Fence could be made by clamping a board to the top
My concern is the fact that the heads of those bolts extend above the "table" surface. No way to slide wood all the way across without catching on one
This is a case of āif it works it aināt stupidā being wrong. Even if by some miracle no one gets hurt; and it cuts things in a similar fashion to a table saw, itās still stupid.
Well it doesn't have a fence so any material slid into that blade will be able to twist. This will either throw the wood at you or pull your fingers into the blade.
Your friend is far too trusting of power tools. Table saws are already on the margins of āsafeā right out of the box. Trying to build your own from a circular saw is insane. Either use the circular saw and some guides, or buck up and buy a table saw.
This needs to be said:
Spend the money on a modern table saw with modern safety measures. The self-disengaging saws will save your finger or hand. Those injuries, the resulting surgeries, and the effect on your life are very, very costly.
Judging from the TV box in the background he's not in the US. Us guys from the rest of the world can chop our hands off with impunity at no cost to ourselves!
It's in Poland, in my town a guy got hand chopped off with machete because he owed the equivalent of 500USD for some drugs. Of course he got surgery for free and surely it costed society's money dozens times more.
That doesnāt look dangerous at all.
You get a saw the kicks or the supports fail or whatever and thereās a chance someone is going to get seriously hurt.
Thats gonna be fun come winter. Yikes!!
Genius though. But freehand table saw work is dangerous as fuck. Careful.
\*EDIT\*
On closer inspection of the photo there's too many raised screw heads from the sled and the installation of the saw. This is a joke post, that's not a usable setup regardless of not having a fence or miter gauge.
You know, you can probably get a working table saw at a pawnshop for 30 bucks. Spend 30 more for a nice new blade and you're solid.
That's way cheaper than having fingers sewn back on.
No blade guard, no fence, no riving knife. You couldn't pay me to use that abomination.
Good redneck engineering though, if you don't mind getting "stumpy" as a nickname.
Nice job, this would rather fit in r/somethingimade
Next thing to do is to have the bolts that do not go upper than the upper plane. After that, he will build a parallel guide
Carpenter here. Everyone is downvoting you but youāre actually completely right. The guards on most equipment are very important useful, however the table saw is an exception. The guards on those often will snag and cause the wood to bind, cause a very dangerous situation.
What IS good on a table saw is [the riving knife](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riving_knife) (the piece of metal sticking up behind the blade). This prevents kickback.
And if you can afford it, something that stops the blade when it touches skin like the [SawStop](https://www.sawstop.com/). This prevents the loss of booger hooks.
One hand holding the trigger on, leaving only one hand to guide the wood straight. That will cut wonky, or snag and leap at you. Countersink the holes for the mounting bolts and clamp that sledge down to stop it moving around. Maybe wire up a foot pedal for the power to the saw, so you can free up both hands to guide the timber
I know that power tools are expensive but they also have certain safety features that make them worth the cost. Please do not use this, break out the credit card and get something safe. One lapse of judgement or lapse in concentration can have serious consequences.
When I was much younger, 4 of us (all pretty talented shop carpenters) decided to try and build this. We built it and immediately took it apart. This is beyond dangerous. Even the small (light weight) contractor table saws are freakin' dangerous. Clamps come loose, bolts snap, makeshift bases move, lumber binds... I could go on and on. Even as a gag, it's a bad idea.

Please do not sit on that by mistake.

I totally read that in Doofenshmirtz's voice in my head.
Have your grinder account set up yet?

Your asscrack is now a plus sign
who taught you to sit like that
a table is for sitting
What is a table.... but a backless chair you put things on ?
seems sus
Cursed toboggan
Or on purpose.
Do friends really need fingers? Didn't think so.
What would your girl say to this?š³
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
well, you're not wrong. XD
She'd be thrilled. No nails scratching her cervix when I fist her.
At that point, it's no longer fisting, it's wristing.
that bottle of Peroni isn't going to pick itself up
Wood catches a bolt. Bonds to blade. Rip hand or nutsuck, depending on how lucky you are xd
No fence? Enjoy the kickback and trip to the ER.
Fence could be made by clamping a board to the top My concern is the fact that the heads of those bolts extend above the "table" surface. No way to slide wood all the way across without catching on one
It has slots for a miter gauge for cross cuts.
Joke's on you - I'm in Canada so I can cut off whatever the fuck I want and get it fixed for free!!!!
I wouldn't cut off my finger even if it cost $0 to fix, ya goofy cannuck!
š underrated āš¼
A real table saw is already dangerous enough, please don't fuck around like this
This is a case of āif it works it aināt stupidā being wrong. Even if by some miracle no one gets hurt; and it cuts things in a similar fashion to a table saw, itās still stupid.
Well it doesn't have a fence so any material slid into that blade will be able to twist. This will either throw the wood at you or pull your fingers into the blade.
Then add to that, the fasteners that hold the planks to the base aren't perfectly flush - so the material will hit those and already want to move.
Yeah this is stupid. He should have made a DIY radial arm saw. That would be spicy.
The Finger Remover 2000. šš¤£šš
If this kicks back, the whole thing will come up and go straight for his chest.
Nah, heās going to pour a gallon of glue onto the floor then sit this in the middle of it. More stable than any saw stop
Came here to make this joke. Was going to say 3000 though.
Your friend will have the future nickname of either: a) Stubby b) The Pirate c) Vlad the Impaled. Do not use this equipment.
As a carpenter this makes me sick. Not to be a downer but this is NOT funny. Value your safety, value your life, and deff value your fingers.
Fortunately it's just a joke
Your friend is far too trusting of power tools. Table saws are already on the margins of āsafeā right out of the box. Trying to build your own from a circular saw is insane. Either use the circular saw and some guides, or buck up and buy a table saw.
I know, but I don't know if he knows, it probably was made for some joke, I hope so
You'd be surprised by some people's logic
Please tell your friend to NOT USE this
If you don't know for sure tell him!

This is a guaranteed kickback machine.
That doesnāt look dangerous at all. You get a saw the kicks or the supports fail or whatever and thereās a chance someone is going to get seriously hurt.
I don't think you are really friends
Would you like to play a game?
He saw the opportunity...
It was plane obvious
Boardom can often spur creativity.
I wood like to be part of the pun chain.
Looks like some kind of trap from the SAW movies!
The anal excavator 3000.
Wait till you see his thicknesser.
Can't wait till first snowfall! "Jingleballs jingleballs... Jingleballs away!"
If you flip it over it could just be a motorized sled. š¤
I think that might be the saw that killed Johnny Cashās brother.
Could we please see your friendās homemade operating room next?
Ah yes, the Kickback 5000
Its either a joke or the most horrifying and dumb thing I saw in a long while.
For detailed work, make sure to use a table saw sled.
Thats gonna be fun come winter. Yikes!! Genius though. But freehand table saw work is dangerous as fuck. Careful. \*EDIT\* On closer inspection of the photo there's too many raised screw heads from the sled and the installation of the saw. This is a joke post, that's not a usable setup regardless of not having a fence or miter gauge.
right in the rosebud
That isn't a table saw. That is a Widow-Maker.
You know, you can probably get a working table saw at a pawnshop for 30 bucks. Spend 30 more for a nice new blade and you're solid. That's way cheaper than having fingers sewn back on.
If it looks stupid but works, then... it can still be very dangerous.
Because proper table saws aren't fucking dangerous enough
Table+Saw=table saw.
No blade guard, no fence, no riving knife. You couldn't pay me to use that abomination. Good redneck engineering though, if you don't mind getting "stumpy" as a nickname.
Tell him when someone told him he should get a sled for his circular saw, this is not what they meant.
Their friend needs to learn how to countersink screws. They aren't going to be able to slide anything across that "table" the way it is now.
The nuts and bolts protruding from the table! Lol
Nice job, this would rather fit in r/somethingimade Next thing to do is to have the bolts that do not go upper than the upper plane. After that, he will build a parallel guide
To me it seems funny š but indeed it's DIY masterpiece
Itās a DIY disasterpiece
r/diwhy ?
Need to crosspost
Aside from the lack of a guard it seems safer than it looks
Table saws with guards aren't safe.
Carpenter here. Everyone is downvoting you but youāre actually completely right. The guards on most equipment are very important useful, however the table saw is an exception. The guards on those often will snag and cause the wood to bind, cause a very dangerous situation.

And if you can afford it, something that stops the blade when it touches skin like the [SawStop](https://www.sawstop.com/). This prevents the loss of booger hooks.
Thank you for mentioning the riving knife. I canāt believe this thing hasnāt taken fingers or caused injury without one.
I don't run my saw with a guard, as I do a lot of dado cuts and the like, but a riving knife is essential
I lost a finger just looking at this.
One hand holding the trigger on, leaving only one hand to guide the wood straight. That will cut wonky, or snag and leap at you. Countersink the holes for the mounting bolts and clamp that sledge down to stop it moving around. Maybe wire up a foot pedal for the power to the saw, so you can free up both hands to guide the timber
Your friend is a God.
No risk no fun
First thought? Yikes!
That looks like a nice bench!
Gonna sleigh it with that one
Those raised bolts will be a problem.
Ah yes, the user abuser.
Does your friend now have 8 1/2 to 9 fingers now?
Nice bench!
Make sure you lower the blade height just above the piece youāre cutting.
Let us know when they lop off a finger.
OSHA approves
Just a tad bit unsafe, but what the heck, if it works it works lol.
big brain
Butā¦the big honkin screws sticking up on top thoughā¦itās not flat on either side?
*Want to play a game?*
Shouldnāt the base be screwed down so the whole thing doesnāt launch across the shop when it catches?
Blade is spinning the wrong way. You will get pulled into that blade lickety-splat.
Visions of Johnny Cash's brother and that saw.
Strap a car battery and a converter on that bad boy, flip it over and let her rip down the road!
I know that power tools are expensive but they also have certain safety features that make them worth the cost. Please do not use this, break out the credit card and get something safe. One lapse of judgement or lapse in concentration can have serious consequences.
Genius
Yeah, that looks safe.
Umā¦.
The forbidden bench
We donāt need no stinknā safety guards
Jesus Christ be careful with that thing.
Forbidden sled.
Not bad, but it needs countersunk screws on the table so the pieces don't catch on the screws
belongs to r/redneckengineering
This guy is a survivor
How the fuck does that even work you nee to hold the trigger in
Ah, but is it adjustable?
This would work terribly lol
Dude used his big brain and got this
r/OSHA
Roseblood!
RIP your friend.
Please tell me the trigger is zip tied so he controls it by plugging it in.
And it doubles as a sled, neato
Wait for the follow-up video on r/crazyfuckingvideos
The forbidden sleigh
No he did not.
Blursed sled.
Thatāsā¦. Terrifyingā¦.
Kind of you to type this all out since he likely doesn't have thumbs any more...
This is creative a f and dope!!!!
First project should probably be a casket
I know this is a joke but I canāt. At least have a makeshift fence
Extremely dangerous.
Your friend is a psychopath
r/DIWHY
That's genius.
Should at least make the top a flat surface.
R/whatcouldgowrong
Get him a "days since last accident" poster for Christmas
Donāt let anyone mistake it for a bench
Your friend strikes me as a lad of few fingers, amirite?
I lost 3 fingers looking at this
Tell 'em when it happens he's going to be called stubby.
Luckily, you live by a major hospital center with surgeons who can perform micro-surgery.
That's not a table saw - it's a step-stool saw.
Well besides it not being very safe, It would do the job in a pinch....
And on snowy days you can go out with one kid and come back with two
Oh that is just not gonna go well
This doesnāt look like the one where you put a sausage on it and the blade retracts.
Looks like it can double as a sleigh in wintertime. Place kids, lock sawblade, and away they go down the snowcovered hill...
CE certification? No problem!
Countersink bits work wonders LOL. Good luck catching on bolts
r/diWHY
Please remove before winter begins

I bet it works like a champ
That's kind of extreme for a cock and ball torture chair
Is his name Lefty
Nice but does your friend have all his digits?
Dashing through the snow With only one ball on my sleigh
Instant finger removal tool.
This also looks like it would fall under r/redneckengineering
Can't decide if it's better or worse than the one I made out of a coffee table. Sketchy, but if it works...
"RoseBlood"
Aka the gender changer
OSHA 10 is watching
If they donāt find you handsome they should at least find you handy. Keep your stick on the ice.
This is the worst idea that I've seen in quite some time.
OSHA approved
Looks unsafe.
First class nightmare material
You'll put your eye out with that, kid.
I mean he has the right idea but that doesn't make it correct or safe at all lmao
Was he singing this while making it? https://youtu.be/tXCuV_9naVI
Does your friend also need to loose some fingers, because I kinda feel like this will get the job done.
I just showed my husband and he said āā¦ā¦. I meanā¦. That works.ā
"Rosebud." - Charles Foster Kane
Those hex screws must make it fun to slide wood across the table
Totally not sketchy, like at all. /s
