John Heisz: Can paper cut wood?

Can paper cut wood? Before you answer, it would be a good idea to watch a video posted by John Heisz.

John Heisz replaced the disc of an electric machine with a piece of plain A4 paper without “any special treatment,” as he states on a woodworking website he owns.

Then he starts by cutting a piece of paper with another piece of paper. He continues with the paper he cut on top of each other, with a piece of cardboard and finally he cuts a piece of wood!

Unfortunately, the paper “saw” couldn't handle a larger piece of wood.
