Super glue will fix that...

That looks painful, I got away with 30 minutes in Minor injuries and a big dressing after I caught my left middle fingernail on my bandsaw blade

 

[Migmac]

Ouch.

[Chippie]

Bit of insulation tape wroapped round that and it will granulate over.

When I was around 12-13 one of my jobs was chopping kindling. After several weeks I decided to sharpen the axe. I got it razor sharp on the grinder and the very first hit on the wood went through much quicker than I expected so it went straight down my left hand forefinger taking the side off and 1/2 of the nail. So when people say blunt tools are dangerous I never believe them.

I am sure John could knock this up in an hour..saves the fingers.

Pardon our interruption...

 

[Hotstuff]

ooh Nasty…..when you said axe though I did expect to see far worse but glad it wasn’t.

I hope you have a full and speedy recovery.

Former son-in-law, cook by profession. He cut his finger well, because he likes to sharpen knives on Japanese stones. Gave him magic powder for wounds, as promised, the blood clotted in 60 seconds. The guy was going to go stitch it up, holding his hand in a bag, because the blood was flowing through the bandages without stopping. I remembered that I gave him a teaspoon (by volume) of powder just in case. It came in handy. Hemostatic is a necessary thing in a self-help kit.

Clumsy B'stard....

Chopping kindling, unlike my mum as a kid, I chicken out and a pair of waterpump pliers hold the last bit to be split in two . . .

Floor boards by any chance ?

I’ve always just put a cigarette paper on it with pressure it dries / seals the wound and when you arrive at the hospital it washes away during cleaning.
