One finger that is about 1/16" shorter,,,, that was a real lucky one. Pictured is my worst... from a kick back... Scraped the tendon on the middle finger... Doc said just a fraction deeper and I would not ever flip someone off with that hand again!... Hope you don't lose part of that finger... and hope you heal quickly... I guess I need to come and help you with some home projects. Ouch, Darn that has to hurt Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I finished scrolling and went to rip down some backer board, my head said "use the push stick". Well as I often do, I chose not to listen. As I was flicking the cut off piece away from the blade this happened. Finger VS. Table saw!!!! Table saw 1, finger 0. I knew better but figured "just this once is okay. I have also been waiting for something like this to happen. It's not "if" but when and how bad. Well She said that the specialist will be the one to decide the finger fate on Tuesday. She sewed it up the best she could. The bone is REALLY bad messed up. Then to top it all off I glued the backer to the wrong side!!!!! LOL, I guess you win some and then you lose some. I did rip a piece of wood when I got home at 3:30 this morning to overcome the "fear". I believe I might have learned something. At least this project will still end up fairly decent despite fingering it up! I sure hope you heal up quickly. That has to be so painful. I can feel your pain, just looking at the photo.. Be really careful..If only you could take away a moment in time, this would be one of the times you would do so, if you could Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
