The Handy Disclaimer
Whatever it is, it's not our fault.

We’re not lawyers, but we have helped a few out over the years.  And they told us that we absolutely, positively had to place a disclaimer on our site that applies to all information contained on this site, herein (that’s a legal-y sounding word, right?).  These videos are intended for instructional purposes only, and should not be taken as an unchecked and unwarranted license to wield sharp tools, especially if you’ve been told otherwise by parents, medical or mental health professionals and/or any representative of the justice system.  By viewing these videos, you’re agreeing to hold harmless the creators of (and anyone else affiliated with) this site.  It’s true … accidents do happen in the shop, so suck it up the best you can and get the medical attention as necessitated by any injury you might sustain.  None of these projects should be undertaken by an unsupervised minor (although, if you’re still going to try, we salute you youngster). 

All that being said, just be careful and don’t do anything idiotic (notice that we didn’t say, “don’t do anything the Handyman wouldn’t do”, for possibly obvious reasons).  If you need help with a project, ask for it.  As we well know, there’s no such thing as a home improvement Medal of Honor.  Unless you count the Darwin Awards, but you don’t want one of those under any circumstances.  In fact, they may be the main reason why we put up this disclaimer to begin with.  Comprende?  Absolutely no Darwin Awards on our watch, got it?  And, yes, we’re taking any response, including silence, as a tacit agreement that you’ll hold to the preceding code of conduct.
