Working with the mill tonight. Made a mistake and got my thumb to close to moving parts. Got bit.Now have 2 stitches. One in the nail and one in the tip. A tooth put a nice slice right up the middle. Learned a bunch. Did not bleed like I thought it would. I consider myself VERY lucky. Tom

Tom, You are very lucky. Have a friend that lost the tip of his index finger while working on his mill. It was just one of those OH S*** things.

It is easy to get lulled into a mind set that makes us forget how sharp, fast, and powerful our tools are. I'm glad it was not worse. Remember thumbs are what separate us from dogs.

That pretty much sums it all up.... :P
