Cool.
I hope you have kids/grandkids that you can terrorise with your new 'mutant' thumb.
Flashbacks are 'interesting' aren't they?

Mate I throw the pointy things in and around Canberra. Only in a social sense tho. I was very tongue in cheek about it tho cos I am not very good at all, I just throw for the enjoyment.

Agree 100%. Same as when I first got on a motor bike nearly 40 years ago wearing nothing but a pair of footy shorts and a pair of thongs, cranked it on for about 100m and promptly fell off at the first corner. I twisted an ankle and the bike fell on top on me with hot exhaust causing 3rd degree burns on my left calf - I still remember the smell. My mates dad made me get back on and ride around the block before taking me to hospital. Probably wouldn't have gone near a motor bike again if he hadn't made me do it.

Penrex,
reading your reply on later usage of triton, perhaps you could be happier using a small bandsaw with cutting depth of 4 or 6 inches? The bandsaw is quite a versatile tool I have found lately, especially with one of those modernistic type steel blades.woody U.K.

Just did a similar thing on Wednesday on my 12 inch table saw, ripped my left thumb from the nail to the first joint down to the bone, actualy the xray showed a nice straight grove along the bone.
it left a nice clean entry wond but the exit looked like a bomb crater. hurts like hell and its the simple things that realy anoy you like trying to open a milk bottle
I'll be more patient next time
Richard
