Well, I was on a roll yesterday turning. Got about 2 dozen turned and was working on a BIG canal special when "IT" happened.
I still don't know what happened. I just set the 2x2 in the lathe, masked up, turned on the lathe and next thing I know, Mu right ring finger is caught between the stock and the tool rest. Can you say OUCH!!! I said that and a few other choice words. Worst pain I ever felt.
Iced it down for about an hour and decided it was off to the ER. 2 hrs later, the tip of my finger is black, there's blood under the nail and it's fractured. Thankfully, I still have my finger!! Now I'm on Percs for the first time ever and I'm not so sure I like them!!
Let's see....chimney sweep came yesterday to clean. Told me time to re-line at $1,400.00 Then the "Finger Incident" When I got home, I just went to bed. Figured bad things come in threes and I was NOT going to find out what the "third" was going to be!!
Be careful out there.....you just never know when it will happen!!!
Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch
