I’ve Done it Again

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.

  1. 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!
