2 second project gone very wrong

[Cowboy]

short version, never try to stretch a sharp metal ductwork band down with both hands while standing on a unstable stack of 2 by 4 s when you are home by yourself.

i did over the weekend and just now able to type using one finger on my left hand . talk about a stupid sumbitch, that would be me .

 

[JEV]

I have no room to criticize your stupidity. I learned my lessons the hard way with sheet metal and climbing on shit that was not meant to climb on. How old did you say you are???? And you ain't learned YET? Hope you heal quickly and completely.

That sucks Cowboy,how bad are the hands?

 

[Cowboy]

thanks guys , im really pissed at myself cuz i never ever take chances like this at least when i,m alone . jurys still out on how bad they are its perty hard to docter yourself up when you screwed up both at the same time .

on the good side i managed to break the strap so at least i wasn,t still hanging there when my wife got home and tied off both arms . scairt the hell out of both of us but not much else to do but laugh about it now .

 

[Doc]

Good to see you back. I missed your avatar.
Get better soon.

Cowboy , glad to hear your healing. I've done my share of those things, but lately i have started thinking- if something goes wrong before i do this what am I going to do. Sometimes I cause myself alot more work, but working safer has it's benefits

It's not going to make you feel any better, or help your hands heal any faster, but don't feel like the Lone Ranger. There must be a least a couple of folks out there who have never had any problems like this, because over the years I've done enough dumbshit things for at least two people!

 

[ki0ho]

cow boy hope ya heal fast....any more I try to remind my self each morning that it is one hour to the hospital........before I start anything.....the other morning a grandson ask me what I was talking about.....I just said....it takes at least one hour to get to a hosrital fron here........how long can you bleed?? Think maby from the look on his face he got the point....noticed him being real careful with the lathe that morning!!!!

 

[tsaw]

Amen to that brother. Cowboy, you're not alone and I've got the scars to prove it. Hope you heal fast.

thanks again fellers ever since my dad passed away i,ve allways heard this lil voice in my head before i do anything that might get me in trouble with his famous words of wisdom . be carefull dumbass .

he musta been on break when i did this .

worst thing is i need to pull the pump out of my plugged cased well and put down a new casing for our new garden, as most of ya know that aint no easy task with 2 good hands.

I had a similar momentary lapse of judgement 2 days ago..got my finger caught between a bandsaw blade and the large drive wheel. Probably wouldn't have been so bad, except for that natural reaction to jerk your hand out
lol, managed to pull half my fingernail out--from the back(quick)
