Title: Missing body parts
Post by: jfabmotorsports.com on February 23, 2010, 01:14:11 AM: Saturday my thumb was were it should not have been and part of it still is. :-( It didn't hurt much all that day but it sure slows the work down not to mention half of my sex life is on hold for a few weeks. :-D
If there is anyone wanting some K5 work done please be patiant. I am the only one that works on the parts that you all send me so there will be a short delay.

Your on the "List" to have a good word put in for a rapid recovery.
The equipment alot of guys work with is very unforgiving, and as resiliant as we are, we are quite fragile.
The thread on knee repair kind of made me think about that, and now this..

It was in a Press Brake. I was forming some "C" channel out of 1/4 bar stock. I had done 6 or so and the last one slipped on me and the press closed the C completely. It sheared the tip clean. Not even a peace to pull off, just me here and my thumb tip over there. :-o

sorry to see it Jerry.
Heal well as can be..... and keep it clean.
You don't want to deal with infection.... that can be worse than the injury.
