    To watch how you operate that table saw is scary as hell. I have been using power tools for many years, nearly lost a finger doing what you are doing, and since then, I have more respect for the tools.

    • @RandiRain
      @RandiRain  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You have more respect for tools huh? Not sure how you know that just because I "scare the hell out of you". That's not how that is quantified. I'm 49 years old, I've used saws since I was a child, I grew up with a table saw in the garage, I've worked in shops most of my life, I have owned my own shop most of my adult life, I'm willing to bet I have orders of magnitude more flight time on the table saw than you in my 30 plus years of experience, and I haven't even came close to loosing a finger. It doesn't sound like you have more respect, it sounds like I have more skill. And since I used to build sets and props for the movies, have credit on movies, can set there and point out "I built that... I built that... I built that".... And with all the stuff I have built and shipped all over the world... Go check my websites, facebook, etc... It's all documented... I'm going to go with skill. So when you have the pedigree I have, then you come tell me how much more "respect" you have. Until then I am just going to look at you as another one of those people I have seen with my own eyes hurt themselves with tools. I've had to rush people to the hospital and clean up bloody table saws before. I've seen a finger laying on a table saw before. Don't talk to me about respect.

      @@RandiRain there’s people that have been in the game for many years,doesn’t mean they’re any good. When you were operating the saw my first thought was “she could always put some gloves on” bc shit does happen regardless of how long you’ve been doing something anyone who’s done something of this nature can tell you that. Many people have credits to their names but what’s that mean when no one respects it.

    I built a flea circus too but I couldn't find any fleas so I used dex mites(dust mites)instead,they are very hard to catch ,not because they move too quickly but because they are so fragile.

    • @RandiRain
      @RandiRain  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Wrong.. Wrong... Wrong... Wrong... You never use dust mites. Unless you can get your hands on some Brazilian reticulated dust mites. Those you can use, but your ordinary household dust mites... No, those won't work.

      @@RandiRain it's all I could find .it's still fascinating to watch them ooch around doing stuff, most people have never even seen what a dust mite looks like and are horrified to discover that the little specks of dust on their shelves are actually moving around . Apparently they also live in our eyelashes and crawl around on our faces whial we sleep eating dead skin cells.
      I will continue using them in my circus because the thought of an empty circus ring makes me feel sad.
