Saw a bloke put BOTH hands into a planner/thicknesser once, stopped him picking hi nose.
I got the job of inspecting it, what a f****** mess. The amazing thing was all the guards and safety devices were ok, but this donut forced his hands under the front guard you could see where the guard had bruised the back of his hands, he'd been doing it for ages.

An apprentice working with me many years ago chopped the tip of his right index finger off on a foot operated guillotine. 3 months off work.
End of the week he is working with me again. Chops the top of his left index finger off on a hand guillotine!
Talk about consistency. The amazing thing was all the guards were in place and correctly fitted. To this day I don't know how he did it!

I was fixing one of those "linear actuators" one day. (A motorised door opener). The gearbox had jammed up because all the grease had dried up. I connected it to a 24v battery and I could see the gears struggling to turn.
So, like a complete numpty, I applied a big dollop of grease with my index finger. That did the trick! My finger was whipped through the gears so quickly I didn't even feel it. Took the fleshy end right off. Amazingly, it grew back. Took about 6 months to grow and three years for the nerves to work again so I could feel things.

Power plane did it for me.
Lunched down the side of my left index finder.
My whole left arm juddered as it went down my finger but I never felt any pain.
Wheres all that blood coming from.
Not too embarrased to say that I nearly fainted.
Flippin hurt later on too.
I'm normally REALLY careful and to this day I don't know how I managed to do it.
