Hi George,

Sounds nasty m8 - hope you're well soon.

BTW, it does seem obtuse to treat someone with derision in this circumstance.

Anyone who's had an accident like this knows full well they've made a mistake - but that's the nature of accidents surely.

But I'm sure there's lots of people who are perfect and remain accident free - well done!!!
 
Lee, we all sympathise believe me but I guess we all give sympathy in different ways. Judging from Georges comments his attitude is much the same

Get well soon George, there but for fortune goes I.

I was about to cut some wood with the chain saw the other day. I thought it wasn't worth putting the PPE kit on for a little bit of wood. For some reason I got distracted and didn't get the chain saw out.

The very next day a guy at work told me about his mate who had just cut his leg down to the bone with his chain saw. Apparantly, it happened so quickly that he didn't feel it. Next time I'll put the kit on, even if its for just five minutes.

Anyway, thanks for the cautionary tale. Be brave. It will really smart when the pain killers wear off :wink:

All the best

Steve
 
I think when you get an involuntarty clench reading something like this it's a sign that you recognise how close you've been yourself. At least it could be fixed.

Re. your mate's story, years back when I first used [tried] a hand held circular saw to cut floorboards, I was kneeling on the floor and rocked the saw into the wood. Of course it kicked straight back into my right knee, opening it up like a water melon with a slice missing. Didn't bleed, could have been a lot worse. Now I'm very careful with circular saws.

Hi Adam.

The hardest thing i have found to do left handed is wipe my *** and the refuses point blank to do it.
Selfish *****.

Regards George
I had this problem when i cut off the end third if my right thumb....I ask a mate to install a "Roller Towel " for me so i could sit astride it and just pull with my good hand .....on the down side you tend to end up with a skid mark halfway up your back . :wink:
 
Jeez sorry to hear that George hope it gets better quickly `but for the grace of god.....`
Absolutely nothing to do with your post but thought I`d share it.
Had to evacuate a club yesterday(gas leak) in the early hours and my mate and I were in the cellar with the owner/manager sat at the top of the cellar steps in his dressing gown fuming and threatening to sue everyone, well all I can say is its hard to remain cool, calm and professional when someone`s`meat and two veg` is winking at you :lol: :lol:

Hi george,
lots of sympathy for you, sounds awful. It is always frustrating when it then stops you from doing your turning.
With regards to your lovely wife helping you out, if you ask her nicely I'm sure she wouldn't mind using a scraper or a parting tool to help you out :lol:
