I for one, like to watch your videos and look forward to the 'spiral' one .

The saw has a dust port and does suck the dust downward through the holes on the table.. But I shut off the Vac when I video because of the noise.. assuming nobody wants to hear that..   I also have a box fan with a furnace filter that I kept on during the video mainly because the saw is louder than the fan.. and that fan / filter helps a lot..

Thank you for commenting.. I don't never know whether to do anymore videos or not sometimes.. it seems I get mixed reviews about it..  I do this angle because who wants to watch a person sitting in a stool spinning a board around not knowing what they are really doing.. then after every cut.. the person holds up the board so you can see what they did for that 5 minutes spinning the board,  .. I think people want to see what is actually happening.. I watch the videos I make and sometimes I learn things I'm doing wrong while cutting.. watching it slow motion one can learn a lot too.. but.. not learn a darn thing watching a person sitting spinning the board that you cannot see  ..   I need to do a project that requires the use of spiral blades again and show how I cut with those.. I've had people asking for that one.. I just don't use spirals very often..I'll for sure mess up staying on the lines with those.. but that's art of the " Handmade "  

Thank for the info. re. dust extraction, Kevin.

Your thoughts and observations reflect my views exactly of what I would like to see as the work is being cut. Perhaps some people struggle for technical reasons to get a good position for the camera, whilst also being able to see the workpiece properly as they are cutting, which probably explains why some cutting videos are less successful than others. With the sound, you could possibly record without, then add voice commentary later, but then we are in the realms of video editing, extra work and time, which all come at a cost. I would be interested to see a still shot which shows the camera setup in action and any practical tips you can give re. scrolling and videoing simultaneously.

I enjoy the videos Ken and I alway enjoy watching how other people do it.
