AndyB:
Hi guys,
I am with you there about Mr Pete...it is like me calling myself Joseph Whitworth! :scratch:
Paddy; what do you mean by 'mensch'? I speak German and it means human...what else would he be? :lol:
As Churchill once said, 'We are two people divided by a common language' :lol: :lol: :lol:

Actually, in this case, it's two different languages -- German and Yiddish. In the latter, "mensch" is "good person" or a "person of integrity.

Thanks for the clarification Josh.

I've seen enough amateur mistakes, poor techniques and downright dangerous acts to think differently although many think of him as a mensch. He actually cuts himself pretty good in one video as he coils-up or uncoils a bandsaw blade in the completely wrong and dangerous way. No corrected method was shown.

I'm with you there Ken 100% :clap:
The bandsaw one is quite funny (not supposed to be) he manages to lacerate his wrist.

Thank you for this information as I was, in a weak moment, contemplating purchasing such
a device. Being the errant coward that I am my visualizing me being the victim of
'The Revolt of the Machines' I am happily going to stick to my primitive but better-for
the cardiovascular system of a new blade in an old hack saw. :smart:

I really like this old guy and his voice.
Although this guy is not perfect,who actually is,I learned a lot by watching his videos.
If somenone can do better,go ahead,do it.
Cheers,Ralph
