  I used to work in a library bindery. This film showed an edition bindery. At a library bindery, we fixed old books that needed a new cover or new sewing, and we also did collections of magazines, to be bound together. Much of the equipment was similar to what I used 40 years ago (man, it's weird to think about that), and one thing they both had in common was that everything had a coating of paper dust.

  He's not that crazy. Never take your eye off the blade. I've still got all my fingers.

  That dude doesn't need safety goggles because there's a safety shield in front of the saw.

  As a current apprentice cabinet maker, I can tell you that freehanding on a table saw is common practice, even on non saw stop saws. Further, the pieces handled vary from a couple inches wide to a single guy freehanding a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood. Table saws are extremely dangerous and I'm shocked by the old timers and their cavalier approach to things, though they'll all say, respect the saws

  Indeed that was time busting and unhealthy, too.
  My uncle worked for over 40 years as a "line maker" and eventualy got sick because of the lead contained in.
  Thankfully the offset technology changed that forever.
