As a junior journalist pictures paints a 1,000 words Moog and this thread is a warning to others to not make the same mistake I did.

I fucked Up.............paid the fee too the experts to save my arm and that is the end of the story.

You may add whatever you like to make it more colourful or contrived but that is up to you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, crack on..................

I suspected it might be for the story !

Well done. I approve of that kind of (war correspondent-style) commitment !

Just hope you checked your undercarriage before grabbing the camera.

I'm still waiting for the gruesome pics. I can't be the only one can I?

Your a sadistic spirit no doubt.

Tomorrow the bandages come off and I will exhibit to one and all what can happen to one when they make the wrong decision about the tools they use.

What the fuck are you on about now Moog?

I fucked up using an improper tool to do a job and was extremely lucky to get away with the injuries I did.

Meaning....you took the photos to illustrate the story, not for an insurance claim.

Which is good. A photo llustrates it so much more vividly than a description can.

Fixed that for you. Sorry.

Something's not right with your noggin either.

Usually you'd have a prototype plastic guard made up and sold to China by now.

I don't know about that, Moog.

It all depends on use of imagery, metaphor, simile, hyperbole and rhythm which if combined nicely can paint a scene much better than a photograph which might not come out too well and if taken from an unusual angle ( excuse the pun ) may alter perspective so much so that it obscures rather than illustrates.

It's not that simple is all I'm saying.

O.k, I'm ready for pics. I had just ordered lunch when I made my first comment but I think my stomach is prepared now.

sucks but the title of the thread is funny. no time to read it yet. Ive hit my hand on a grinder before

No, that was your cock you chopped off so you could be a proper ladyboy and get bummed by hairy, pot-bellied Germans.

You sound like an expert.

I was with LT earlier, fuck all wrong with his drinking arm.

Nothing to see here, move along now........

With you all the way mate ,,, I quite like a bit of DIY myself .

After looking at your equipment I do hope your not into orthopaedic surgery as my left hip has been giving me gip lately

^ Bloody hell OO ,, you training to be a marriage guidance councillor mate ??

If so and theres a uniform involved can we see the pics ?

From a different thread a few days ago:

Just have to make sure they have plastic knives in convenience stores from now on.

Oh, the irony.

I am sure LT thanked the doctors and nurses at the hospital for patching him up.

Sometimes people forget about those closest to them and need a nudge to show their appreciation.
Which is usually reciprocated in spades

It never does any harm to remind people.

About 20 years ago I decided to remove the guard off a 9' grinder so I could fit on a 12' blade. I was lucky and the hospital was great.

Lesson learnt.

I have seen people use those saw blades on grinders and have never considered using one, shit, you are very brave, they terrify me

get well soon

Well Loy Toy...great that you have escaped with your jewels in tact, but effectively being "one armed"you will just have to lay on your back with a useless arm for the next month or so.......and let others do all the work!

I think you have now qualified as a "full on Thai tradesman".......I have watched them working building my house. I have tried to force them to use safety guards, the correct tools, safety glasses cutting ceramic tiles, and welding goggles when welding...even threatened to sack them....but they all seem to have the Aussie "I'm bulletproof" Macho mentality.

Your scars will be nearly as good as mine .....from doing just as stupid things...but for a longer period......This is the point where you will re-assess your methods, and the scars will decline!!! You have survived the test!!!

I worked with big chain saws and big grinders for many years and it was the grinder that I was most respectful of. In the end it was the saw that got me, nearly lost a finger and to this day I don't know how it happened.

Thank God it wasn't your wanking arm....

Get Well Soon LT.

On a nicer note can I just say that in what is quite a dangerous environment our company has just completed 20 million manhours without a Lost Time Incident.

We work very hard in the field to educate the staff on what happens if you don't follow the correct procedures and use the right tools.

LT would you mind if I used this incident as a safety presentation I have to do at the end of the month (with pics)?

No names will be used.

Good tip. I always text a GF when going up on the roof or inside a tank or cutting a big tree. I tell her if she doesn't get another text within an hour saying I'm done she has to call the emergency services.
