Do you remember or are you old enough to remember "smiley faces" with a Bic lighter?? As dumb as I am now, when I was a kid I was even dumber.... I wanted to do one on my shoulder. I did it once and it wasn't near hot enough, so the 2nd go round I heated it up good and proper!!! It sank into my flesh and burned a hole. My idiot step mother at the time (she is no longer such) asked me if I was in a gang.... ha ha ha
The scar is a keloid and 30 years old, it used to be on my shoulder and is now middle of my upper arm.
Ouch. I've been dinged by a few of them coming off of skilsaw blades cutting tin before. Thankfully I was in long sleeves and wearing a faceshield. Nothing under the Hide.
yeah my mason just recently had a stone chop saw blade break and a piece went flying into his knee. it's deep too. He was back at work a few days later though.
Sawstop is a cool invention for sure, but it won’t help you when the teeth delaminate from the blade. Happened to my dad once cutting composite honeycomb to make a bulkhead. About 4-5 teeth came off and worked their way up his arm like bullets. Last one stopped in his upper bicep. Was fun pulling them out
trouble is that the Sawstop saws seem to have more trouble going through thick stuff than powermatic. I'm a builder and all of my cabinet guys saw the same. many of them had Sawstop saws and sold them and got powermatics for this reason though I'm not sure exactly why. It must be the way it electrically detects a body part in the blade and all or something, but it's a thing. Otherwise yes, they are absolutely awesome for that one feature.
yeah, I feel that! I know I'm in for it... My oldest looks more like me, but my youngest is just as stubborn, strong-willed and Gung-ho. Not a good combo for some things, excellent combo for others. He will absolutely be the ER kid. I have my own stitch kit with lidocaine and all but I don't think the wife would let me stitch one of our boys like she's watched me do to myself more than once. That's how I knew I'd marry her. We were dating and I cut myself at her parents house. I went in and asked for a needle and her dad helped me heat it up and bend it and I started stitching myself up and had her dump some peroxide in the cut. When she did I acted like it really hurt .......and she started crying...... I knew then she was a keeper.
This guy put his hand over some tubing as another stand was coming in for a landing. He was wearing impact gloves. This is after it was cleaned up a little. He lost some thumb and those 2 fingers never worked right again. I actually never saw him again after that but I know his brother.

Oh I'm sure she's still an idiot. She's no longer my step mother. my dad is a 3 timer but he's been married to the 3rd wife for about 16 ish years now and he's an old man now so, this is it for him. That step mother "Kim" is her name , was/is a real nasty woman. She called my brother and I "Red neck terrorist " because we made a freaking potatoes cannons when I was like 12.
