    So sorry to hear, woodworking, perhaps the most dangerous hobby. We just can't be too careful.

    Wish him speedy recovery.

    I don't know Nate, but wish him well.

    For me, the Saw Stop table saw is one of the best inventions in the last 50 years.

    It may not be cool and it may even be a PITA sometimes but I use the guard on my tablesaw for everything but dado cuts. Here's wishing Nate a speedy recovery!

    Thanks Hilel for the info on Nate, we all have had painful mistakes but with the power tools they get real bad real fast!

    Heal up fast Nate and stay positive, we all have you in our thoughts.

    I did some wood swaps with Nate a while back, he seemed like a real "stand up" guy. Sorry to hear about his accident, hope it doesn't curb his enthusiasm for woodworking.

    thanks for the kind words, folks. I went in for a dressing change and checkup on it today, as the pain really increased from swelling. I'm scheduled for thursday morning surgery, which won't come soon enough. I'm a little nervous about going under anesthesia, but the surgeon is great and has operated on a couple family members and a good friend who is an artist, all of whom had better than expected outcomes! Until then, percocet only dulls the pain; it doesn't take it away completely. Once I get back on my feet a bit I'll post the xrays; pretty scary. There must be 30 stitches in it just as a temporary closure until the orthopedic repair coming up. Lots of screws & pins in my future.....



    Be careful folks; a lot can happen in a split second. I was using a pushblock, and sure didn't think I was being careless when it happened. Boy was I wrong. Updates to come after surgery.
