Thanks, Gretch.......George is one interesting fellow......

I watched this video of George:

Well, you certainly have to admire George and his accomplishments......but, just as "sighted" people, not all blind persons should be doing what he does, from a safety standpoint. George dreams big......has proven himself, and he is a great example of a blind person who can, and has the abilities and burning desire to pursue this dream of woodworking with power equipment.....by overcoming his limitations.

George is very special.......
