:-[ After a nice dry morning planting 60 shrubs followed by covering of woodchips, the rain came. Hasn't let up since 11am. .

During the afternoon I stuck my right nose picking finger in the oscilating blades of a hedgetrimmer :-[

Forgive my ignorance tris but what is a nose picking finger?  ???

My index finger, on my right hand. Missed the handle on the Echo hedgetrimmer when trimming the side of a hedge and caught in the blade which is similar in working to combine cutter bar or sickle bar mower. Luckily I wasn't fully revving but I was awfully close to losing the finger. Tracis Dad is a trained first aider and patched me up a treat but it isn't pretty, nasty slice job.

Ah yes gotta be careful with them reciprocating blades. (When you said nose picking finger I thought it was some sort of back hoe implement, I've been caught out here before :-[)

Tris!!!!!!!    Whatever next?  What with dropping hammers etc on your foot and now trying to amputate a finger you really should wear armour when handling tools - steel gauntlets and footwear at least.

Hope the finger gets better soon

Yeah especially this hand, I've crushed the end of the same finger and split the middle finger from top to bottom while lowering the hieght wheels on a McConnel topper. More recently, dropped log on the thumb ::) Now this. I am at work doing my best one handed, been raking/seeding grass at same housing project as yesterday. This afternoon, ride on mower so should be ok. What a prat though!

Tris, I do believe you are an accident waiting to happen!  At least you are the object of your accidents unlike a friend of mine whose accidents tend to happen to innocent bystanders! ::)

You MUST take more care though we can't have you ending up armless!
