    Default 8 fingers plus 2 thumbs

    8 fingers plus 2 thumbs. Still all there; however, not too straight!

    Got all ten but I shaved a little off my left thumb on a buzzer and cut a little off my right thumb on a table saw when a piece of Red gum unexpectedly fell apart.

    Nothing serious but both had to be bandaged for a fair while

    Technically ten but two are 5mm shorter than should be. When I first started working in the family business I tried to cut corners one day and didn,t put the guard back on the TS. I have tried to remember (ha,ha) but I still could not tell you exactly what happened. Grooved thumb and pointer on LH through the bone and when they were stitched up the doc just pushed the remaining bits together.
    Have a nice day - Cheers

    Yup, Im a "pedant", 8 + 2 here.

    I have some wicked scars too, some from chisels, none from machinery and a few more from playing with swords.

    I almost lost one finger at five years of age. Whole family was out in the shed watching Dad cutting on his table saw (cost him 27 pounds when a tradie got 4 and 3 a week) kids were taking the offcuts out when the blade stopped but to win little sister and brother were taking the bits out just before it stopped so I went for the offcut just a little bit sooner so I could finally get a piece out index finger was nipped by the saw I have a scar now that is 3/4 of the way across the first join.Very lucky to still have 8 and 2.

    My kids know well and truly not to come in the shed unless I say so and don't touch anything without asking first

    I Still have all mine 8 that is but as a marine engineer knew a few with less most common was for people to put thier fingers under diesel fuel injectors to see if they were operating when testing , they inject oil into your finger tips and there is usually no saving them
    My father an old time carpenter did loose a bit of skin when he used an electric plane for the first time felt underneath to check the cut depht before the blades had stopped

    From my early forestry days, using chainsaws with no PPE, I have a couple of big scars on my knees. Big suckers they are, didn't feel it, but felt sh@##t house when I seen the damage!

    I never try and get my ambitions and capabilities mixed up, but a few cold beers, on a hot day, and well, you all know what happens next!
