SawStop

I remember watching a SawStop ad quite sometime ago, where they used a sausage to demonstrate the product.
It’s basically a circular tablesaw that prevents accident by going from full force to a complete stop in case someone puts his finger/hand/body part there.

The saw detects a finger by using an electric current. So if something conductive enough goes through the blade, it goes to a full stop.
Breaks have to be really harsh to completely stop a circular saw spinning that fast… and it is. A piece of metal (which ends completely destroyed) gets shoved in the blade. Costs 60 bucks to replace it, but as the video says, better than a finger.
In this video, the creator goes one step ahead and puts his oen finger to the task. Something I believe he’d never do if he didn’t trust his own invention… :P

How’d feel living in a 1,70m x 14m house? In Japan, you can!

It’s of course, not something very common… but it’s possible due to Japan having loose laws to divide land.

Looks pretty awesome!
I mean, I’m not that much a fan of toasts, but with something like that I might add them to my breakfast just to watch bread getting burned… :P

Of course I don’t have the full image here… would completely eat up my bandwith. But the video shows how detailed it is.
This is achieved by taking tons of pics with a special rig and then stitching it up with special software and stuff.
Very awesome!
