A bit of an enforced hiatus and I hope everyone is keeping as good as possible and are able to keep warm in this chilly weather
A silly accident caused a lot of drama, stitches and a matching finger amputation on my right to go with the thumb and index on the left ... bought a mini circular saw as the larger size was too unyieldy and dangerous for my manky hands. Yeah right ...
... tip ... always make sure a saw is unplugged before changing the blade.
A 3/12 inch blade can do a lot of damage when let loose at 1800 rpm ... especially when you use your hands to bat it away as it flies at you
As the doctors said ... I got away with one ... but I just feel stupid.
Onwards and upwards even if I can't point the way
... looking forward to catching up with peoples, posts and games

Nice to see you @WelshBlue, I thought you had left
Another accident to add to the collection, that sounds quite scary, I think I would have tried to bat it away as well seems like the natural reaction!!!!0 -
Welcome back @WelshBlue, I thought you'd gone all quiet on us.
Sorry to hear about your battle with the circular saw, that sounds nasty. But I'm so glad you're mostly in one piece and still here to join us in the games.0
