Where’s the face shield? I don’t understand how demonstrators can so callously misrepresent the dangers of woodturning without a face shield—it is as if racing a car without a seat beat.
Picture a bat swinging into your face by the most powerful of hitters—now triple that force—now triple that again. That is what to expect by woodturning without a face shield. Furthermore, facial reconstruction from these types of injuries are very difficult and costly.
Viewers who attempt woodturning without a face shield after reviewing this story and become injured should have full right to file personal injury claims against the demonstrator and the broadcasters!
Shame on you all.

Nicely done Jim.

Still trying to figure that writing thing out, huh?

One of the best interviews I’ve seen. You should highlight Mr. Ketron with his own half hour show every week!

Having started woodturning around the same time as Jim, I often turn to his work for inspiration and ideas. The internet brings us so much closer, enabling people to explore the many possibilities and enormous talents hidden behind our various daily lives. Many thanks for this informative, down to earth interview.

Fantastic work!!! You couldn’t have spotlighted a finer gentleman than Mr. Ketron. I’ve seen his work on the internet and am just as impressed by his willingness to help others as I am by his artistic ability. GREAT JOB!!!
