Yeah Leaycraft, they gave me a shot of antibiotics at the ER, but then gave me no other antibiotics to take, I am goig to call them Monday to find out if I should be taking some. My neighbor said he had to take them for 3 weeks when he got his with the lawnmower.

Thanks for posting this, it remains as a warning for all of us.
I actually try to avoid table saw as much as possible - it is really one single machine that has all the worst things safety-wise combined.
 
KD5NRH I'm with ya, but I guess this one just had to be! How long hae you lived in Stephenville? I went to Tarleton there back in 96-98. Pretty country down there, last time I was through there though it had grown leaps and bounds!

I grew up here, but spent roughly 96-2004 in Dallas. The place has definitely grown, but I like the combination of having a good selection of stores 5 minutes one way, and open fields 5 minutes the other way from my driveway.

If I ever get around to buying a chainsaw, I can really take advantage of the local resources; more free mesquite (sometimes better than free; some people will pay you to take it) than I could ever hope to use, and the occasional free bois d'arc, oak, mulberry, or walnut tree that needs to be removed. I could probably finance all the woodturning toys I could ever want by selling all the extra blanks on here, and there's enough standing dead wood that doesn't even need to be cured to keep me busy while the green stuff dries.
 
You are absolutely right, plenty of blanks down in that neck of the woods. My parents still live in Weatherford, and they are saving me some wood from the big snow storm this year. Too bad those thorns on Mesquite trees don't hold alot of weight from snow or I'd have some of it piled up too!

I'd hate to see the amount of snow it would take to break a mesquite limb. My usual method of pruning them when I'm not blank-hunting involves a shotgun.

Just noticed mom's pecan orchard seems to have self-pruned a lot lately too. I may break down and get that chainsaw this week.
 
Did the same thing to my left hand about 20 years ago. My daughter tells me I can give thumbs up to those who do nor deserve the very best.

It will take time to heal. Good luck
