Driled my finger

[jonyyuma]

Sorry to read about your drilling pinky. I just had to put a seam-ripper thru my thumb nail to let the blood out and start the healing?I have used a tiny bit to do it before, but did not trust myself this time.Used BH's new ripper and twisted it right on in, without pain?

I got "sympathy pains" for you brother:laughing: Doesn't sound pleasant at all, i 'd say a few bowls of ice cream would help:thumbsup:

BTW, since you "did it", did you at least use a backer board or tape to keep it from splintering out the back? Nice clean hole is something to brag about!!


When I was young (18) and always in a hurry. I was exiting a 4' scaffolding on a construction job, as I was airborne, I looked down and saw that someone had put form boards, nails intact, at the end. Yes I landed trying to "miss" and ended up with a 16d nail in my heel, hit the bone and slide up till it was buried. I slowed down after that.....

Got that right, I can see it in my mind and feel it to this day. Getting it out was the worst part.

Today I put 1/4" cobalt drill bit through my right pinky. 4 stiches. But the doctor was a tractor owner - 26hp Kubota

a new years eve or 2 ago I put a self tapper sheetmetal screw thru my palm with a screwgun while trying to put up a small parking garage structure.

long screw tightened my hand right up.. fun part was backing it out.

hand swelled good.. some antibiotics.. and then for the next couple months metal came tot he surface.

good luck, hope it heals good for you..!

Always remember some years ago reading a two page 'official accident report' about some bloke who had hit his left thumb with a hammer. Under the heading Remedial Action Taken it stated that Mr Blogs has now been shown the correct position for his thumb when using a hammer.

I have never had a really serious accident with power tools, and they say if you use them a lot, sooner or later the law of averages will catch up with you. Since I did carpentry work for 35 years, and have been an avid do-it-yourselfer for 40 years, the odds are REALLY stacked against me by now.

No power tools for you! You sir a walking disaster just waiting to happen:laughing::laughing:

I've kept my accident average up over the years. No really serious ones. I should be okay. I laid a good sized tree right where I wanted it to go today and no branches fell on me, so that might not bode well for the future.

my dr is constantly mad at me.

except for a bout of heart problems over the last couple years, the previous 10 ys i've only really been to the dr for farm injuries.. lots of holes poked in me.. things sticking out of me.. antibiotics.. animal foot prints on my body.. xrays..
