I don't have the photo yet, but it won't be long. Just a word of warning. I put the piece of wood too close to the chuck and almost lost my thumb! I will probably loose my nail. You know you are a wood turner after a chuck tries to take you thumb off, the first thing you yell is I hope the blood didn't get on the piece! Then the pain comes. Alice

We All learn 'eventualy' My recent Learning experience was to polish a piece of wood on the lathe(spinning) with a cloth wrapped round my index finger.The clothe caught on the chuch and pulled my finger in and twisted it in every direction. Finger is now permenantly bent and painfull to the touch. This happened about two months ago.

Hey ho.. At least its still attached(if a funny shape)

Crazy Bear,
That is why I always use Bounty paper towels for polishing. They just rip away.
Thanks for the well wishes everyone! I am working on several necklaces, so when I get all of the polishing done I'll post a photo, of the necklaces, not my thumb!
Really sorry to hear about your finger! What did the doctor say? Is is broken or sprained? Sometimes a sprain takes a lot longer to stop hurting.

I am eager to see your necklaces after having seen other pieces that you have posted here on IAP. Hope your thumb is healing and the pain is lessening with each day.

Hi Elody

Doc reckons I have mangled the tendons and it could take about 6 months to settle down.

Never mind, as I said. Its still attached and works, Kinda.

It will match the busted thumb on the same hand LOL
