    Default Dangerman strikes again!!

    Well, I've gone and done it again. Fed my left thumb into the T/S. Stupid, stupid, stupid. 40 min drive to the doc. Won't post a pic (though I have several). Suffice to say the sawbones couldn't stitch it as it was a nice jagged deep hole about 12mm x 12mm almost to the bone. Jeez it stung but....

    Better fix up the table on the t/saw so it doesn't rust.
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    Geez Shedhand...I can feel it from here, although I'm not to far away because I'm also in Tassie. And don't they look ugly. Worst one I saw was a friend (also Tassie) who was using a tool (Arbotec or something like that) which is essentially like an angle-grinder with a chainsaw blade. It got away and ripped his hand up real bad. Uuuuughhh. I hope it mends well.

    ...still blood-stained from the last time I fed myself into the damn thing..... Should move to a safer state. Tasmania harbours too many dangerous tools (or is that fools?).

    Bugger me. Bugger that. Is it buggered?

    Best wishes for the healing. Maybe buy some push sticks for Chrissy.

    Hey Mike,
    I've got a Sawstop mechanism and blade used only once by Brendan if you want it, it's yours.

    I thought they could only be used once. Did Brendan survive? 13 Main Street, Derby.

    Here's a video of the actual unit I have capturing the blade, prior to me bringing it back to Tassie.
