One of my woodwork teachers sliced off two fingers in a band saw in class.
Totally clean cut , he said it wasn't even painful. He just reached into his brown, woodwork teachers' overalls, grabbed a bit of rag , picked up the two fingers and said
I poked out a knot from my potting shed last summer and peeked out through the hole, just as a bee thought he'd come through the hole from outside to have a look around. Bees are soooo big when you see them up close!
Fortunately it was a bee and not a wasp so it didn't sting, but I still danced around for a while whilst reciting a few choice technical terms...
We should all probably take up knitting as we're obviously maniacs in the garden. However,.... pointy things....
Ohweweeee, some of these stories are making me queasy...
I still remember when I was about ten and my father slipped and cut through his thigh with a chainsaw whilst chopping up wood. Quite an impressive looking scar for the rest of his life...
Brother did that Archiepem - he was only about 4 years old and had seen the adults spiking the lawn - he spiked right through his sandal and was fixed to the lawn - good job he yelled so the adults heard him - hospital visit and anti-tetanus needed.
A friend's hand slipped while using a chainsaw - he wasn't wearing the safety trousers - the chainsaw sliced into his inner thigh just (and only just according to his wife) stopping short of his manhood!!! A wait of nearly 20 minutes for an ambulance (very rural area) - ambulance 20 miles to nearest A&E, lots of blood transfused and lots of stitches - a very lucky man.

Don't strim wearing sandals.
Thanks for the timely warning Steve, glad you're ok
had an apprentice I was working with drop a running petrol hedge cutter - and then try and catch it with bare hands!
apparently my bandaging skills are top notch and the hospital managed to reattach two of the three fingers he removed quite easily!
Methinks you win treehugger.
treehugger - oh for ***** sake!
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
