And keep your fingers out of the way!

My intro to leather, I nearly lost the tips of my fingers. My fingers were just over the edge of the ruler when cutting ...and ...OOPS!!!  The tips of my fingers were nice and straight though

Knew a guy that got a short finger from cutting, we called him Nubby.

Several years ago, when I was still building houses, one of the local carpenters was cutting metal roofing through his table saw.  It kicked back and took several of his digits. We call him Fingers.

I once worked with a chap who had lost 3 fingers on each hand. We called him Kevin

I worked at a newspaper in my younger days. Out he back collecting supplies, someone yelled out

" quick, get an ambulance !!"  I turned around and  saw a bloke with two of his fingers hanging down on a few bit s of skin. He got  his hand caught in a guillotine .  He lost his fingers. 

I nearly threw up and almost passed out...I wasn't feeling very well
