Just wanted to warn you to be careful around mandoline slicers 
I guess work is going to be extra slow for the next week or two

Have no fear, itāll heal upā¦ I sliced the end of my finger clean off, bone, fingernail and all with a meat slicer 40 years ago, you can still see the scar running top to bottom on my index finger, it grew back nicely.

Youāll be good. Iāve done that with a router, saw and I donāt know how many times with a knife in the last 40 years (just last week with an xacto). Makes playing my bass tough. We put up a dry erase board to count the number of times we wack those wounds accidentally on something. At the end of the year the winner getās a t-shirt.

Ouch! Just thinking about it makes me wince. I havenāt done that yet when using my mandolin slicer, knock on wood, but I usually cut my finger while cleaning it.

The Meat slicer reference made my malebits draw up into my abdomen. I have made many a commercial sandwich and early I got the best advice from a Chef/Owner while witnessing me trying to save the company money ā¦he said, āDonāt go for those last couple slices, as they may be your ownā
Rest up @daath! ā¦wincing waaay down low

It was so sharp, it didnāt really feel like anything. The second it happened, though, I thought, āFuck, Iām stupidā 
Oh well, shit happens. Itās just gonna be really inconvenient to work

Welcome to the club! Iāve gotten myself 3 or 4 times with our mandolin slicer-It sucks! One thing I have noticed is that cuts from very sharp implements tend to heal much quicker than from dull blades. Silver linings are where you find them, I guessā¦
Hereās to a quick recovery!

many companies make a product called a food processor. pretty neat gadget for slicing things. its also fairly safe in that one would have to be somewhat ingenious to ever get fingers into the cutting area

Since the finger has been cut, he can always stick it in cider. Should feel better in no time.

@daath Just wanted to check back and see if you wanted to post a picture with the bandaid off so we can see your finger all healed up? And maybe a picture of the mandoline slicer so we can check to be sure you werenāt too hard on it? Itās been over a month now, hows it going friend?
