#1 Fred, the injured party wouldn't be anyone we know, would it?
Hope your thumb gets better soon. (Typing must be a b*tch. I'm sorry!)

#2 One word: Pusher wood block. And safety goggles.

Our carpenter (a family friend) lost 3/4" of his handed thumb cutting on a table saw in our basement. He was a lousy carpenter in other ways, too, it turned out, but that was the worst.

(My dad was also a lousy judge of contractors; our landscape architect dropped a foot-thick tree branch through our neighbor's porch.)

#3 I can still move it, so it's not busted. It just hurts when I do... The floor looks a lot better than my thumb.
