They aren't kidding when they tell you to adjust the blade guide to only a quarter inch above the work piece so you can't cut an appendage off.

He'd be several cuts past the mistake before he missed that thumb.

His thumb would be wrapped and shipped by then.

Alton Brown would be doing a special on cooking the thumb by then.

Thumb removal would have become popular with everyone's parents by then, while all the kids would have already moved on to the latest trend of waxed butt moustaches.

Salvation Armys across the nation would be full up with thumbs by then, waiting for a surge from ironic hipsters.

You'll be able to buy over the counter thumb removal CRISPR technology at gas stations and mini marts next to the no-doz, butt mustache wax, and condoms.

Now back to the fantastic build.

I mean, who woulda thunk we coulda got this much levity out of a simple thumb comment.

You guys rock.

Nah. No worries. Have fun in the thread. I'll get it back on the track when I am ready. I enjoyed showing the meat video to my kids.

Fuck that shit, it's thumb jokes until he gets his lazy ass down to the shop and starts building that cover that he is avoiding.

There is a saying about procrastination. One day I'll look it up.

I heard a rumor that foot3 is super clumsy. He's all thumbs.
