"So in building the bunraku arm control what I'm now going to do is cut that groove for that slit into the arm rod that I mentioned that I'm going to be sticking the hasp hinge into. So I'm going to turn on the band saw. I assume that everybody's worked with a band saw before and they know they should keep their fingers clear of the blade and wear glasses. I am now wearing glasses. And I'm going to turn this on. So now we're going to check to see if that fits. Not bad. The material, the metal of the blade, is a little bit thicker than the slit that I just cut. So I'm going to run it back and forth on the band saw a couple more times. You don't need to see that though."
