Cut myself with a chainsaw......wanna see

[_CY_]

unloaded a trailer full of oak today, then cut down to size.
wood is my main heat source. sure I've got a natural gas heater. but it's only used as a reserve.

used a Stihl 026 for smaller wood, 046 for the medium sized oak.

pulled on my 10ply chaps, eye protection and ear muffs ... feel really funny running a saw without my chaps and Kevlar gloves.

Again, I certainly hope you are healing well.
I was going through some pictures from a relief trip to the Houston area after Hurricane Ike and came across one you might find interesting...

my grandpa has a tree in his yard with a sickle blade through it, pretty much like what the grim reaper carries in illustrations

This held a swing at some point, the chains are still attached.

That is a nasty cut, I used a chainsaw quite a bit never have cut my self. Hope I can keep it that away.

I watched a good friend remove four fingers with a chainsaw once. Glad to see you faired better than him.

it caught my glove and drug my left index finger in between the guard and the disc. QUOTE]

Never, ever wear gloves around any rotating equipment. this is the classic example why.
