He was lucky indeed. I know it’s winter but sleeves need to be short or rolled up and secured. carry on.

It been often said that it’s not the beginners at something dangerous that get hurt the most, since they still have a healthy fear and respect for the danger, but the experienced ones that have become complacent because they have become so familiar and used to the danger.

I see that periodically you post some relevant safety-related item. Thanks for doing that. It helps keep safety at the front of our minds.
EDIT: As an aside, it only takes a moment of inattention for accidents to happen (AKA, a not so lucky break).

Some years ago I bought some small steel saw blades for my flex shaft
When I bought them, I remarked to my hubby that I needed to be careful with them, that
they could be dangerous
A few months later I got in a hurry trying to cut a small piece of amber in half, the
blade caught and kicked back, I almost dodge it but it caught the tip of my left middle
finger, Yep trip to the ER to have it reattached After that, I decided that I would just use a cut off wheel that breaks
even if I wold lose more of the stone, I gave the blades away
I know several women that have managed to sew thru a finger also, I think the newer
machines make it harder to do

Chris,
Sorry to see that pic; hope that it heals quickly and correctly. So that might be why we haven’t seen much of you in recent weeks.
