupid like a backward cut, I two hand the saw and feed material slowly so there's no chance the saw can roll back to me.

>>3000989
Hard to tell from the pic what he’s doing exactly. My guess is he’s experienced enough to know what’s safe I.e if a cut might cause kickback. He does at times do unsafe things though, like pouring a bag of dry cement without a mask/filter, but few are 100% safe. Id like to think I’m pretty damn safe, but I’ll readily admit I’ve done some bone headed things, usually out of fatigue or distraction.

The spiteful mutant is a real thing. I felt the pull of it myself as one. Fortunately for me, I am at least over 6 feet tall, so I was able to summon the willpower to get out of that mentality and find a woman that tolerates my turbo autism.

Lol. You seem like one of those spiteful mutants >>3002988
was talking about. Oh no! I used the wrong terminology! She stays home takes care of the kiddos, keeps the house and yard tidy, puts beer in the fridge for me every day, cooks all the meals, makes sure the goods in the house are stocked up, and lets me plow her holes any time I want to, and I get to do hard physical labor and buy any toy, tool or piece of equipment I ever wanted to own.

Your methods are a bit questionable, but no one is arguing with the results.

He's an ok guy. Definitely uses a lot of power tools in his workshop, both of which are things I can't really afford at the moment. Many times watching his methods it feels different than the way I would do things. Like the time he was putting a new handle on a knife and dulled the edge on his belt sander then resharpened it after the handle was done. I probably would have preserved the edge by wrapping it in cardboard or something. For him putting a new edge on a knife is very simple in terms of time and effort. For me putting a new edge on a knife takes a bit of time with a file and a wetstone. The equipment in your workshop changes how you think about and approach projects.

>>3001111
The guy invented his own hand tool to dig foundations quicker. He's a high caliber tradesman.
>>
>>3004374
He has a different way of working, yes.
