In last night’s beginner class, a rushed table saw rip made me rethink sequencing; I’m moving Week 1 to bandsaw practice and hand-tool cleanup, with a strict hands-6-inches-from-the-blade rule and riving knife/push-stick requirements before any table saw work. What early drills have helped you build accuracy and confidence — thinking straight-line rips in 3/4 in poplar and simple stop-cut practice — without sacrificing safety?
