Driled my finger

   / Driled my finger #12  
Sorry to hear about your accident, considering how much I have used drills during the last 40 years I am probably fortunate I have never injured myself that way.

Not to hijack the thread, but my wife's brother in law has damaged fingers on both hands because he was careless with power saws...two separate incidents.

Is this one of those life learning moments? :eek:

LOL. I am glad TBN stepped up to the challenge:)

I was drilling holes in vineyard trellis steel posts. They were bending under the pressure - decided to hold it against the drill and one time placed the hand carelessly.

If you had cleaned up the edges of the hole with a countersink, you might have needed only 2 stitches.

After that, he could have tapped the hole and put a plug in there and needed NO stiches:D

What no pictures!


Oh yea...... 3/8" gets a doctors visit but 1/4".......I don't know about that:p

I do know about it and its true, hopefully ya seared off the bleeding by placing your pinky on the other side of the piece to be drilled so ya didn't make a mess :)

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



Have you used a nail gun yet ? Ever shot a nail through your finger ? Not as bad as a drill . but, it doesn't feel very good either. It's quick:D

Prokop, I'm glad you are okay and not worse for the wear. I know there seems to be nothing that hurts quite like a hurt finger. I'm not gonna make some wise remark because that would be bad karma. It would surely come back to haunt me.
