Well 15 years of no accidents in the shop has come to an end. Was in a hurry, for no reason and didn't keep my hands and fingers out of the line of the BS blade. Was trimming some off of a lop sided blank and was telling myself to move my hands out of the way and it was to late. Blank slipped around the blade and got my little finger on the left hand.
Maybe should have gone in for some stitches but instead used a couple of butterfly bandages and finally got the bleeding to stop. Didn't make it to the bone but almost, caught it just between the nail and the first knuckle. I just knew I took the tip off because the glove I was wearing was cut most of the way through with blood coming out. I am also lucky that I have pain killers for my arthritis because I sure did need them within about 15 min., the throbbing is getting better after 9 hours.
I got lucky and will only be away from woodworking for a little while, cause it could have been a lot worse. And the funny thing was that just before and while it happened I was thinking of what Bill said in his video about keeping your hands out of the line of the blade. He is right.
That glove I use for turning will be attached to the BS for a reminder to slow down every time I pass it.
