my dad last week had an encounter with the table saw. a picture says a thousand words. the other 2 are, be careful.

Thats butcherous!! I ve had some good battle wounds in the kitchen

appetizing:yak6:

that had to hurt, bet he said many bad words.
Sorry for your pain, and thanks for the reminder!

.

sorry to see that repirts :(
I know what it is like, and fingertips take a long time to heal.
I hope it heals up well for you.
BE CAREFUL!
I won't ask how it happened, but use a pushstick.

Are those 2 photos of 2 different fingers?? thumb and index???

owch!! I love it when I have bass thumb, but not tablesaw thumb:(

its the index only. left hand. dads a righty.

Repirts....you stick to air brushing....let the boy do the cutting.;)

THANKS for the reminder Christian,it can happen to anybody any time ,especially when your tired or in a hurry. Was in both one time and lost tip of finger with hedge clipper! [ouch]
Hope you Dad heals fast.

OUCHIE sorry my friend. Last year I was cutting a piece of stock on the table saw and I dropped it on the floor. I tried to bend over to pick it up and I got a terrible shooting back pain and started to fall. So natural reaction was to stablize by reaching for the table saw...... oops bad reaction took a chunk of thumb off. thankfully they sewed it back on: I can still type :)

My friend chopped his finger off with table saw ..he was going to pick it up and have it sewed back on ..Cat got it first and ran off with it . no lie .. Tell dad leave your saw alone.. He's just an apprentice and don't forget it ...

ouchie! :eek:

Ouch.... it is scary how fast things can happen. Hope it heals up good.

Hope your dad heals fast!

my buddy lost part of his fingah on a table saw...sewed it back on but it did not take....I call him Frankenfinger......
Hope your not in too much pain respirts.....heal well

Yeeouch!:eek:

Most the old time carpenters always were missing a digit . tell your dad to take care of it and be thankfull It wasn't his casting hand. Christian remember don't allow your dad near that thing again unless you teach him the proper way to handle it. Give him a plug and let him rub it in his hands. Kinda of like a sercuirty blanket.
