What does your day look like?

I won't forget that sound...

I'll raise you a Makita Power Plane that my dad managed to run over his finger one time. My dad has run most tools over part of his body, mostly the fingers, but he still has them all amazingly.

I have a Triton that came with the router attachment should I ever want to go there.

 

[yuley95]

yes

Semi-related but I've been flying Rex a bit recently and can recommend. Got upgraded to exit row every flight and they've always left / arrived on time.

My work booked me on a Rex flight a little while back and I thought ‘you cheap bastards’. It ended up being way better than any recent Qantas flight.

Mitsubishis are not great so better off with a known power tool brand.

This will come as somewhat of a surprise but I have been mowing of the grass. I usually use the tractor under the trees because it has a canopy and the sticks and insects and wasps generally are deflected away from the person cowering underneath. Anyway yesterday I was finishing off the mow under the grove and there was the usual click click type noises of broken sticks falling on the bonnet and canopy then there was a duller thud on the footplate betwixt my legs. Ah the very much disgruntled tree snake. I stopped the deck and a metre of dark green tree snake slithered off onto the ground.

I’ve got most of mine. Woodwork tools bite hard.

I have an index finger similar (but milder) to @Jpez from a meat slicer. It isn't as dramatic a chunk, more a nearly rounded off tip where as the left is kind of square.

I have a smaller version of that right on the tip, index finger thru a HG40 on an Alivio Compact Drive in the mid 90's. Tried to un jam my chain while still standing over the bike with the left foot clipped in, over balanced and chop!

 

[Haakon]

Show us your mangled bits!

Mine was from a bicycle - jammed in the chainring, cog through the nail bed and chain locking it on across the back. Nicely squished finger…

Looks like callus free, soft government pen-pushing pinkies to me

 

[slowmick]

ooh ooh - I've got office hands like Haakon. I crushed the circled finger in primary school. 40+ years later if I do a good day of manual labour the finger tip splits again.

Table saw for me. Well actually a tablesaw/planer combo machine. Was ripping and didn’t notice that my finger was pushing the cover plate on the planer open. Bad design.
My finger dropped in and it took a few thucka thuckas before my brain registered that my finger was being planed.
That hurt. Hurt a lot. Best one though was when I shot s 3inch gun nail straight through the meat of my thumb. I hit a knot doing a skew nail and zing. Off it goes. It wasn’t hanging out of my eyeball or anything so reset again to finish the shot when I felt pain in my thumb. Oh. That’s where it went.
Luckily it missed bone as I was able to pull it straight out.

You must know we all picture you in a Homer Simpson-esque power station console pushing buttons all day?

We are meant to share Unit Controller (homers job) and Assistant UC duties equally. Luckily some prefer to spend as much time on their ass, expelling as little energy as possible, so I get to do the 'outside' position more often. Isolating plant, swinging large valves, hanging earths, HV switching operations etc... and normally covering 5-10km per shift getting around.

Still got the tradie hands but without any bits missing

 

[pink poodle]

Pffft...I've got more calluses than that and don't really do any manual handling ...

You'd like that...will have to find some glaze.

Both hands, not just the callused right

Simpsons had a 3 eyed fish. @ozzybmx must be the 3 handed man to take this photo.
Time to start some conspiracies about hidden nuclear plants
