I hope you've kept it.
You could build your own wasp factory around that.
Keep the kids entertained all summer long.
you could have bumped the price up a bit Jamie!
Having seen what was left behind, and the manner in which the tip was amputated, I assumed it wasnt worth ferreting around in the oily chain for mangled spare parts, especially while I was applying C&E to my stump and gently asking mrs Stoner, in a calm and measured manner, if she wouldnt mind running me into Worcester A&E if she had a moment to spare...
Sorry for asking a stupid Q, but I've read this thread and no idea what you actually did to lose your finer end unless i've missed it. Finger in disk?
You'll be wanting a prosthetic for the chainsaw, they really aren't left handed and none of the manufacturers caters for wrong handers.
Bit of alkythene pipe gaffer taped on the stump should do the job.
I didn't look - thanks for not posting 😯
Ouch. Nicely done. My brother did something similar about 40 years ago when he was out ploughing. Tractor was playing up and he went around poking various bits and it somehow started up when his finger was on the fan belt. Almost identical cut to yours. I can still see the stump in a paper tissue my dad bought home "in case they could sew it back on" 🙂
On the plus side you will be able to do a great party trick by making it look like you are picking your nose really really deeply
You are going to preserve it I assume.

What a conversation piece.
But seriously healing vibes.....
Okay, I've skim-read this thread a number of times and I can't find the culprit named anywhere.
Wot done it, guv'na...?

Thanks. Great summary.
Bugger again.
I've just checked my health and life insurance and it turns out I needed to have lost both hands in one go to qualify for a new bike 🙁
I'd better make a decent job of it next time.
That picture is ok. I've got a sequence of Tim K's finger healing that I use in lectures about root fillings.
hah! I remember TimK's fingers! How long ago was that?
2007? It features in a 2008 PowerPoint - I've just checked!
His was good, yours is better 🙂
I could take pics if you like 🙂
Oops, oiling chain with engine running?
Great picture from your bro! Thought he might have popped it in a little jar of grim for you for bragging rights
Yes please 🙂
His showed how the body naturally protects connective tissue and bone by growing epithelium over it. I suspect your's might already be closed. You've probably got my email from one of Brant's......
Have you had a peek under the bandages yet?
Any photos of a comedically large finger bandage we can laugh at?
I darent open up as there is no way Im as clean as the op theatre 🙂
I have to drop into the clinic in France in a week's time to check there's no infection etc.
paul - do you have the battlecat?
Anyway, I'm afraid they've covered all the goodies and closed the stump.
No, I've got the reiver. Hang on, I reckon I can mail you. Always keen to see photos 😉
You're an idiot.
Hope it gets better soon 😀

He's been an idiot for years. It shows no sign of improvement.

Welcome to the club.

I always like being in good company.
Chapeau well played. I removed 2 and a bit from R hand when I was flattening skis in NZ and the stone exploded dragging my hand in. Put them back on and 21 years later (Jesus I am old) it mostly works. So well done, you win.
@ kayak23 - same as the chef in my school. He lost his during the Falklands war.
That's right - lopped it off in a field kitchen....
I found out how my colleague's dad shot off his index and middle finger
50 yrs ago he was walking with his pregnant wife and carrying his hammer-lock shotgun. To free his hands in order to help her over a stone wall he put the gun down by holding it by the muzzle and leaning over the wall to place it down. Hammerlock's are tetchy beasts at the best of time, but placing it down on its butt and against the stone wall was enough to...
...Kablooooie!: The butcher of Wigtown was now short of a few joints of meat.
NZCol - it doesnt count if you stick'em back on again. Sheesh! 😉
That would make the most excellent valve cover 8)
Preserve it in PEG, then hollow out and glue in a cover off a spare innertube.
Stoner, you utter fsckwit.
Glad you are ok and all that, but you really are stupid for doing that. Have you learned?
Learnt what?
Stoner, [url= http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/my-dl-1000-took-my-hand-off-tried-to.1131836/ ]could have been worse[/url]
ooof. (*jambalaya, do not click on Craig's link 🙂 )
Could have been worse indeed. I take my episode as a little nip of a reminded not to be so dumb ever again.
Learned not to do silly things with motorcycle chains.
Mind you, I did something similar (but not as bad) with a cleaver when I was younger, so I should not be to harsh on you.
ooof. (*jambalaya, do not click on Craig's link )
Hmm. Sounds bad....

Nah, it'll be fine.
Have you managed to succesfully adapt your nose picking technique succesfully yet?
Just seen the pic (as couldn't view that on the tablet) and surely duck tape would have sorted that? My sympathies to you although I'm personally disappointed as you [s]are[/s] were one of my DIY heroes on here. You're definitely more gnarly now but I'm a less blood/all my digits type of bloke. Shame you're not a Moon Jelly as they have a solution...
Hope it heals well.
I always like being in good company.
The Yakuza will be sending you their welcome pack and an orientation video.
The video is in MPG format and is posted out on this novel thumb drive

StonerWill have to swap to shooting left handed bow.
No you don't! Just shoot a compound 😉
Hope the recovery is speedy.
Thumbring for you.
Get well soon.
Ps on my next shoot, i'm try some differing loose types.
Healing nicely. Changed the dressing today. Looking good. Jambalaya, do NOT look at the link

No risk there at all !
Seems ripe for a pen prosthetic. Or maybe the business end of a Ritchey Torque Key?
Inspector Gadget?
