Hey guys. Charlie/Littleowl just left out of work here. He was using a grinding wheel on a metal rod and got his glove cought and ripped up his thumb pretty bad. I don't know all the details but I just wanted to let you all know and keep him in your thoughts and I will update when I know more.

Ouch. Doesn't sound like it was a clean one. Well I hope things aren't too bad and that whatever the outcome is, he can still work.
Good luck Littleowl!

Not much choice polishing metal...it gets hot right away. I remember having the brilliant idea of trimming down a 36 grit disk on a right angle grinder with a utilty knife while it was running. Luckily for me the gloves were quite a bit too long, as the blade got snatched out of the holder and sliced the tips off three fingers...of the gloves. I got a little whack...and a serious wake up call...
Work: it's serious.
Hope he is not bad off...

Sorry to hear this, hope its no to bad...
Just got off the phone with his wife and they are going to put a pin in it here quick (her words "so it don't flop around" lol ) and stitch it up and then send him home. Then make a time for a sergery to fix it right I guess soon.
Got an Xtreme System? Bring it here! <----
Is good he is going home. Sounds yuk though.
You give him a hug.
damn - Hope he gets feeling ok after he is off the painkillers ( must be felling somewhat ok as they must give him something... if you know what I mean)
You give him a hug.

A manly guy type hug.
It's ok to hug a friend you homophobe..
And when you give him that one from Patty you give him one from me also.
just remember to stick 2 grapefruit in your shirt when you give him the one from Patty so he knows who it's coming from!

Me too. Hope you're ok Charlie. Thank god you only need one thumb to hit the space bar huh? (kidding)
Pins in the context of bones doesn't sound good - neither does the "flopping around" part. Your wife must have a good sense of humor. Either that or she really, really doesn't like you. (kidding, again)
Best wishes and I hope everything works out well.
Ouch... I got my finger pulled into a disk sander that had 32 grit paper on it once... Not fun.
DAMN YOU GLOVE!
Hopefully Nothing more permanent then a scar.

Ok last update from a very very drugged up Charlie on the phone. He is on the way home. They put a pin in and wrapped it up tight and he has to deal with it till Tuesday when he goes back in and they decide if they can fix it or cut it off. Now remember he was drugged pretty good so that may be a bit off but that is what I was told. Thanks all for you kind thoughs and well wishes. I am sure it will mean a lot to him, But I am still not hugging him

wow , I truly hope they will fix his thumb and don't have to cut it off
Good luck Charlie !
