Wow Marv, you got lucky.
My dad was a wood worker all his life. Early he worked at the local lumberyard and later he built homes and mach ups for airplanes at McDonnell Douglas.
When it came time for his monthly poker game, I remember vividly as a child, seeing all those missing/shortened digits holding cards around the table. It was almost a symbol of hard work 40 years ago. Let's just say safety wasn't tantamount to getting work done way back when.
While my dad never lost a finger, he did get blood poisoning from a splinter and ended up with one finger looking a little strange.
