John,

I know what you mean, 45 years experience working around tools is no defence. A couple of years ago I was using my power planer at an unusual angle so I didn't have to set the door up like I should of (why bother, I can do it right here in a few seconds). Anyway before you could say where are the bandages the planer blade took a good chunk of the end of my little finger. It looked pretty bad. Luckily for me I healed up great and now unbelievably I cannot tell (hardly). The follow up is that I was working with a good young carpenter about 6 months later and when he was using my planer one day I sat him down and carefully told him the whole story of how that planer go me. Anyway the VERY next day while he was working alone he did the exact same thing with it!!! Luckily we both came out ok. Have patience and let it heal.

May God Bless,

Joe
