1071 forum posts	I wore gloves at the tablesaw. I was tired and did not bother to remove the gloves. The saw blade caught the glove and pulled my hand in. No feeling in the tip of my left thumb, index finger is permanently bent at a right angle and has no feeling in the tip. Middle finger is gone. all from wearing gloves when I knew I should not. No gloves around moving machinery, ever. Going in the shop fatigued is probably as bad as going in drunk. Maybe it is worse. If you had a few you are most likely to realize you are impaired. Fatigue sneaks up on you and you may not realize just how much you are impaired. Sure miss the middle finger when I am driving.

2805 forum posts 219 photos	John Reese: Very sorry to hear about your accident; the price of being able to count to ten is eternal vigilance. I remember a show demonstration involving a sausage brought into contact with a moving circular saw blade which stopped in time to avoid serious injury to the sausage. Being unable to make offensive gestures at the wheel is not so bad!
