Thread: And the day started so well...

EWWWWWWWWWWW
A speedie recovery Ben.

Ben,
I bet there was considerable relief when the local went in.
Keep it dry and get well soon.
Ross

I bet that bloody hurt, sorry to hear about it.
I know everyone tells y ou afterwards but plan your move and take your time when moving heavy things.

I hope it heals quick so you don't have to much shed down time.

Dave

Hope the brickwall is ok.

Never mind the wall, how's the shaper?!

Well if a jobs worth doing, it's worth doing properly.

And you certainly did a good job on that finger. Nasty.

If it's any comfort, it usually hurts more in the coming days - especially when you bump it

Cheers

Rob

Well I couldn't help myself. During the cricket lunch break I righted the shaper using the hoist and positioned it where I wanted it. The local is wearing off and my finger is throbbing.

The wall is ok, the shaper tool head i fear may have suffered some damage. It was vertical before the drop and offset after. I'll have to have a look at it after. My wife says I did it on purpose, to get out of changing nappies! Clearly she doesn't understand how much I love my machines and fingers.

And how much you hate changing nappies! Thankfully those days are over for me. My kids know better than to suggest I do anything like that with their babies.

That finger looks like an ouchie. Hope your shaper is ok. The finger will heal, the shaper you will have to fix.

And of course it's your domestic digit....Bugger.

Just thinking about it I had a power hacksaw fall over on me not so long ago, made me jump out the way and remind myself to slow down, lucky no damage was done.
It was only a drop of about 20mm from concrete to concrete while it was on the pallet jack, but enough to make it slip to one side and it went down with a big crash.

I think the shaper will be fine, there pretty strong around that area.

Dave

I'm glad that's all that happened Ben.
Great background in the shots. For the recovery shots, the offending shaper has to get its head in.
I suggest unplugging the shaper for maybe an hour as its punishment. If it had taken your finger right off then maybe unplugged for an hour and a half.
I'm sure you will enjoy bumping that finger into every conceivable thing within a 100 km radius (make that miles as I'm not real good with metric).
Speedy recovery Ben.

Phil

Hi Ben, that sure looks nasty.....

My wife would still be making me change nappies if i did that, consider yourself lucky!

Hope it doesn't stop you from enjoying your break.

Cheers,
Ew

That gives me unpleasant tingling in unmentionable parts of my anatomy.
You've got back on the horse already, now take some time off and look after that digit as no1 priority!
Take care.

Hi Ben,

I can feel the pain all the way over here...
Take care.
