    Default Dangerman strikes again!!

    Well, I've gone and done it again. Fed my left thumb into the T/S. Stupid, stupid, stupid. 40 min drive to the doc. Won't post a pic (though I have several). Suffice to say the sawbones couldn't stitch it as it was a nice jagged deep hole about 12mm x 12mm almost to the bone. Jeez it stung but....

    Better fix up the table on the t/saw so it doesn't rust.
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    Geez Shedhand...I can feel it from here, although I'm not to far away because I'm also in Tassie. And don't they look ugly. Worst one I saw was a friend (also Tassie) who was using a tool (Arbotec or something like that) which is essentially like an angle-grinder with a chainsaw blade. It got away and ripped his hand up real bad. Uuuuughhh. I hope it mends well.

    ...still blood-stained from the last time I fed myself into the damn thing..... Should move to a safer state. Tasmania harbours too many dangerous tools (or is that fools?).

    Best wishes for the healing. Maybe buy some push sticks for Chrissy.

    Hey Mike,
    I've got a Sawstop mechanism and blade used only once by Brendan if you want it, it's yours.

    I thought they could only be used once. Did Brendan survive? 13 Main Street, Derby.
