Wonderful world of Bogu Manufacture

Not sure if any of you have seen this, but I was browsing around youtube and saw these two vids.

I found it very interesting how the expert craftsman put together the essential pieces of equipment to minimise injury (unless you up against Taiatari Chris!). It actually made me stop and realise that I don't think enough about the hard work and dedication that goes into making our gear and thankful that a lot is still done by hand.

That being said, I know I've been in the "Risk Assessment" game too long when I watch a vid like this and immediately think "Where is their safety gear and why doesn't that saw have a guard rail with interlocker..."

Welcome to the blog

A great first post mate.
I find this stuff really interesting as you just don't hear about bogu manufacturing.

I hope this is just a precursor to even more insightful posts
