last fall in HS metal shop I was grinding welds on an aluminum part I was fabricating with an toothed air powerd grinder called "the ninja saw," without gloves ,and once I was done grinding, I went to set the grinder down with out looking and before it had stopped spinning I set it on my lef index finger and cut from the tip to the second nuckle (halfway up my finger), through my tenden and nail bed. This happened at 9:30 AM and I didnt have surgery until 7:00 PM that night. I passed out twice that day from shock. After surgery I spent six weeks with a stainless steel pin in my finger so that my tenden would regrow properly.
today I have a pretty nice scar up my finger and I have two little finger nails, but I still have complete use of my finger.
