Jim Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 ...almost have something in common. While working in my furniture class last night with small stock and a dado setup on the table saw, last class of the semester, last 10 minutes, I made a mistake. Luckily the cut did not reach the bone but did manage to cut halfway into the ring finger nail from the side. Ouch!!! So my question is: Will VW be kind enough to delay my 6 mo membership I just purchased last week for at least a month or will they play the vulture?

dbb Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 as I recall VW will let you defer your membership for like 2-3 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, the best part is I didn't even end up climbing! They had no bouldering open because of remodeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 As heard on NPR. Table Saw Technology Aims to Save Fingers. Heard this too, how ironic. VW did delay my membership foe a month though they made it clear they don't usually do this an they we're doing me a big favor.

Steddy Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 fwiw, i was on call (ambulance) when a friend split his forefinger to the second knuckle when a counter top bucked. he had some remarkable surgery and is doing fine, but my reason for responding is that i subsequently learned from a trustworthy source that this technology to stop blades has been around for a while in the industrial sector. looks like the price is becoming more affordable ($800 for contractor saw - gulp) now and goss is making the technology available to other tool makers. you can check sawstop.com HOPE YOU'RE HEALING WELL!!!

marylou Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I wonder why they are telling you that at the gym now. Isn't it better for business to NOT tell people they are paying for something they don't use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWolfe Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 In 18 years of carpentry, I have cut the tips off BOTH my thumbs! Still got all the digits, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 Ouch!! It's a good day when you return with all digits in tact. My nail has about grown back but it's still a bit sensitive and will always look a bit odd - but I'll take it considering the alternatives. Still not done with the dang project.
