: Maybe I am not understanding this? But if your talking about pulling wood
: into a table saw blade from the back of the blade to the front that sounds
: extremely dangerous. Matter of fact my F-I-L tried that a while back and
: tore up a finger when it grabbed and pulled the part into the dado blade
: along with his finger too.

: Also since the blade is turning upward at the back and it is going to try to
: lift the part off the table instead of pushing it down. Then if/when it
: lifts the part, the blade grabs it and throws it at you like happened to
: me.

: Again, maybe I am misunderstanding you. But if not then that is a really bad
: idea and would high recommend not doing that cut that way.

Hey Kudzu,
I apologize for my weak description of what was described in the book Nick wrote. I meant that the work piece is PULLED. The section on paddle construction has a clear picture of this. I can see that a picture is worth way more than just words. I certainly hope my post will not cause anyone harm. I also cut all my scarf joints with a sander except the one required to make a feathered paddle shaft.

Again for safety sake never feed a workpiece in the direction of the blade rotation only in the opposite direction of rotation.

I truly hope for a quick recovery Kudzu. Your posts and stories are always good to read. Clayton
