Ernie Conover is no stranger to shop safety. As a well-respected woodworking teacher and highly skilled woodworker in his own right, Conover is truly a wealth of information for woodworkers of all skill levels. With so much experience, it’s no surprise that he’s published a variety of books, articles, and DVDs to share his knowledge with anyone who has questions.
Not even a pandemic can stop Conover – it just drives his creativity, which we can all agree is an important trait in any woodworker. Since he can’t lead in-person classes right now, he’s been teaching via Zoom, continually finding ways to impart years of expertise.
However, there are some things you don’t need in-person or virtual training to learn. Conover has developed a series of free videos focused on shop safety to make sure that anyone at any skill level has easy access to some of the most important lessons in woodworking.
In this video, he covers a variety of safety tips for anyone using a table saw. What sets this video apart from the many others on table saw safety is that Conover is drawing from years of fine woodworking craftsmanship and experience. He’s been using this and many other power tools for most of his life and still has all his fingers.
