[QUOTE 1806914, member: 9609"]Loved the scooter / playpark merry-go-round set up at 6:42
After my calamity today I enjoyed watching the vid, good to know there are people more stupid than myself.
As for my idiotic accident today, I've tried to explain it with a few picture
1. I have been doing this for years and have always thought it a bit risky, instead of marking the wood with a pencil I lay the ruler ontop of the wood to align it within the saw, when in correct position I remove ruler and cut wood
Unfortunately today I forgot to remove the ruler, huge flash of sparks, couldn't think what on earth had happened, then found smashed up ruler, one peice about 10' away
Then I noticed my thumb
Worst thing was I had to get the job finished and the blood was becoming a bit of a nusiance, put on a rubber washing up glove and gaffer taped it round my wrist, when I took it off an hour later it was full of blood, I nearly passed out, it looked so bad I thought my thumb had come off, after cleaning it up under the tap its not that bad, but still bleding a bit 8 hours on.
