Any woodworkers?

Hahaha

 

3 walls done.

 

Fancy!!!!!

 

Sooooo. Today I did a thing..... Not to proud and won't be doing this again. But tablesaw vs finger never a good thing......

So what are your worst shop injuries? (I would post pics of the actual injury but don't want to gross anyone out or violate anytype of terms.

 

Not good. I have been fortunate and only had minor injuries. Had a kick back on a table saw that caught right above the manhood. Left a hellova bruise and a lump. Also cut my thumb to the white meat but no stitches. Shot myself with a framing nailer when it went through the stud and into the end of my right ring finger(of course this had to happen when I was on top of a 12 foot ladder). But I’ve been lucky. Luck runs out in a wood shop really quick. Watch yourself.

 

Yea until this, thats stuff I have dealt with. just stay safe?

 

Damn. That sucks. Thanks for not posting carnage pics. Hope it's a speedy recovery.

A guy in the gun club I belonged to back in NM took off all 4 fingers on one hand at an angle with a radial arm saw.

I had the same thing happen to me.

 

Ive definitely been there!

 

Damn, @jmess82.

Best of luck on the recovery.

 

Thank You!

 

Ouch! Glad you are okay.

 

I work at a slaughterhouse so I've seen some fucked up injuries..

What actually happened, as a learning experience?

 

I used to be in the FD, I’ve seen some messed up stuff as well.

 

I’m sure it would be difficult to tell which blood is which in that circumstance.

 

It's not hard, the first step is always to get them off the floor, so you can usually follow the trail of blood.

Then you go back through with 12.5% sodium hypochlorite and clean the human blood while they're getting treated.

We had one guy cut off all his fingers in one of these:

Now that had to hurt.

 

I was attempting to make a hand plane holder for my French cleat wall. I was cutting some strips on an already thin strip (first mistake) and it was to small for my push stick and didn't have a pencil or something near by (second mistake) and when I was running it through the strip cought the blade weird and kicked back and when it shot out of the place my finger that was guiding it continued to go forward into the blade. It all happened so fast. Basically complacency killed my finger tip. Hard lesson learned and I'm really kicking myself for it.
