OUCH OUCH OUCH!!!! Hurts my hand just reading and looking at the pics. No how you feel though. I hit myself with a biscuit joiner. That was a new adventure in pain. Sorry for your pain.

My sympathies friend. Wish you a speedy recovery. Cheers.

-- You know.... I think that old wood needs to be furniture.

Get well soon!!

I too am sorry to hear about this. Two words of advice for the next few days. Keep the drugs flowing and keep that hand up. I wish you the best recovery. It’s going to take a little time but you will be making sawdust soon enough. Take this time to spend with the family and get that hand working right again.

Sorry to hear about this. However thanks for sharing. Maybe this will convince my administration to invest in Saw stops. Best of luck on recovery.

Sorry for your injury. Quick grips got me through the tougher times in my own injury, well and pain killers… I’ll post some pictures of the screws they put my shoulder back together with, in the off chance that it will help. The typing does get faster, eventually.

Best wishes for speedy healing.

Mate that is a bad one, recovery is a long road but just stick with it you will be on top again soon. I Dont believe a sawstop is the answer they just make people lazy Sorry of that sounds insensitive ,but look on the bright side, having butt hair on your hand is great for scaring little kids and its a great icebreaker at parties Get well soon .

-- if the hand is not working it is not a pure hand

Best of luck healing and to a quick recovery. It is a good object lesson to the rest of us.

Been there bud, almost identical thing happened to me in 1997. Tip of middle finger left hand passed over 3/4 dado set and shattered the bone, 2 surgeries later and many years, help but you’ll never forget. The day it happened, I got back from hospital, first thing I did was walked over to the saw, turned it on, and stood there looking at it running. Told the saw, it was not going to stop me, to this day, running the dados brings back the memories, and makes me think safety first, as it should. Good luck in recovery, and prayers are with you.

here’s to wishing you a speedy recovery.
