Hi Charles,
Glad that your brother's injury wasn't too bad - but where's the blade guard, or at least a GrrRipper or two?
I've got a 12" TS, and I won't go near the thing until I'm sure about what I'm going to do
Cheers!

A sobering reminder. Thanks (I think) for the post. Hope recovery goes well.

Probably does not sound very sympathetic - but I think that blade needs sharpening !!
I instinctively clench my fists and tuck my fingers in when I see pictures like that. Have stiched a few modified fingers over the years and hope that I do not have to have it done to me. Used a bulldog clip once to hold one together until we had all the gear organised and sterilised in a bush camp. The owner had been filleting a fish and not really concentrating, the knife slipped, followed the bone and stopped when it hit the knuckle. I think he said 'Oh golly gosh' but after about 5 mins was in absolute agony - it takes a few minutes for the hurt to start. Hardly see the scar now.
How many times have we all done silly things and got away with it?
2 sheets to the wind and memories flooding in!!
cheers
