Yesterday I was building a bar for the playground of my child, so she can do some gymnastics. I mad it with stainless steel and worked at the belt sander. Then I realized that you should allways adjust the tool for the job! The rest in the front, to put the steel on, was a little bit far away from the belt and the gap was nearly big enough for my thumb. Now my thumb fit:



It doesn't hurt so much but it will take week's until the nail is grown back. Until then it is painfull to grasp something.

Another lesson in life... :eek:

With all the blood and tissue on the floor...

Looks like that I am the lucky guy, with only a 'scratch'.

Hope you are more carefully, then I was.
