[pianotech] Danger!! was Journal Article

[Fenton Murray]

Absolutely Ed,
I don't quite remember this set up, but there was a bit of posing for the 
camera. Also, the piece is getting to the danger zone in that there is not 
much to hold on to. I do have a piece of hard wood acting as a fence which 
is clamped to the table.
With a slow cutter speed the stock behaves quite well, a second person can 
help in this operation.
Something I have long wanted to do that would improve control over the work 
piece is to build some kind of foot for the feed leaving both hands free.
Thanks for bringing up the safety issues, if your set up doesn't feel right, 
find a safer way!
Fenton
