Have one for me Hoppy.   

Hey hoppy,
I hope you're well.
I haven't beeen around here as much lately.
I hadn't seen your post until now.
I hope you're enjoying the vino.

All the best to you and yours

Hi Hoppy,
How are you?
I hope you are still enjoying that French wine?
I am sometimes tempted to have a tipple myself but it really wouldn''t be good for me.
Haven't had a drop for over 16 years, 1 day at a time.
I hope you're keeping well.
I'm busy with a lot of work at the moment so i don't get much of a chance of popping in here.
Taking Batch's D3 regimen every day religiously, as well as Turmeric powder and a good probiotic and that's keping the beast at bay 
I nearly lost the top part of a finger a week ago when I was cutting a small piece of timber with a table saw, the blade went accross the top of the finger near the base of the nail and about half way down. Went to hospital quickly, they were brilliant, was seen instantly, got xray that showed that some of the bone got cut off. had an amazing head nurse do some great work at trying to restore the top of the finger and got some stitches.
I went back to see that nurse yesterday, she had a look at the finger and was amazed at how fast and well the wound is healing. I have a feeling the D3 regimen has something to do with the great healing  .
Thanks Batch for that as well.

All the best to you and yours

Thierry

I'm sorry to hear you got hurt. Being a carpenter,working in a shop, I've seen a lot of table saw injuries. I hope you heal well and are feeling better soon. Remember, only the tooth of the blade should be above the wood you are cutting

Take care of yourself

Hope you didn't ruin the bit of wood you were working on with the blood!

I'm pretty sure that the D3 regime helps with stuff like this from experience.

Golly...I'm sorry for that mishap Thierry. Sounds like you thankfully escaped mostly intact!

Having been around band saws for many years... I recall... with the quivers... searching for sawyers  "lost" parts on several occasions. One time a blade tooth tip caught my thumbnail and threw my hand back and over my head. I'm a seriously "white" dude...expect I was marshmallow white after that......with a new found respect.....................

No worries on wood staining Mike...that friggin D3...well, among all it's other miracles... no stains...see Tom Waits:

It delivers a pizza, and it lengthens, and it strengthens
And it finds that slipper that's been at large
Under the chaise lounge for several weeks

Tired of being the life of the party?

And it walks your dog, and it doubles on sax
Doubles on sax, you can jump back Jack, see you later alligator
See you later alligator

The work we did in the shop was build displays, mostly for the auto shows. I used to travel the US setting up the displays in most of the big cities. One year when the auto shows are over, the season runs from late September to April, we rented out the warehouse to a movie production company and we built the sets. That was very interesting. We even got to watch them film parts of it. The movie was Harold and Kumar Christmas.

I remember my 8th grade shop teacher telling us, do not cut yourself on the table saw because the blood will rust the metal.


Take care

Ilndguy

hi Ilndguy,
the film work is great, never the same thing twice. No monotony there.

Hey Peter, hope you're enjoying the travels.
Are you anywhere warmer and drier than our green isle?

All the best

Thierry,

We're in Naples. Off to Sorrento today. Lovely weather, but due home on Sunday, I'm afraid.

Great work there Thierry.  Do you do work for Ardmore Studios? I heard they are up or sale.

Peter.
