What have been the worst home handyman accidents you've had,or seen so far ?

Dead bad people for the most part.

You seem to think this is a bad thing?

Gunner

He doesn't think, he just parrots the anti Second Amendment cult.

Probably faked though as the tendon would only go till just after the wrist where it attaches to the muscles that work the fingers. About 6 inches I would estimate. I always took my watch off after being told what happens if you forget and reach between the battery bus bars and never have worn a ring as they are naff and dangerous everywhere not just at work.

G'day Roger, They sure didn't believe in getting rid of a good thing in those days :) I remember it from '71 or '72.

G'day Roger, Could have been ?? May not have been a tendon, but that's the way I remember it. It still did the trick, even if they played around with it in the 60's and 70's. I won't let the War Office see this in case she takes your point of view and makes me hunt up the ring :)

regards John

When I got married it was a one-ring ceremony so i would never be tempted to wear a ring ;)

Maybe we're getting some insight into why kids don't want to take shop classes any more. Given how they dress and groom, it's downright dangerous.

Most of my machining books contain warnings about tucking your tie inside of your dress shirt, and covering it all up with a shop coat.

Yikes. Over this past weekend some guy was killed when his shirt became entangled with a stump grinder being operated by some tree company. No word on why the homeowner was hanging around so close to the activity that he could get his shirt caught.

Oh, jeez, did you have to say that? I'm not going anywhere near my lathe for a while now...

-- Ed Huntress

I wonder what his response will be if we bring up doctors, motor vehicles, food and power tools, not to mention ladders....brrrrrrrrr!

Gunner

I wonder if they still sent a bill to the house?

Gunner

I had heard of a # 1 etc. but never a # 0

Dave

I rather like that term of endearment ;-)

It just perfectly sums up their position.

Dave

What, for cleaning the stump grinder, you mean?

David

This is one of those occasions where the subtle difference in language use between UK and US does rather change the implications!

One of the more sensible laws we have

Spoils your day a bit if you're not a baddie, though

Ah, that's why they are allowed in Septicstan
