caudleryan Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Happened yesterday at work. I managed to cut my middle finger with a jig saw. Fortunately, nothing too serious, but could've been. Edited April 25, 2020 by caudleryan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

okthree Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Been there, done that but with an Xacto knife. I stuck the blade all the way to the hilt in the fleshy part of my hand at the base of the thumb. Like you said I wasn’t watching where I was cutting. Instead was watching the final outs as the Boston Red Sox ended the curse and finally won the World Series after 86 years. I hope your finger heals up quickly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Ouch! I did the same thing the first year of college. Cut the tip of my finger off while trying to be cool carving some drift wood with my nice new very sharp knife. Finger was where it shouldn't have been, i.e. in the way.

Darren Roberts Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Oooh, that's nasty! I hope you recover quickly. My father in law was using a table and was guiding the board with his hands. Apparently he didn't realize his thumb was in the way. It didn't across, it cut up, like when you slice a hot dog. They repaired it, though, and it's fine now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 In order to combat corvid boredom let's start an argument about which manufacturer makes the correct color for the blood and whether acrylic, lacquer, or enamel would most likely have the correct level of sheen. And if that doesn't relieve the corvid boredoem, let's argue about how much blood should be thinned to airbrush with. ;D Seriously, I wish you good and rapid healing. 🙂 (I went to nursing school in the 1980s, what's a little blood over breakfast, anyway) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

evilmedic13 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Glad it wasn’t too bad. I had a guy with a tree blade, on a circular saw have it kick back into his knee the other day. Never saw one of those blades before that. He got lucky it didn’t go as deep as it looked. Heal up quick! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caudleryan Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 The doctor said it didn't look too bad. He went ahead and put in three stitches so it could heal faster. It'll make one cool scar, though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Napalmakita Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 That's the important thing...the cool scar! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Was on my way to work one day and saw a man laying in the snow with a young lady. They were waving me down so I stopped. Turns out he was using a chain saw to cut something and it kicked back into his thigh. He had a VERY nasty deep wound that was bleeding pretty steadily. The girl was pressing some cloth on it to try and control the bleeding. This was before cell phones so I jumped into my car and drove to a nearby hotel to call 911. I stuck around until I saw the ambulance on the way. I was already late for work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
