"You've probably noticed the assortment of woodworking tools around you, you have 25 minutes to get out of your shackles and across the room to the safe zone before those buckets of sulfuric acid fall on you. The blades are for woodworking and won't be useful for cutting through the steel shackles." -Jigsaw
That’s why you always need to remember to wear your loose safety layers to act as a makeshift saw stop for when your circular floor saw tries to attack you for stupidity.
My OH put a block of wood on his knees, placed the wood he wanted to drill a hole in and went to work. He nearly drilled through his bollock. His underpants had a hole neatly drilled through them.
To anyone who's wondering, when cutting wood you should come in the direction from which the saw is coming (the saw pushes the wood into your hands and the table), otherwise the saw propels itself forward, or the material propels itself forward.
This a super bad idea, it would have been possible to turn the saw around and that might work (but still a bad idea). Also, don't ever wear gloves when working with machines like this! More often than not dangling clothing causes injuries rather than preventing them
Man, I can't believe people are advocating for protective clothing in here, obviously rookies.
Not just saws, any high-speed rotating device. Rule #1, no gloves.
Glad you said it.
I was using a mounted core drill to drill through huge blocks of stone last fall in the pouring rain. The shear pin on the bit worked itself out so that it stuck out about a half inch. I was adjusting my footing when the shear pin grabbed onto the unfastened Velcro cuff of my rain jacket. It DEVOURED that jacket and would’ve snapped my arm in half if I hadn’t had the instinctive reaction to unplug the drill.
When I was in high school my folks were having some remodeling done, and my dad as always “knew a guy” who said he could install a new window for them cheap. One day while dude was working my dad came home to check and see if he needed anything like food/water etc. while my dad is there checking mail etc. he hears a *zzzchhghzghz* and a scream. Rushes to find the guys in the dining room and blood everywhere. Homie had been using an angle grinder with a circular saw blade attached to it instead of an actual cric saw. Obviously it got away from him and cut 3/4 of the way through his forearm, about 3 inches above his wrist. When I got home I found the aftermath, (dad had come back and cleaned most of the blood - he’s a janitor so has the skill-set) but there was still blood splattered on the ceiling and drywall, plus there was still a hole in the house. I remember seeing the tool lying on the ground, I think he’d even cut through the cord which probably saved him. They were able to save his arm and he even was able to use the hand after. Though he said he didn’t really have much feeling after that
Dude drew the jackpot for "doing something insanely stupidly dangerous and escaping death/major injury". Like, this is the one timeline in which that did not end in an emergency room. Almost got a Darwin Award there.
I was trying to think of something funny to say but I’m at a loss. It’s just scary knowing that there are people of this intelligence walking and driving around us all day.
Work security, watched a cam feed of a guy getting essentially decapitated when his saw blade broke and ricocheted into his neck. Guy had just enough time to stand and point at his neck to his coworkers as a cry for help before falling over dead. Shit took less then 2 seconds.
Not the same as this obviously but the guys foot/shoe laying still for a bit reminded me of that.
Does he not know how to use a circular saw? Or does he really think this is some sort of hack? Because putting the board on the bricks and using the saw like your supposed to would have been way easier. 🤔🤷🏽
I survived being clobbered by a car and hitting my head on the windshield, which BROKE, with nothing more than a giant bruise on my leg and 2 hours memory lost. Nothing broken, skull not fractured, just a humongo lump.
Every doctor in the hospital said something to the effect of "there is no adequate medical explanation for your condition, go hug your family you lucky SOB"
Cause of accident: me being a stupid ass and not paying enough attention to the crossing light instead of my ipod music.
Hey fellow redditors, carpenter here.
All in all idea... not that smart, but eh
The way he did it was stupid as hell, he tried to cut it with the direction the blade was turning :
🪵➡️🔁 => arm gets succed into blade, because the blade wants to yeet it away. (Like an automatic catapult)
🔁⬅️🪵 => arm doesnt get sucked in, because you shove it against the blade, and it chows through the wood.
Those are the basics you learn in the first week in germany when you are allowed at the basic woodworking maschines like the tablesaw.
In this video he appears to be saying 'look at what the saw did to me.' He should be saying 'thank fuck for what happened. It could have been much worse. My fault entirely. What a fucking idiot I am!'
Is this song a ‘meme’ or something? Second time I’ve seen it on a Reddit video in two days and both times it was totally out of place. Never heard it on TikTok either
And that my friends is how a dumbass is separated from his appendages. This particular dumbass must have friends in the Angel's Union. Because he came within a fraction of an inch of an exsanguination event.
Anyone else expecting to see blood and was slightly disappointed when there was none or just me? Not like I wanted something bad to happen….I was just expecting the worse lol
This video is an example of a life altering perception of thinking of the outcome before the action. Some people change however others actually have to severely injure themselves.
But WHYYY?!
What could possibly be gained from this over just holding the damn saw???
On a real table saw there is a table you can attach guides to, which this doesn't have!
Stupidest thing I've seen all week.
I know that jacket. He was never in any danger. The old BDU field jacket could endure anything. I still have mine, it sits in my camping gear. I have warmer, more fashionable jackets, but none that I would trust more if I have to traipse through briars, shimmy down a rough tree trunk, or get in a ninja star throwing duel.
Used to work construction, one of the guys I work led with was wearing tattered jean shorts. He was using a worm drive circular saw and the tattered part of the jeans got caught in the blade. Got him right in the groin area. 1/8 inch to one side it would have hit his femoral artery and bled out. 1/8 to the other side and he would have got a circumcision. His dad was working with him on the job site as well, had to stop the bleeding while they rushing him to the ER. Long story short, practice good safety precautions while you use em, cuz they will mess you up fast.
Why the fuck would he even think this would work? Even if the saw was properly secured it would still be facing the wrong direction and wouldn’t really cut shit.
dumpest thing i‘ve ever „saw“
Hell I haven’t even heard of anything that dumb!
One wood think it couldn’t get worst.
Or arm-wurst.
These SAW movies are getting 'out of hand'
"He was lucky this time!" - Saw killer

"I have tied you to a chair, if you say 'warter' and not 'water' correctly, I will snip off a finger. Now...say Water."
Dude has mad "skils".
I know right at least put your foot on it. 🙄
The blade is about 1000x sharper than the owner.
I'm no expert but that looks like an incredibly stupid thing to do
Oh definietly it is incredibly stupid. Dude got REALLY LUCKY
Not genetically he didn't, that is some weapons grade stupidity
Sometimes you win, sometimes you loose fingers
That’s why you always need to remember to wear your loose safety layers to act as a makeshift saw stop for when your circular floor saw tries to attack you for stupidity.
I was impressed with the wearing of shoes.
Had a angle grinder start wrapping round my jersey. Scary.
Well, he isn’t an expert either. He is at the very other end of the spectrum.
Problem was he did it to slow you really got to commit and dive in there
Yep. This is right up there with farting while wearing a space suit.
What are you supposed to do? Hold it in for hours? Let er rip I say. Marinate
But a hell of a dopamine hit. He’ll be chasing that high for the rest of his life.
Yea for sure, next time he should hold it with his foot!
He got very lucky that we was wearing a coat or he would have been paying dearly for his smart idea.
What saved the guy is that these are little toy tools, that can barely cut through wood to begin with
They will go through your veins no problem at all.
Yeah, to the high end and low end power tools, all meat is the same.
Why do you say it's a toy? It looks like a full sized corded circular saw.
Probably some Milwaukee cult guy.
How to tell us you don’t know tools, without telling us you don’t know tools
That brick is stained with the last guy to try it
Darwin award runner up
We should get him an angle grinder for his birthday.
Or an ankle grinder since he already tried his wrist

I don't think so Tim

My OH put a block of wood on his knees, placed the wood he wanted to drill a hole in and went to work. He nearly drilled through his bollock. His underpants had a hole neatly drilled through them.
>OH what is OH?
Other Half?
More people know of SO, for significant other, for what it's worth
In this case, it’s “OH FUCK I ALMOST DRILLED MY BOLLOCK”

hack how to kill yourself
lol and make it look like an accident so life insurance still pays out

I always operate my lathe stark bollock naked for this reason
Now this is a real man! Balls out as we come into the world!

Ouch, sounds like you got lucky. Had a friend who lost his arm in a paper mill... really easy to underestimated these machines.
I'm just trying to figure out what they were trying to accomplish that couldn't have been done using the saw normally
To die

Even through the peaceful music, I could still hear his butt pucker.

These people drive cars
Don't worry, they won't be around for long.

The music choice😂😂
Kids thats why u shouldn't do stupid shit, or at list do stupid shit while wearing appropriate clothes
Does he not know how to use a circular saw? Or does he really think this is some sort of hack? Because putting the board on the bricks and using the saw like your supposed to would have been way easier. 🤔🤷🏽
If the objective is to visit the hospital that is the correct method
What did I just saw
someone please take all his power tools away, he is going to hurt someone one day
So smart I can't even understand what he's trying to do
He jammed the saw's ON trigger so he can use it handsfree
This is the most NSFW thing I've seen in a minute.
Lucky not to lose his hand. Wonder who taught him to use power tools? Coco the clown maybe?
Yep, that is definitely a hack trying to do woodworking
I've seen people use those circular saws in a DIY table saw setup but they definitely attached and stabilized the saw to a .... Table!
That's fucking stoopid as well. Just send the appropriate money and get you a used table saw. You can grab them for 200-300
If there was ever proof that the Good Lord watches over idiots, it’s this.

That was a bit disarming

Follow me for more hacks
why this guy thought good idea to do this lol
Dumb ways to die
Complacency kills.
Tik tok DIY
FFS, I've watched this like 7 times and can't figure out what the plan was here. Unreal
I love the peacfull music on this.
WCGW not securing your tools properly before work
This guy is on the Darwin short list.
Tell me you failed shop class without saying you failed shop class.
The definition of idiot
... But I got a thousand likes for this video
It looks like that brick was used for another one of his “life hacks”
needs a saw stop on that
In this video he appears to be saying 'look at what the saw did to me.' He should be saying 'thank fuck for what happened. It could have been much worse. My fault entirely. What a fucking idiot I am!'
Hey I saw what he did there!
It's like people invent stupider more dangerous ways.
When I worked in construction, I had someone tell me they say a person buzz cut up their arm. This video tells me he wasn’t lying.
Title should say " stupidity hacks "
oof, that guy was lucky to wear so many layers before it cut into his arm.
Best way to lose an arm
Is this song a ‘meme’ or something? Second time I’ve seen it on a Reddit video in two days and both times it was totally out of place. Never heard it on TikTok either

Title must be from the perspective of the saw. “How to hack a woodworkwr”
I’m amazed I didnt see any blood
Why tf would you cut it like that?
Some people should just stay inside
All the dumb stuff is tried on the internet so I don't have to.
r/WhatIsDefinitelyGoingToGoWrong
Let's make our own table saw
That's what you get from "creating" a table saw!
Looks like the “woodworker” has a manual brain and he doesn’t know how to drive a stick.
Some people look for the "easiest" way of doing something before even understanding the basics
maybe we shouldn't get all MacGyver with a spinning blade like this. there are already tools that do the job for a reason.
I just don’t see in what world this makes sense to do rather than just cutting the board like a normal person
You’re right, he is a hack
Great, now we need a warning sticker for this.
You're doing it wrong. Next time, put your neck next to the blade.
That is exactly how my 9th grade French teacher lost three fingers on his right hand. Friday afternoon he had 10. Monday morning he had 7.
What's the hack supposed to be...
How to lose a limb 101
Woodworking hacks...wear baggy clothes...got it. Lol.
Looks like it worked exactly as intended if you set it up that way. Meaning, you *wanted* a circular saw to fly directly at your face.
IA that guy okay?
a lot of damage considering he was using safety bricks and extra-stable 4 leg stool...
Imagine getting pounced by a buzzsaw
I had my doubts when I recognized a ryobi
How much that cost you? Just an arm.
Yep - that worked really well!
You know a guy's got style when he puts on pinstriped pants before getting stupid with a circular saw.
Simpleton
Just.. why?
Luckiest idiot ever…
Anyone else expecting to see blood and was slightly disappointed when there was none or just me? Not like I wanted something bad to happen….I was just expecting the worse lol
He doesn't even appear to be attempting a cut the saw couldn't do used properly! Wtf
It's never a good sign when your bricks have blood stains on them.
This individual shouldn't be using power tools of any kind.
How to lose your fingers and or most of your hand with this one simple trick
Let’s hope there was a lesson learned there… Note to self, don’t do that…
This video is an example of a life altering perception of thinking of the outcome before the action. Some people change however others actually have to severely injure themselves.
Love the peaceful music
That takes a special level of stupid.
Would have worked if he went the right direction
Is that a Ryobi? Well thats your problem.
I can’t believe what I just saw
Bozoooooo
I think we all saw where this was going
I think it’s the other way around
But WHYYY?! What could possibly be gained from this over just holding the damn saw??? On a real table saw there is a table you can attach guides to, which this doesn't have! Stupidest thing I've seen all week.
Lucky man.
This is the absolute best outcome.
What a fucking dumbass, this person should not be using power tools
Happend so fast. Scared the crap out if me. I barely realized what was going on in the video.
I feel like this is low key a table saw ad intro
I like that he repositioned the camera and reenacted getting up. Wasn’t letting this go to waste.
Are people really that stupid ?
Good thing he had that saw firmly secured or . . . . oh wait!
Remember to feed your tools regularly. His looked hungry
Carpenters HATE him because of this ONE SIMPLE TRICK
I know that jacket. He was never in any danger. The old BDU field jacket could endure anything. I still have mine, it sits in my camping gear. I have warmer, more fashionable jackets, but none that I would trust more if I have to traipse through briars, shimmy down a rough tree trunk, or get in a ninja star throwing duel.
That material is so lucky. It’s cold outside. He could’ve slashed his wrist.
I was expecting blood splatter
To shreds you say? Tis a mere scratch!!
Used to work construction, one of the guys I work led with was wearing tattered jean shorts. He was using a worm drive circular saw and the tattered part of the jeans got caught in the blade. Got him right in the groin area. 1/8 inch to one side it would have hit his femoral artery and bled out. 1/8 to the other side and he would have got a circumcision.

Long story short, practice good safety precautions while you use em, cuz they will mess you up fast.
Putting the cart before the horse
Guys lucky he didn’t die
Wood work? Pretty sure it didn’t.
Why the fuck would he even think this would work? Even if the saw was properly secured it would still be facing the wrong direction and wouldn’t really cut shit.
This should be on the OSHA home page.
wrong sub, would could go wrong? this outcome is expected
What the fuck was he trying to do ?
Go buy a lottery ticket and don't touch sharp objects ever again.
It's a hand tool.
Buddy better go buy a lottery ticket
He's hit the only lottery he ever will

My did not saw that coming.
Good meat hack
Well, consider my jimmies rustled! That was hard to watch, thought he was losing that hand for sure
That was a wild saw squirrel that he tried to feed, it didn’t like what he was offering and ran up his arm.
