The video brings up a question. I have always been taught to never wear loose jewelry, long sleeves, or gloves when using rotating machinery. What are your opinions of the gloves he was wearing?

Welding gloves are not the best thing to wear, very limited grip since they are so thick.

Your hand is never anywhere near the wheel.
I use gloves in the winter and have no close calls at all.
It's the safest way I seen to make hive handles.

That's Carl Korschgen, a colleague and friend.  We worked for the same lab for many years and we're both retired from our past day jobs.  Carl made a hive body assembly jig for me that I'm using now to get the last of about 400 boxes put together before Christmas.  He's quite the thinker and has done some remarkable things with wood.
