8 fingers plus 2 thumbs. Still all there; however, not too straight!
Got all ten but I shaved a little off my left thumb on a buzzer and cut a little off my right thumb on a table saw when a piece of Red gum unexpectedly fell apart.
Nothing serious but both had to be bandaged for a fair while
All of them.....so far.tomorrow at the TS could change all that.
Daughter is safe with forefinger generally implanted up right nostril :(
Technically ten but two are 5mm shorter than should be. When I first started working in the family business I tried to cut corners one day and didn,t put the guard back on the TS. I have tried to remember (ha,ha) but I still could not tell you exactly what happened. Grooved thumb and pointer on LH through the bone and when they were stitched up the doc just pushed the remaining bits together.
Yup, Im a "pedant", 8 + 2 here.
I have some wicked scars too, some from chisels, none from machinery and a few more from playing with swords.
J!
Yours or hers??Quote:

My kids know well and truly not to come in the shed unless I say so and don't touch anything without asking first

I Still have all mine 8 that is but as a marine engineer knew a few with less most common was for people to put thier fingers under diesel fuel injectors to see if they were operating when testing , they inject oil into your finger tips and there is usually no saving them
My father an old time carpenter did loose a bit of skin when he used an electric plane for the first time felt underneath to check the cut depht before the blades had stopped
11? :confused:
Number 11 is what......................no, I won't, it's Sunday, I shall keep it clean.

From my early forestry days, using chainsaws with no PPE, I have a couple of big scars on my knees. Big suckers they are, didn't feel it, but felt sh@##t house when I seen the damage!
