Uncle Punk Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 I smashed my finger at work Friday and it looks like I might be done riding the rest of this season. I haven't rode since August 31st anyway and am thinking of letting my bike go to get another one in the spring. I find out Wednesday if I need surgery, since the bones are in about a dozen pieces.could be the drugs talking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Punk Posted September 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Long story but Todd had it right I had it where it wasn’t supposed to be. I got it caught in a tool changer on a machining center. The damn thing had me trapped for a while before I remembered I had my cell phone with me. The guys I called to help get me out of the machine did a great job and are still picking steel chips out of their bodies. We tried to pry my finger loose but when the pry bar slipped the tool changer arm would clamp down on my finger again. We finally had to take the machine apart to get me free of it after I had to tell them where to find the tools in my shop to take it apart. Damn it seemed like it took forever.

Uncle Punk Posted September 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 I am insured and running this through worker comp but our squads are volunteer and would have taken too long. The guys I called rent the other half of our building plus they weren't going to destroy the machine getting me out. I still need to use it to get this job out on time. I am done working in the shop for a while though which is no big deal right now I need to design our next job so I will be on the computer for a while.

Bad enough you smashed the hell out of it, but to be stuck for a while before you could get out makes it worse. Did you think you'd lose your finger while you waited?
