Not only is he still cutting strong, but he's editing video during his breaks. Sighn is a machine. A tired, tired machine. Plus, he's got so much saw dust in his curly fro it looks like he's wearing a powdered wig.

NOON JUNE 26 - NOON JUNE 27 2008
24 HOUR CUT A THON
Sighn will be cutting his signature ITSOK (the 'limited' edition of 1 million) for 24 hours straight. From Noon June 26th to Noon June 27th at his Chicago studio, taking only a 10 minute break every hour.
The pieces will be numbered on the back as part of the edition of 1 million. Also, each ITSOK from the 24 Cut-A-Thon will come with a card that will be signed and seperately numbered (from the amount created during the 24 hours.)
Each special edition ITSOK will be cut from 1/4" Bamboo, and 1 tree will be planted for each one purchased.

I know you’re wearing safety goggles, but I wish (hope) you considered a simple dust mask. I’m sure it would be hot and uncomfortable for such a long stretch, although I can imagine safety goggles digging in after a while.
I’m a little concerned now about your long-term health re the dust you are inhaling. We need you to live long enough to do one million, not to mention enjoying other parts of life along the journey.
Please reassure us ITSOK. And you will take care of your lungs—and even skin—as you continue making the world more OK.

P.S. I noticed a nozzle above the blade; is that a blower to keep the surface dust-free to see the lines? I can imagine that would reinforce the need for “inhalation safety.” Don’t some wood finishing machines have vacuums built in to eliminate large quantities of sawdust into a bag? Maybe you could engineer something…although I’m sure the decibel level is already fairly high. Which brings me to yet another thought/concern: earplugs?
