I learned a valuable lesson on using the disk sander last night: Don’t poke your thumb into it!
I was thinning the edges of some leather to use on the handle section of my bow and must have got too close. (Well duhhh!) I guess I’ll have to re think how I perform that operation now wont I. I won’t gore you with the details. It will be fine but It will be sore for a while. Lesson learned! -- Dave.

Sorry for your pain.

Dude, I think I see what your problem was! You had that big piece of gauze wrapped around your thumb! I bet it caught in the disk sander or something…
(j/k)
I wonder if one of those chain mail carving gloves might be useful?

Sorry about your injury. Those grinder can be wicked. You have to pay attention all the time.
I had a young fellow at work that was using a 7” grinder on a welding project. One of the guys had taken the guard off. The wheel caught on his coverall leg, & tore the pants leg right off, but no injuries, luckily.
