I noticed that the little wire wheel that knocks the swarf off the big bandsaw blade wasn't going round, tried to give it a flick and got sucked in to the machinery.

Saw the plastic surgeon today, he spent 20 minutes removing the swarf, popped what was left of the nail off and then stitched it back together right as dodgers. Looks a lot better now the gore has gone.

I may yet lose the tip but the worry is I nicked the end off the bone which may become infected. The most amazing thing though is, so far, the only painful bit has been the Lignocaine injections :heehee:
