Ran out yesterday to get rid of some scrap metal. Stopped at the local restaurant on the way back for supper. While there, a couple and their daughter from our village came in and took the booth behind us. We've known them for over 50 years, so started chatting as neighbours do. Turns out they had just returned from the hospital, where he had undergone a "minor" procedure. It seems that he had been trying out his new tablesaw back in September, when he reached for a loose piece of lumber, resulting in the abrupt removal of an inch or so of his left thumb! Yesterday's appointment was to remove part of the nail, which had started to re-grow out of the stump. It was the first time he had ever tried using a tablesaw. His wife and daughter got rid of the saw to avoid any similar occurrences in the future. PLEASE, folks... ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FINGERS AT LEAST 5" FROM A SPINNING BLADE! (Not my rule, I read it somewhere.)
