[mikethetile]

done it mate and yes it does hurt

I followed it a few weeks later by catching the back of my hand in my chop saw then the following week i was using a framing nailer and a nail hit a knot and shot of the side of the stud and sliced my arm

my foreman flicked through the accident book when he was filling it out, 3 entries he said and all yours, 😳

 

[doug boardley]

I hope you didn't stain any grout, it's a nightmare to get out:20:

 

[Aston]

[macten]

Was reaching round to check the sawdust bag collector thingy and honestly thought my fingers were no where near the blade.
Stupid I know !!!

 

[Aston]

:lol::lol::lol:
That was my thought!
My step dad did the same thing a few years ago. He was used to using an old plane, treated himself to a electric one. First day he took it to a piece of wood and ran his fingers along the blade out of habbit... I laughed for weeks :lol::lol::lol:

 

[albyshellshear]

Is that what you call working your finger to the bone, get well soon mac

 

[Dan]

I'd normally bet you a tenner you wont do that again but by the sounds of it you might. :drool5::lol:

[stevee]

[doug boardley]

quick story: next door neighbour (when I was a lad) chopped his big toe off with his flymo:yikes: big panic looking for his toe to wrap in bag of frozen peas... I knew exactly where it was, and there was nooo way I was gonna go and get it off my black lab:20:

I hope your finger THROBS like HELL on the holiday....😛rrr:😛rrr:😛rrr:

 

[White Room]

Only 9 finger nails to trim now😳

Know a plumber who lost the tip of one of his fingers with a hedge trimmer
A plumber who shut his finger in his van door and again lost the end of one of his fingers.

 

[faithhealer]

Electric planer eh, my mate can't use mine be cause you need a full contingent of fingers to hold it and hold the safety button in. He only has four and a half thanks to an 'Electric Planer!
