Not to be morbid, but I'm curious how the accident occurred. Since I have three bandsaws (that are used a lot), it's an accident I don't want to happen...

Essentially I was cutting a curve in a block of wood, the blade started to bind a little so I added some pressure to get it through. I either misguessed how much pressure I gave, how dense the wood was, or something cause it shot through whatever was holding it back and about 1 1/2 more inches of wood and then my thumb behind it.

I told my wife i've probably had more safety talks on power tools than most as my dad and granddad were always using them quite often and then I had loads of shop hours in college getting a degree in industrial design........goes to show mistakes happen!

If I cut my big toe off will give me the set he does not keep :0)


A severed big toe yields a mismatched pair of SIDI T2's...

Cut off at the knuckle...still hurts bad, mainly for two spots, one on the top and one on the side of the thumb i'd be using if I were to pinch something, shoots a pain through my body like hitting your funny bone just to touch it.

The Dr. DID give me the go ahead to ride and run, so I will be on the tri bike on the trainer tomorrow :-)


He also said as he walked out, "oh and get rid of the damn power saw" hahaha

Well, as a youngster I managed to shove my thmb into a grinder hard enough to remove the fingerprint and a chunk of skin and meat.


This past weekend I managed to ski (downhill) over my glove, slicing through the glove and part ways through my finger, deeper than I would have though, oozed for a couple of days. N

My Grandfather was a blacksmith. I don't know how many fingers and pieces of fingers he was missing. I think part of a thumb was gone and parts of 5 fingers on different hands.

I almost thought you meant "New" thumb, like it grew back or something.
Heal fast my friend.

I expect we'll see loads of posts from you in the Lavender Room forums seeing how so many of the characters posting there lack opposable thumbs. :-)

Well, at least giving the "shocker" won't be such a big deal now.
