What Not To Do With A Table Saw (graphic Photos!)

Your "thumbs up" avatar is kind of ironic. Also glad to hear it was 4 months ago. I now know you're not sitting around in pain for days. That's passed at least. Gary

thanks Gary i now have a permanent thumbs up as it dont bend much LOL
 
I shouldn't have looked at the pix!! Man that is graphic!! I ran my finger thru a moulder head a number of years back. Got a little woozy watching them stich it back together. I don't know how you managed to not pass out fumbling with a camera during the whole ordeal!

Yeah you can tell one or two were kinda blurry from shaking. LOL.
 
I thought the pictures were awesome. But, then again, I'm a paramedic and think that kind of stuff is cool. I would be looking inside to see what structures I could identify. :sneaky: And then we could go get lunch. Such is the life of a medic.

Yeah stuff like that doesn't bother me. I started spreading it open trying to see inside and stuff and the wife was freakin out. The doc was really digging and I was all in his way trying to see too. Lol

This is what happened to me when I was in a rush to get things done on time. Not paying attention.

That one went instantly to my belly with adrenaline. man! similar thing happened to me, same thumb. The worst part...hours after it happens, when its throbbing in hyper sensitivity, they jab a needle right into the heart of it... did you just relive the pain? sorry man, it just isn't something onbe forgets.
I hope you didn't loose any function in it and that you wil be back to 100% maybe time for a sawstop?

Oh boy! Do I ever remember that pain. Had a little anxiety attack I think. I went through it twice, 2 years apart almost to the day. Gary

Cant bend the thumb no more but can still get in the shop. One good thing I cant feel it. Was sanding one time and started smelling something funny. It was my thumb getting scorched. LOL
 
Ohhhhhhh. Damn. God grant you the serenity to accept the things you cannot change. Indeed.
Sorry to hear you had to go through that.

yeah it was definitely an eye opener and sure have learned to slow down
 
Was it you Shane that received a Xmass gift of a air system . If so have you set it up and how is it working .
I am in the process of trying to decide on what to get and also a mask of some sort . I have a full beard and now need both mask and air system.
 
i cut my left thumb down to the bone with a knife butchering a deer. happened so fast as do most accidents. I too don't have any felling in my thumb, it will always be that way. I don't know what you were doing on your saw, but i use that GR ripper push stick best $60 i ever spent. use it constantly. prob gonna get a second one for my left hand
