    another guy with severed fingers (not me)

    Well, my mother just called me to tell me what has happened and to ask if i know the guy personally but i only know of his existence. anyhow, details are sketchy as to what happened at the shop but a few facts are known so far. the guy was building a personal item off duty hours on sunday without permission of the owner and the hospital has confirmed that the guy lost four fingers. it is unclear if they reattached the fingers or if it was even possible to do it. it also unknown to me what machine did the damage, i sure hope it wasn't the shaper or joiner.

    well see what happens.

    Not good. Let us know the details if you think that it is something that might keep the same thing from happening to one of us.

    I just realized that sounds kind of callous but if it helps just one person avoid the same fate the spreading of the details will be worth it.
