Chop Saws are Dangerous.

This happened in a split second. Didn't have the part clamped tight enough, and went to tighten it and it slipped.
The actual pix are graphic. VERY.



So, needless to say, be careful.


You dont want to end up like Nine Half and now me, coz together we make 19, and 19 sux.

Hope this will bring you some laughter and embarrass my uncle at the sametime. My Uncle had the tip of his bird finger amputated from Gardening. NO SHIT, he got Gaingrein. At least you can say you lost it doing something Manly, unlike him. Later, Dave.
