I guess I should have been more specific, as I got a call from a fellow forum member wanting to know how bad my accident was. I was runnin a piece of wood through my jointer and it kicked back, throwing my finger into the blade, and it shaved off my finger print. Not bad really, it could be worse but I have to lay off of it so it heals faster.

Minor but unfortunate just the same. something that simple can keep a person from their regular scheduled life as well. The longer you give it a rest the faster it will heal is a good motto!
glad your healing up! Keep it clean and clear of infection. If you let it get infected then you have a bigger problem on your hands.

I did the exact same thing about 30 years ago. Had a thumb that has about 1/3 the meat cut off where the thumb print should be. It all grew back with time, can't even tell which thumb it was now by looking. If I recall it was a combination of a jointer that wasn't as sharp as it should have been, a work piece that was too small to be safely used on a jointer, and too many beers. Havn't used a jointer since.

Can't help but notice that the jointer goes, but the beers stay Roll Eyes
