Why Bandsaws Should Be Taken Seriously

Yep - lopped the tip off my finger once with one of those thingys! Luckily I found the bit and they could reattach it. Welcome to the muppet club Shane! :cheers:

 

 

I also never recommend mixing electric drills with alcohol....:banghead:

Oh my, don't tell me..

You have played with nail guns too???

 

How did you know? :rolleyes: On a more serious note, I once shot a fairly large staple completely through a finger (right through the bone) with an air stapler; removal took a shot of Demerol and two cute nurses . . . . I think a doctor was also present. :jester:

This is why I don't mix electric drills with alcohol:

I do also recall another time when I was living in Tokyo, 2 or 3 or more margaritas along and I tried to demonstrate how (not) to juggle a Japanese carving knife - it landed point down through the middle of my left big toe nail....:ack:

I had a bad bandsaw accident at home many years ago. I had a small piece of sheet metal, so small that it didn't stick out very far from the blade. I was pressing really hard on it to keep it from flipping up (which should have been the warning). The blade caught and flipped the piece up and I got sliced just like you.

 

Kinda like drilling a thin sheet on a drill press. "I'll just hold it down real tight to the table so it won't spin when it catches". Instead of using the clamps or a vise, you get good at pulling your fingers away real fast. :)

Yes - he did that opening a bottle of tequila. Those screw tops are so dangerous.

 

Ask Shane to tell you about the time he got groin strain in a strip bar. He slipped in a puddle of beer on the floor! :jester:

Well, the 'finger' is healing up nicely. Sorry, just looking for humor in tragedy. :jester:

 

Hi Shane,

Did I ever tell you about the time I got hit by a backhoe....

 

You are healing but not fixed....LOL

Sadly have not had the pleasure of meeting many of the animals here, 2 occasions where attendance at a get-together went sour. One of these days?

So I just lurk in the shadows here, ambush where appropriate. Your post was too easy an opportunity for even my 62 yr old feeble mind!

Good grief! I wake up this morning to beer slippage, big black backhoes, groin injuries and . . .

 

Oh yeah, Steve and I road together on the backhoe to the bar where all questionable occurrences unfolded. And you wouldn't believe how great a chick-magnet a backhoe can be at the right bar . . . Never did find my fingers after opening that beer. :D
