Not woodworking this time BUT "power tools" for sure.:rolleyes:
We had just had a discussion re: drill bit grabbing and knocking you off the ladder.
I was working on modifying my fel with a 'scoop". (That's a front end loader on my little tractor)

Need couple of 7/8" holes.
My left hand knew what my right hand was doing but did not say anything. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Get the "new" pistol grip drill, do not attach the side handle. Drill 1/4 pilot, enlarge one size, then to the finish size. Oops grab and twist out of my hand.

OK just a little more and hole is done. Grip tighter and pull the trigger WOW that smarts.
Oh well NEXT time I'll get the "T" handle SLOW speed drill and save some time and pain.

Sorry to see that......:mad:

It is good that it was a clean break so it will heal faster and better.

Ouch! The x-ray looks exactly like a toe I broke by stubbing it.

Speedy recovery, Norris -

Mike & Bill ;
Thanks for the reply.
I posted as a "warning" to others, but a little sympathy never hurts.
