Mangled My Fingers With Circular Saw! Squemish Don't Look!

Well I finally did it, after 30 years of working with power tools I had an accident. I was cutting a piece of plywood with my cordless circular saw and it kickekback and got the first 2 fingers on my left hand. Totally my fault, I was tired and did not hace the ply secured.

Re: Mangled My Fingers With Circular Saw! Squemish Don't Look!

In machine shop in 8th grade (1994) I had a girl cut off all the fingers in her hand. The shop teacher yelled at her and was mad. He started screaming,"I told you kids something like this would happen. See you should have been more careful."

While he was yelling at her and us, she was in the corner in shock. The paramedics showed up, picked up the fingers, and took the girl in an ambulance. They ended up reattaching the fingers and did a great job.
