About five years ago, I sliced off the meaty tip of my middle finger on my left hand with a marking knife while using a combination square. Well I’ve done it again. The exact same wound. I don’t have any pictures from the hospital this time. But I did manage to locate some of the dried blood after I got back home.
Maybe it will pit the holdfasts for better grip.
I’m told this too will grow back eventually. But I’m in pain and limited in what I can do both in the shop and at the office for a week.
Moral of the story: be careful out there folks.

I hate it when I get myself like that, the worst part is having nobody else to point the stump at afterwards and say “that was your fault!”….

Seriously. Happily, it’s not a stump.

They’re really wood tools, not hand tools.

I have a saying; “if I’m not bleeding I’m not working” but that might be a bit much :-). BTW, Steve thanks for a good laugh.

I made a cut on a table saw to the bone diagonally across the pad of my left thumb. Didn’t notice until I saw blood dripping everywhere. Then, 40 years later I repeated the same injury on a table saw again to the same place on the same thumb… Well not exactly in the same place. This time the cut was in the other direction. Now I have a perfect X shaped scar on the pad of my left thumb. Next time I’m likely to end up with a representation of Kurt Vonnegut’s drawing of an asshole!
