My great grandmother had a boyfriend who was a butcher. He retired at the tender young age of 90. He was very proud of the fact that he had all fingers whole and intact.

I'm a sheet metal worker with over 31 years in the trade. While I've had my share of stitches, I too have all digits whole and intact.

I'd suggest a change of careers, possibly an office position but then, you'd probably soon be posting about
the hazards of paper cuts ......

Just a thought ... your weren't, by chance, the inspiration for the screen writer of "Saw" ???

Sounds like you need to get a SawStop to start working with.

recluse, many years ago my Dad removed both joints of the first and second fingers of his right hand while working a piece of molding on a jointer planer. It wasn't pretty. You're fortunate.

Could have been worse, I suppose. I won't post the link here because it's disgusting, but do a search for "gixxer forum chain fingers" only if you have a strong stomach.

^ Holy shit.

First comment: "Holy shit. You are one dumb ****er!" lol

I have had moulding pieces blow up out a shaper before, and stick through a sheet of 3/4" plywood. I have had pieces blow up and damn near impale me.

A lot of the time it's when you lose concentration, for instance, a few months ago I had someone walk up to the door of the shop I work (we keep it locked because of the neighborhood) and and try to get my attention by screaming and yelling while I was on the table saw. He almost got a stick up side his head. Some of my other incidents were when someone was stalking my wife and when my sister was murdered.

This time someone had broken into my house a few weeks ago and I'm trying to put a case together because the cops are useless in this town and my wife's a nervous wreck. Hit us for some $15,000 in jewelry and other items. The guy who broke into the house is a known felon who lives around the corner and thumbs his nose in the face of law enforcement; has told others in the neighborhood he's wants to come back for the TV and computers.

My line of work you can't drift off..., but sometimes life just loves to play with you....

That is some rough stuff right there. You would think that everyone knows that moving chain + rag + hand = BAD IDEA!

You need some of those steel mesh gloves that the butchers wear.

^That'd probably get caught in a table saw....

Right, sounded good at first.

Rub some dirt on it and it'll be fine.
