Probably the same reason after all these years of using tools I stuck
my thumb in a table saw a little over a month ago. Up 16 hours,
something on his mind, decision making capabilities gone out the
window.

BTW, the thumb is healing nicely but the thumb print will never be the
same and being "just a tad sensitive" I seem to keep poking things
with it.

BT,DT!

Might I suggest the most basic safety practice; keep the blade no higher
than necessary to cut the wood.

Also, there is a rule that says once you hit your finger with a hammer, or
cut it with a saw, you WILL hit it on everything nearby, as often as is
possible. Seen it many times. DONE it many times! g
