Interesting, I've never heard of a featherboard but it would help with what I cut, which is 5" long blocks into 3/8" wide handle material.
Today is the last day with the splint! As of tomorrow I can use it normally, but it won't bend and it's still crooked as the tendon did not grow back. Still I plan to ride my Valk and get back to knifemaking!
For what you are doing a featherboard is a must, even then you need to be careful of kickbacks. However, at least if it happens you'll just end up with a piece of wood in your face or chest, certainly better than loosing body parts. A crooked finger has it's place
Damn, man. I really hope that you get full function back eventually. I am thankful that you are well, though.
OUCH.... I mean DAMN...... glad it has healed up now mate.....hope you get the full use of both finger and thumb back ...!!! Please take care. Andy
i have been making cabinets for 27 years please only make push sticks out of plywood they dont kick back
Best wishes Wow going back and looking at the original pics still freaks me out. Glad to see this part will be over and you can move forward. Best of luck to you.
Dangerous tools: Table saw Router Buffer Disk Sander Belt Sander Bandsaw Circular saw Miter Saw Bench Grinder Drill press How would you place them in order from most dangerous to least? The above is my take.
