Wow Ray, glad it wasn’t worse.

OW!, (that's gotta hurt!) is there a permanent loss?

**Texman** · #13 03-04-2021, 07:31 AM

Fred, I dont think it's permanent. Doc said the skin portion may heal up in 3 weeks or so. The nail area, six months.

Scary at the time. Funny now. My dad's cousin was showing me his new saw. Very first board shoved through in his demonstration.

Thwoppp!

The end of his thumb hit the wall.

Power tools scare me a bit ever since. Healthy fear/respect is probably a better description.

Take care folks

When I did my finger, they took out the stitches a week later, and I was back to normal tasks, with care. I had problems with the nail longer than six months. Let's hope the Doc is right

My friend!

I'm sorry for your accident, usually these domestic accidents are quite dangerous. For a prompt recovery!

Kind regards!

Well, I didn't have to have stitches. The entire piece was just lopped off.
Nothing to stitch to!

Ouch Ray, hope you heal fast.

Try to remember to curl your fingers, and use the finger knuckles
to guide the knife blade like a rip fence on a table saw.
