Have you?

I did, but just the tip.
I was using the wrong length of staples building a door when I worked at Tuff Shed as a youngster.

Yep!! 19 year ago. Thought it was the issue my finger hurts when I bent the finger. But looking at the images it is not the same knuckle. And yes those were ohsa approved foot wear.

Same with a U shape 1 1/8 staple through the joint.

12d multiple times. Hand, knee, arm, etc.
A friend of mine was up on site built scaffolding building a multi level soffit, was working above his head and shot a 12 (nail gun 16) through his thumbnail and first 2 fingers and stuck it to the soffit. Let's just say it took us a while to figure out how to up high enough to get his hand out and get him on the ground.

Then wrap in toilet paper, and a bit of electrical tape, and back to work.

I was laying On my back under the deck of a boat. I have a staple gun that shoots about a 3/16 wide by 3/8 inch staple. Very powerful a chisel point will penetrate fiberglass. I reached over my head and grabbed the staple gun by the magazine with my thumb on the barrel. stapled my skin down to the bone and you could see the discoloration on the nail on the other side. I thought man is gonna hurt like a MF in a minute. I better get that out. Grab a pair of pliers and pulled it out. Never hurt at all.

many times. my father owns a finish carpentry business. worked for him from 16 until about 25. the trick is to pull it out quick so the glue doesnt have time to set.

I had a neighbor who was an x-ray tech. We soaked in ice water. I had a few shots of whiskey and he pulled it out with a pair of pliers. His first pull was a little test. I yelled at him just pull the fuc*er out!!! LOL Only a drop of blood.

No but I did bandsaw my middle finger in half to the first knuckle once.. after 30 years you can barely see it anymore

just wipe clean & tape...last the day without slippage and seals out the grime...supper glue work even better once bleeding stopped

[rivermobster]

ooofffff, yeah dont wait if you do it again. grab the dykes and yank that thing out. the worst is when you are right handed and nail your right index and middle finger together and you have to use your left hand to run the dykes.

Almost lost my finger to a bandsaw as a kid working in a butcher shop. I was underage, so they pulled me and put me back to box boy. Just nicked it. That sliding table is tricky.

Not sure where you got the 2nd picture but that is Jeff Miller a guy I used to work with unless someone else did the same thing

The first pic I can relate to but I nailed the 2 fingers together.

On the jobsite one day and a guy went to put a nail through the back of his partner's shoe sole to nail it down the guy moved and it nailed his Achilles tendon to his ankle.

One of my guys was rolling trusses and put a nail through his leg right above the kneecap. We had to pack him down out of the trusses and down to the first floor it was so buried I couldn't even get pliers on it, had to take him to St. Vincent. I was in the room with him and the doctor literally pulled a cats paw out of a sterile bag, a hammer out of another and a pair of channel locks out of another. Took about half hour for them to get it out. Guy looked at me and said "hell boss you could have done this at the jobsite and save the trip." Needless to say, it cracked his kneecap.

One guy nailed his hand to a stud, I had to sawzall the stud, you want hear a guy screaming, from the vibration. Took him to the hospital also.

I can go on forever with these kind of stories..lol

Story of a guy on a ladder with pinner.
Fell back and shot his buddy in the chest.
No pain or appearance of penetration.
Thought it was a misfire.
Latter guy doesn’t feel well.
Pin penetrated the heart sack and was filling with fluid. Don’t remember if the guy lived.

Not a construction incident. Wife 92 year grandfather worked at a bowling alley as a teenager. After hrs the pin stackers would screw around getting slid down the lanes by their buddies on their backs. One on each arm, drag and launch. Well, as he was getting drug a 4' splinter dislodged in his back as his buddies kept dragging him. Huge scar down his back. Heard that story 100x. It traumatized him.

Buddy of mine worked in a wood shop for the state parks. Dude was ripping some material down, and an arrow sized splinter got kicked out, going sideways through another dudes neck. Dude was totally fine and able to talk while my buddy drove him to the ER.
