This chip deflector is a finger saver. When using carbide tools the wood streams directly back toward your hand and, especially dry wood, can inflict thousands of tiny nicks that you won't notice until later when your hand feels like it's on fire. My shields work terrifically, are easy to make, and I highly recommend them. I am still using the same two shields made in this video. This video from 2013 has been re-edited because the first version was poorly done and watching it made me nauseous. The video quality is still 480p and rather poor in spots because it was shot was using an old Canon point and shoot. The build part is slightly abbreviated however I added a video of the deflector in use.
