Been hurt a lot over the years. Grinders,sawzalls, circular saws, table saws, impact gun, DRILLS. It's anything where the piece that you're working can move because it hasn't been fastened down somehow.Other times, the piece will stay in place and the tool you're using will jump back and bite you. You gotta be thinking all the time.
The last time i messed up the table saw and my thumb had a disagreement. Took about eight months to heal up and that's a real problem when you're working with your hands every day.
<sigh> It's like my dad used to say:
Look kid .... if you're gonna be dumb you better be tough !
( Experience is a harsh teacher sometimes. )
