OOOPS!!!

Harry Bylsma has 7 stitches in his thumb for a careless act on his table saw. Harry admits he was hurrying and is a lucky man he only got 7 stitches. Just "shows to go ya'" if this can happen to an experienced woodworker, it can happen to any body!!!!! We should NEVER be in a hurry in our shops or around ANY tool--that's when IT happens!! Happy healing Harry!
