Ouch, could have been worse. Thankfully its not.

-- I can fix ANYTHING!.... Wheres the duct tape?

OUCHY…......................Makes me cringe a little. She was only trying to help.

-- Jerry--A man can never have enough tools or clamps

OUCH is right!!
Dan you should have paid the 85 shipping and handling!!

-- Jeff - Dayton, OH

Look on the bright side, at least it will grow back!

Sorry Dan, it happens very fast it’s going to hurt for a while I had an accident last Thursday too.

-- <<<<<< I will not stop until I get it right. >>>>>>--

What happend GMman?
Hope all is intact.

-- "Even small steps makes a distance." (Shawn Phillips, musician)

GMman, you aint like that guy that did lose the family jewels are you?

-- Dan-- Info for all @ http://www.hoistman.com

I damaged my left hip pretty bad.
I’m trying to get use to crutches.

-- <<<<<< I will not stop until I get it right. >>>>>>--

It was close to the family jewels. lol lol

-- <<<<<< I will not stop until I get it right. >>>>>>--

Hearing about accidents is no fun. I’m always leary of asking one of my children to help with the saw.

Hope everything get back to normal fast.

Now would be an excellent time to use her guilt for some new tools ;^)

Glad it wasn’t any worse.

lew don’t say that she must feel bad enough.

-- <<<<<< I will not stop until I get it right. >>>>>>--

Dan,

I was just about to mention what Lew said. Look at it this way. You are helping her to forgive herself for the accedent by letting her buy you the tool that you maybe couldn’t afford yesterday.

Just a thought

-- Wipe the blood stains from your blade before coming in.

PS

Let us know what you get!

Wow big ouch

Not good…hope you heal up fast.

-- Wayne - Plymouth MN

That is why the LOML won’t even come into my shop. LOL I do enough damage on my own.

-- There is no such thing as a mistake. Its called a design modification Rick Kruse, Grand Rapids, MI

I know what you mean . I had a neighbour come ask me to cut some wood for him ,he would not stop pulling on the wood as it came near him out of the saw and off the table,as he stood down the other end of the saw waiting patiently. I asked him repeatedly not to touch it but instinctively he was overwhelmed and thought he was helping.I had to shut down the saw and explain the dangers to him before he walked round to where I was standing to my eventual relief.sorry about your accident/mishap.Alistair

-- excuse my typing as I have a form of parkinsons disease

She just likes to stay close to me, she worries about my health issues and does not want me working on anything alone. NOW she understands about not grabbing the wood coming out of the Saw. LOL

Sorry to hear about your accident, and not to make light of it, but it brought a subject to mind. Once I think it out, I will blog and ask for opinions.

-- Wish I were Norm's Nephew

Dan, Glad to see it wasn’t worse.

Lesson learnt.

For some reason, it seems to be human nature to try to “help” by catching off the table saw.
I’ve had numerous people do that over the years and it scares me to death. The only people I allow to do
that are those I have trained. Even then I am leery. I guess i’m sort of a loner when it comes to woodworking.

Glad you weren’t hurt worse.

-- Kent Shepherd * The goal is-----More Tools!

ouch.

glad you’re well enough and can type this thread ;)

curious – does the TS have a riving knife? how did the saw grab hold of the offcut? – the more we know, the more we’ll learn to anticipate for in time of need

-- When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route.

Purplev, No riv knife, it is a Ridgid TS2400. Splitter is very thin and flexable enough that the side pressure she put on the door caught the blade and just snatched right up and back.

-- Dan-- Info for all @ http://www.hoistman.com

glad you are o.k. ,

i don’t let anyone help me ,
unless like kent i have trained them myself .
they just don’t understand the forces involved .
i’m even leary of them touching the work ,
as the oils and grime on their hands
mess with the sanding/finishing .

so how did the door fare ?
salvageable ?

at least this is worth breakfast in bed ,
and whatever …............?

I’m glad my wife doesn’t like to “help”.

I really don’t like operating machinery with anyone around at all. It’s just another thing to worrry about when other folks are nearby.

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

Door is trashed as is my blade. The sudden bind between the blade and fence bent the blade too. Charlie, she was not supposed to help, just stay back out of the way, she just couldn’t help herself. LOL She learned why I didn’t want her to help and I have more wood and blades. She’s a hell of a good cook, so I forgave her. LMAO

-- Dan-- Info for all @ http://www.hoistman.com

I’m with CharlieM1958. But stuff like that Dan, including a nice bruise on my tummy, got me into using the guard and rigorously upgrading the saw. Looks repairable, screws and glue?

-- Jim, Anchorage Alaska

That looks more like a wifey hit instead of a TS hit..glad you’re ok. Injuries in our shops are like a lot of plane accidents…pilot error.

-- "Give The Gift of Life, Adopt A Child"

bruc101…I’d take offense to that, if it wasn’t true. :)

My big old 1940’s planer probably scares me most. And almost all the accidents in my shop are my fault…so they are pilot error.

captkerk, is that pic a Gulfstream ?

-- "Give The Gift of Life, Adopt A Child"

I’m a little concerned about the swelling I see in the picture. press gently, if it hurts all over its ok BUT if it hurts in just one spot, You need a picture to look at the bone. good luck

-- RTB. "dumb animals are not stupid they simply can't talk "

that’s nasty!
Rick and I have a pretty good system of working together. But when the table saw turns on I just back away. I don’t even watch. If something horrible was to happen, I couldn’t stop it and I wouldn’t want to watch it happen.
The table saw is not my friend. Don’t like it. Never will. uh uh

Once your wound starts healing, (and I’m sure your wife is taking really good care of your right now), your wife needs some pampering. She must feel horrible!

bruc101, it’s a CRJ in United paint from when my company used to fly as United Express.

hi capt…When I first noticed the pic it looked like maybe a gs4 or 5 but the pic so small I couldn’t tell. I thought the engines looked a little small for gs5 and it was lower then the gs5. CRJ a nice craft. Has it got a HUD in it?

-- "Give The Gift of Life, Adopt A Child"

Ya I get injuries when my wifes in my shop with me too papadan ;P….yes..of course…working :P

Wow, that looks like it hurt….glad you are ok though…..nothing worse then seeing accidents around power tools….too easy to have a very bad outcome….I bet though that the lesson will stick…no more grabbing the outfeed from the TS….
