I thought the "free" package of 10 dog holes was the clincher ;-)

Yep, I thought this was a little extreme, even for Lee Valley. Then I
thought, is today April 1st? And the clincher is the Click Here for More
information line. Where you get the story behind Lee Valley's April First
Products. The is number 11.
Like I always said, Lee Valley is a class act.

I thought about that a couple times, as I secured a workpiece in a vise
yesterday. Sometimes vertical is a great way to go for working.

If you make a habit of wearing flip flops, that kind of reaction develops
quickly. Drop something on your foot once or twice, and you become much
more aware of the effects of gravity. :-)

Don't tell me you wear flip flops in the shop???
I realize that sneakers aren't much better, but still, you won't get
splinters through your sneaker (smaller ones). Certainly a sneaker
won't offer much protection from a knife or chisel...

Nice save..

Not when it's a dropped chisel or plane, or any tool, or even the wood

The leather uppers on my sneakers/tennis shoes/running shoes/athletic shoes,
pick your regional variation, deflect a dropped chisel much the same as the
leather uppers on a work shoe. That said, _if_ i drop a chisel (which I
try not to), I'll move my feet out of the way before it hits the mat
protecting the chisel from the concrete floor.

Email Lee Valley and ask them. If they don't know, they will find out
for you. Their customer service is top notch.

This afternoon, think I'll email Lee Valley customer service and see
how many questions they got about the Youbo. :)

I wonder if it integrates well with the Woodcraft Splinter(TM).

The "gravity included" feature of the dust collection system was also
a hint.
I liked the STORE tool chest shown in the video!
And did anyone else react that some of the things they showed in the
video really would be easier if done standing, with the workpiece near
eye level?

Many of the April Fools products are pretty good ideas. At least
one -- the "Story Tape" (blank tape measure) -- ended up being added
as a real product.
This one has some details that may well end up in a lot of shops.

After you've been doing woodworking a bit longer, my young friend, you'll no
doubt find that you don't need crutches like that to get you past the
limitations of your current skill level. Guillaume-Robert, or for that
matter any old-timer who grew up using his remarkable bench, would tell you
that even one extension would fall into the category of what we today call a
training wheel.

I did the opposite, kinda'.
I was re-installing a set of planner blades in a 20 Powermatic in the ag
shop, and re-adjusting them. A wrench or something was sitting up on the
top of the planner, and students were gathered around learning to at least
appreciate what it took to set up a planner. One of them bumped the
[whatever] and it was about to hit the newly sharpened and honed blade. I
tried to grab it, and in doing so, ran my knuckle along 3 or 4 inches of
blade. About 3 stitches, as I recall, almost to the bone.
I did keep from getting the blade nicked, though! It was all instinct,
unfortunately.

I also step quickly away, but it is a trained response (fortunately
without an injury story behind it). While I am stepping away, there
is a voice in my head shouting, "Don't do it. Do! Not! Catch!"

I did say, "usually". ;-)
A couple of decades ago, I knocked a knife off the bench at work. I
instinctively jumped, spread my feet apart and raised my hands above
the table. A cow-orker remarked that my reactions "weren't natural".
"Everyone else would reach to grab the knife to stop it from falling."
Screw the knife, and the floor. ;-)

Unfortunately, the sharp edge sliced an inch deep into the web between

I'd be very pleased to fit into the "unnatural" category.
