Why am I watching this? Why did I spend an hour or so watching Gavin Clark yesterday?....and the day before when I first came across his channel? His enthusiasm for starters....his videos seem to run at double speed. He seems to get an adrenaline rush as the project develops and he wants accelerate coming out of the back strait and get it done. Damn it , I swear my heart rate went up as well - and I am sitting in an easy chair with one of Germany's finest beers and I haven't seen a Playboy mag for thirty years at least. HIs pieces are just so original - the video thumbnail on the Industrial Style Shelf Bracket had me intrigued enough to drop my intended search. He has worldwide interest in his work - and reading the comments/compliments the most frequent word used is original. A large proportion seem to be from experienced people in the steel industry. Me? The closest I get to working with steel is an aluminium knife and fork set. I subscribed

WOW JL D, you have just made my day, what a lovely comment thank you so much, I am very happy you like my videos and the way they are edited, I do try to speed them up as much as I can so they don't become a movie-length video, I appreciate your comment, thank you very much and welcome to the channel. I have another one uploading now, so that will give your heart another workout. Gavin

I beg to differ Sir... At the 3:00 minute mark you said the safety thing and that you were not a good role model for this. Actually in my opinion you are the perfect role model. A man that understands his tools and his abilities and limits with them. Then says to himself... I can do more. Applies his creative side to it his tools and new abilities appear and sets new limits. All while understanding the tool cannot hurt you if you listen to it and feel what it is doing. You...are a role model this world should see more of. Because you make great things and still have all your fingers and eyes :)) Thank you.

Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment and do mostly agree with you, I am this way because I have had many years on the tools ( I have had my share of injuries, but as you say I am not missing any bits of me, and I love what I do). Many people are just starting out, I would love them to watch and practice some very safe ways to operate powertools before they start cutting corners on safety, at least then they know they are cutting corners on safety. Thank you so much for your comment. If you don't mind a bit of blood here is a video of splinter I got in my finger, all part of the fun of making stuff, it healed up fast and all is good. kzread.info/dash/bejne/lGGFsqeqn6-4o7A.html
