Steve

Jeff · September 03, 2003, 04:13:49 PM

What did I miss?

biziedizie · September 03, 2003, 04:18:41 PM

Jeff wasn't you talking bout Paul's thumbnail in the pic where he's holding the tag??? It looks like a hammer munched his thumb.

Steve

Larry · September 03, 2003, 04:19:55 PM

The black thumb doesn't have anything to do with the Dis old house thread does it?

" Mark shingles are easy to lay if ya know what your doing. Hand nail them and they will last forever aslong as you step up to the plate and buy the good ones." ;D ;D

Don't know how to use that grey thing either. ???

Jeff · September 03, 2003, 04:47:40 PM

Oh thats Pauls Thumb! Must be the reference to eastwing is to localized?

biziedizie · September 03, 2003, 04:54:42 PM

Hey Paul's thumb is on this thread too, just noticed it on my biz card. :

Wonder how that happened :

Truck door??? Fridge door??? Outhouse door???

Steve

Paul_H · September 03, 2003, 04:55:34 PM

You are 100% right Jeff.It was a rusty old Eastwing and the thumb was hit many times in the same place.

Why does that happen? :

biziedizie · September 03, 2003, 04:58:23 PM

Paul try holding the hammer with the other hand. ;D

Steve

chet · September 03, 2003, 07:04:36 PM

I just figured he was using dat same purty purple nail polish dat my daughter uses. :D

Tom · September 03, 2003, 07:10:45 PM

Pss-ss-s-t! Wanna hear a secret?

If you hold your hand knuckles down and the nail between your index finger and middle finger (like smokers do a cigarette), it doesn't hurt so much if you miss. ;D

biziedizie · September 03, 2003, 07:30:29 PM

I use an air powered spiker and I never hit my thumb. :D

Steve

Bibbyman · September 03, 2003, 07:33:11 PM

Get someone else to hold the nail! :D

Haytrader · September 03, 2003, 07:45:15 PM

biz,

Taint the hammer hand that needs to beswitched, it's the hand that gets whooped that needs the changin.
;D

Paul_H · September 03, 2003, 09:16:09 PM

Bibbyman is on to something there. Steve,how about you hold the nail,and when you nod your head,I'll hit it ;D

whitepe · September 03, 2003, 10:17:41 PM

Paul,
Which head are you going to hit, the nail head
or Steve's head? :D
Steve,
Nice Biz cards...

biziedizie · September 04, 2003, 02:51:29 AM

Trying to remember if I've ever hit my finger with a hammer :

  Hmmmm me don't think that I have. 8)

  Seen another guy bash his finger and all it did was make me laff. :D :D

   Steve

OneWithWood · September 04, 2003, 09:09:28 AM

No wonder you guys are nailing your fingers - you all are using the wrong hammer. Get an Estwing to replace your Eastwings and mebbe you'll have better luck.

Paul_H · September 04, 2003, 10:09:41 AM

But Eastwings are so much cheaper :

I'm a little dyslexic for sure. 8)

shopteacher · September 04, 2003, 01:57:53 PM

Shot a 16d naill through my index finger this summer while working on the barn. Then when my brother was here from Seattle we were building a small garden shed for our mother. Big brother is nailing trim onto the corners of the building and I'm working on the doors. He bangs the gun against the corner of the shed, but only catches the very edge and I catch a 6d nail right below the adams apple. went in about a 1/4 inch, good thing I was about 3 feet away from him. >:(

biziedizie · September 04, 2003, 06:12:41 PM

  Shopteacher....maybe.....just maybe ya might wanna not play with them air nailers. ;)

  I've seen some pretty bad accidents with spikers, most people have no idea as to how much damage them things can do.
  I always shake my head when I see construction guys with hard hats on and a spiker in their hands but no saftey glasses on. :

I bought a new pair this morning as I was jack hammering most of the day and with all the little chunks od concrete I chucked them at the end of the day.

shopteacher · September 04, 2003, 06:21:57 PM

Your probably right Biz, but I just love the way they BANG when you pull that trigger. 8) I have 5 different guns and have gone through many, many,many cartons of nails, so what a little thing like a nail through the finger once in awhile anyway. :D :D :D

biziedizie · September 04, 2003, 06:34:47 PM

I can't count how many coils of nails I've been through and so far no accidents.

Came close a few times but so far I've been lucky. 8)
The biggest thing that I've found is to keep your fingers about 8" away from the gun while you hold the wood. Also try to avoid blasting a nail close to a knot. Seen a buddy do that and the nail hit the knot and it came back at him and got his thumb.

At the time it wasn't funny but now that I think of it I gotta laff. :D :D
