I was jointing a peice of stock and my ring finger was ever so slightly hanging over the table when I felt the blade. I snapped my hand back and didn't look at it, I just said "Oh S**T" I didn't want to look at it. It didn't hurt but that doesn't mean anything.

This is all the damage.

Thank god.

I'd say you should probably spend a bit of extra time at church this week.....Glad you ended up ok...

Either that or I need to sharpen my blades :laughing:

Spent some lathe time yesterday trying out my new carbide tipped chisels and came away with two very small (paper cut sized) cuts on my hand. Only thing I can figure is that chisel is extremely sharp cause nothing went wrong with the turning, but I did run the chisel across my hand to clear away small chips and dust.

You got extremely lucky with your jointer. That thing can remove a lot of skin real fast!

Consider that mishap just a warning. It's one of those things that stay in your mind for a while. As a result, it's likely you will take preventative methods next time.:yes: Angel was on duty.
