That looks a whole lot better than the 3 stitches I got in my left thumb at Urgent Care last fall. Of course, I was flopping my hand all over the place each time she shot me with the needle. It was 6 or 7 times so I think I had convinced her that I was not into pain. What type of needle did you use for the sutures?
A few more tidbits. 66% of users who contacted the blade had their hands behind the blade. I also saw that only 2.6% of users with a table saw injury were ill, or using any medication, pot or alcohol. Almost 60% of the saws used a blade directly attached to the motor (lower cost saws?). 13% were not using any protective equipment.
All in all, I think there are a lot good safety lessons in the report.

Rustic? Well, no. That was not my intention!
