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
Be Careful...another incident!!
