I Cut My Finger Off - UPDATE 

Sounds like a solid plan, i got addicted to the channel originally because of all the little tricks and jigs used when making things. Its something a 'DIY' woodworker would never really learn unless they had a cabinet maker or joiner mate looking over their shoulder and suggesting better ways to do things. As long as those things continue in the videos, im sure it will be successful.

A suggestion: If you are doing how-to videos make them doable by the average amature. I hate videos that are like how to make a box... with a cnc router, cnc laser etc. Normal folks dont have that stuff. This is one of my favorite channels

Good luck with everything and with the different paths. Excited to see your new content. How to, show cases, i enjoy your style. Best of luck on your business!

Good on ya mate I’ll sub to the other channel and head over to the website. We need more aussies like you who are working at keeping this industry alive here in Aus.

Never work tired or distracted . . . timeless advice . . . cheers.

I love you channel. DON’T apologize for engaging in marketing your business. It’s the RIGHT thing to do! This may surprise you but your success is important to the rest of us who enjoy and learn from the content you put here

Yes! Love how to's awesome news, glad you're back and better than every

Sorry to hear about your finger. Great to hear all the good news that you have going on. I look forward to future videos. Don't apologize for trying to further your business. Gary

Don't be sorry or ashamed.. You gotta make a living. I'm well past the how to. but still enjoy watching. I do like the 'Stance' format. and even though I have been woodworker for longer than you have been around, I still learn and pick up tips. Keep them coming Jordan

I wish you a fast and full recovery

So sorry Jord. However...I liked the how to vids. Glad to see they are coming back.

Full on mate !!! A nail shot into my right hand above the right finger off the table saw that I missed this year...surgery required lucky no damage...make the most of life happens !!

Lots of exciting news! .... Except the finger thing of course.

Well I had the same exact injury a few years ago and I fell for you brother.

Love the idea of you doing more how to videos. Thanks.

Tough lesson to learn with the finger. Best of luck for the future.

I actually thought of you when I was going to go out to my shop the other day but I was so tired I just decided better off on another day no need to get hurt.

I mullered my index finger on my left hand on my chainmortiser I feel your pain. You were lucky as I was to be left with a nearly full length finger.

Ouch Losing a finger always sucks. I always had a reminder to be mindfull of the jointer when I look at my dad's left hand. First knuckle from hand out on the pinky. Little past the second knuckle on his ring finger. And last knuckle on his middle finger are all gone from how he rested his hand and wasn't paying attention as a kid. Said he never felt it until he looked at his hand and realised he took them off.

Welcome to the club.

Doesn't look to bad once healed, Im assuming now it is healed you've got full use and dexterity of the finger back?

I did the same last Thursday. I didn't go to the hospital, though, unfortunately. So now I've got 2 gouges (from the edges of a 1/8" kerf on a table saw), up half of my baby finger's nail. Didn't get to the bone, just about 2-3mm of flesh lost. I was tired. My fault. I feel for ya man!

I do remember your video with Sawstop, you should appreciate that you can use it, in EU we have no such technology certified and have similar injuries also on table saws

Looking forward to the tutorial making a frame and panel door with miter saw and a chisel. Should be a good workout for you swinging the miter saw like a mallet 😀

Before we get started I'd like to take a moment to talk about shop safety. Be sure to read, understand and follow all the safety rules that come with your power tools. Knowing how to use your power tools properly will greatly reduce the risk of personal injury. And remember this. There is no other more important safety rule....than to wear THESE 😎 ... safety glasses... Norm Abram

Backing up to what you were doing IMO is a great idea. The last few months I have lost interest in some of your videos. Wishing you well on recovery. Work safe, keep it real.

I did the same thing on the jointer and same finger.

Looking forward to the new 'How to Vids'.

Sucks about the finger. I cut off the top of my RH middle finger cutting fabric for pin up boards. Lessons learnt, use a metal straight edge not a 16mm MDF one. And use a sharp blade.

Jointers scare the crap out of me, wizzing blades of death and passing my hands over it... shudder!!

You should colab with stumpy nubbs...

How about a Jord's how to style hair channel! Good changes, I think.

I managed to touch the blade on my hand electric planer, tip of the finger was taken off without feeling anything. Then I saw blood on my boards and look at at my finger, blood dripping... Have to pay attention after a while...

Be carefull, man.

Sorry for your finger!

No furniture maker has all his fingers. Nowadays with guards n such there’s less gore and savagery, but it only takes a moment of tiredness or lapse in concentration and chomp. Always remember, you are the softest thing in the shop.

I agree...

Ouch!

To be honest, I stopped watching once the videos became the tedious instructional "Cut the board to 12 3/4 inches..." I'd be way more interested to watch a much less detailed time lapse with a voice over of you talking about making it... Just some constructive feedback, because there was definitely a point at which I started watching your videos less...

Candid open honestly on ewetoob? Who woulda thunk?

I cut my fingers on my table saw. My stupid fault. I didn't replace the guard (Triton table saw) after a cut, plus the blade was getting blunt. I now have a deformed right index finger and destroyed some nerves and ligaments. Now, why do we see you blokes cut timber without having a guard over the blade. Makes me nervous just watching. All the best with your finger, mate.

Bad news about the finger. Just a bit of feed back on the video though, up the audio levels, I had to crank my speakers up just so I could hear you. Also, please work on your audio sync, it is a bit out and it is distracting when you're watching and trying to line the sounds up with lip movements.

OMG

Keep it for people with more skills. " how to pound a nail" channels are a dime a dozen.

Yeah. Back to “how tos”. I kinda stopped watching when you went away from them. Sorry bout the digit. Where’s Ellen?

#sorrynotsorry 😎 👍 👍
