Having sold powered woodworking machinery for years I had seen many injuries and you could start to see how many had happen but this one was unclear because the fingers around three and four remained. He went on to explain how he lost his fingers on the right hand making an unusual cut on the saw. Both hands were bandaged and the left hand was clearly more recently wrapped. I asked how he did the left hand and he went on to tell me how he had a few friends over a couple of days later and was explaining how the original accident happened and, well you can guess the rest of the story.
