Never hold a part in your hand while you drill it.... I held a small part in my hand today (I Know... DUMB) and drilled a hole. Part locked up and spun with the drill bit...... next thing I know I am looking at the tip of my finger laying on the ground. Talk about pain. Luckily my wife was in the garage with me and got me in the truck before I went into shock and passed out.... I was out of it.... I spent half the day in the ER.....

So dont ever hold that small little part in your hand while you drill it... I have done it many times before..... but it finally caught up with me.

:eek: Hard way to learn a lesson Mike, but at least it wasn't any worse... and after 35+ years in machine shops, I have seen a lot worse from similar incidents.
Have a speedy, low pain recovery, buddy!
And next time, mail that shit over here.... let the bald guy do it!:D

Thanks Guys.... I know I got off lucky.

My wife kind of freaked when she saw the bone sticking out of my finger. Luckily it did not damage the bone. Otherwise I would of needed surgery. My dad got the tip of my finger and took it to the hospital but they said they could not sew it back on..... oh well. Pops is calling me Stubby now...LOL.

I knew better. The good thing is that I taught my kids a lesson. I took all 4 boys out to the garage and showed them what I did. Then I showed them the correct way to do it.... Hopefully they learned from my mistake.

No more pain.... They hit me with 3 painfull shots in my finger..... then lots of Vicodin. I am on a Vicodin high right now. But it hurt like hell earlier.

Thats why I posted. I hope someone can learn from my stupid mistake. It is not fun looseing your finger.

It is a bitch to type with my finger wrapped up.
