Ouch!! we were just discussing this at work the other day . We never seem to follow the same safety rules at home that we do at work. Safety Glasses , gloves, etc......
Best of luck on the healing up, and keep it clean.

Its amazing how may times this happens. If your right handed it almost always happens to your left hand. Wearing a glove on that hand would save alot of pain. But since its already done I hope you heal quickly and well. My only complaint is when will the med schools teach the base ball stitch so the scars will at least be cool.
Chicks dig scars.
You get alot more lovin when your hurt.

yeah and remember to always pull wrenches dont push. I was removing my body mount under the driver seat last week and the bolts were in bad shape. i sprayed with penetrating oil for a couple days. when i tried to loosen it it moved a little then stopped, moved a little more then stopped. I decided to really give it the buisness and the head snapped off sending my hand forward punching the corner of the door jam. Result, dislocated little finger and broken knuckle, i have a totall of six weeks in a cast. i just wish the truck would fix itself as fast. good luck with the stitches man i feel your pain.

I was thinking about safety last night as I was tacking up a family cage in my garage, wearing shorts & flip flops. It didn't get to the point of action, but I certainly thought about it for a fleeting second.

OUCH! BUT The cut off wheels will go thru gloves as quick as it went thru your hand.
Keep all guards in place.
Keep hands clear of the business end of all tools.
Don't forget your safety glasses and face shield.
For good measure toss your welding shirt on.
(Yes i am a safety guy,)

I have (had?) a pair of gloves. Had an attack of a 1/16" thick 4½" angle grinder wheel. Lasted less then a second. Glove smoked and was now vented. The wheel touched the skin but didn't leave a mark. Those were just a normal pair of Mechanix gloves. Yes, I did destroy a $25 pair of gloves. But that was the best use of that $25 I could have done that night.

Gloves don't stop everything. MIG welding a set of gates. Quick and dirty fab work. Wire skipped out, white hot ball went right through the heavy leather welding glove, through the finger and stopped when it hit bone. Glove didn't do a thing to slow a white hot ball of metal being pushed through it.

Watch the sunburn. Couldn't figure out why I got so burnt when I stayed in the garage all day.:eek:

Looks like that'll be all healed by the time you have to drive down here for the 30th annual pig roast at the end of the summer.;)
