... slammed a corner of it directly into my balls. ..



Luckily, we didn't get a photo of that...


Oh - come on - we want to see his balls after that!

Maybe he could do it again and then post the pics.:D:ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

You better suck it up when shit happens, and... take pictures. :S:D

I was running a piece of wood through the table saw last Sunday evening when the saw kicked it out violently, and hit my finger. I was guiding it through with both hands, one on the front after it was clear from the saw and one behind doing the pushing. It had a section already cut out with a portion protruding on top. The saw hit a knot in the wood and shot it out, and the protruding edge caught my little finger.

Strange thing was, it didn't hurt! :S Suck what up? Soon as I stopped the bleeding, I headed off to the ER at the local hospital myself. It was late evening, and the place was almost deserted. Good time to go IMO. I was in and out of there in 2 hours, less than half the time of past visits. In the 2nd picture, you can see the meat that has been ripped. The flap of skin with meat still on it feels numb when I touch it, so obviously the nerve endings were severed.

Six stitches in all to put it back together. It was a weird cut, U shaped, with a couple other cuts branching out from the big one. I think the doc did a hack job, but after all, it's a small hospital in a small city. Probably should have gotten one or two more stitches but it'll heal, and I'll have an interesting scar.

He said to see my regular doc in 5 days to follow up, and again to take the stitches out. Fuck that bullshit. I got a tetanus shot and amoxicillin, and I'm taking the stitches out myself after 10 days. I aint paying $30 co-pays twice. The only time it has really hurt was when my 11 month old girl grabbed it while I was changing her diaper. Note to self: always give her something to play with first. :|



You're such a pussy.... no sympathy from me..... :D:D:D

Seriously though.... be careful out there Billy. :P
Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

I decided to see if I could get it to run through. Yeah it went full speed...and then spit the piece right back at me and slammed a corner of it directly into my balls.

Actually, for the big plywood pieces, I lay them over 2x4's on the garage floor and run my hand-held electric saw.



I met a framer who had kick back on his skill saw, this time the saw went flying back wards on to his belly and started cuisinarting it all looked like a burn victim after it healed.

What a wussy! I can't believe you went to the hospital for that! ;);) You should have just licked it off and put on a bandaid. :):)



Pfft! Porpoishead told me to pour straight up ammonia on the wound and wrap it with duct tape, and keep on rolling. :S:D

That boy ain't right. :|:P

What do you mean? He would have saved you $30 and you'd probably have less scarring.

I didn't have to pay anything for the ER visit. It's 100% covered on my insurance. I don't have any ammonia laying around anyway. So what if I have a scar? At least it heals.

Hey Billy,
After watching a surgon sew two fingers back onto my left hand, I went out and lobbied to replace all the School Districts table saws with "Saw Stop" table saws. They are very expensive, but they work very well. Extreamly cool technology; play the video on the right...

Sure is. Well worth the price for a big commercial or school workshop. A bit too pricey for the average do-it-yourselfer at home. My finger did not touch the saw blade at all though, it was the wood piece I was cutting that did.
