cdrover Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 I am reminded of my fathers words, a machine is designed to do it's work and it will do it's work regardless. Wood, metal or flesh and bone, it doesn't matter to a machine, it is designed to do a job.. Wishing her a speedy recovery. Quote

ike Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 I too had an argument with a table saw a few years back and lot a thumb right at the joint. Iand i had to go to church the next Sunday for saying a few bad words. Quote
amazingkevin Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 You've no idea how i can feel her ego lost and pain.I just about faint when i get cut so I'm in shock from what just happened to her.Ooh that's a horrible wound.I would shake badly to try and bandage her up for a trip to the ER. A hot bullet exploded in my friends hand and the closer i got with the tweezers the more uncontrollably i shook and could not even get close to squeeze the tweezers to help him,when i was 10 years old.
