    Friday the 13th bad luck? No, Just being careless. *Pics*

    Well, I got careless with the framing pistola yesterday. That is a ring shank clavo, tres pulgadas.

    Through the index finger and into the middle finger.

    That's what I get for using my left hand. I can't do anything lefty.

    30 minutes earlier one of the framers asked us if we had a first aid kit(we are homebuilders and we were building a deck next door on a spec house). Seems one of the framers shot himself in the wrist. Nail bounced out and he didn't hit an artery.

    Over the years I have been hit with a framing gun(x2), finish nailer(nail hit something and turns 180 degrees), brad nailer and a few times with a hanger nailer(bounce outs).

    If yer gonna be dumb ya gotta be tough...

    Nice one! I’ve put a ring shank in my knee before, so I feel your pain! Hope you heal up quickly!

        I had just bought those gloves too. Luckily they were Harbor Freight cheapies.

                Looks like ya got it plugged with a patch too, to minimize the bleeding.
                And better than cutting your first 3 fingers half off.


                Did ya hit bone?

                    Got lucky, slid down beside the bone. It looked to me like it went right through the bone. I was dreading that.

                    The PA ended up just pulling it out.

                    The worst part of the deal were all the shots. The shots to the finger weren't bad. The two in the shoulder hurt as bad as any I've ever had. The shot in the hip hurt worse than the nail in the finger.

                      I did feel better when I pulled up to the emergency room in Athens(home of the GA Bulldogs) and there was a truck with a Georgia Tech tag parked in the Doctor's parking.
