“I didn’t realise my hand had gone until I went to pick up a piece of wood and it wasn’t there. It was on the floor. I thought I was going to bleed to death.

I jump when I get a pin prick in the finger, I am sure I would have been dancing around if I had started cutting through my flesh and bone.

I wonder if he ever finished the project (The ceiling that is, not dismembering himself!)

A bit of stain block required there I think!

Apparently he struggles with some DIY jobs now and has to ask someone to lend him a hand.

Reading between the lines, he was doing mitre cuts on a chop saw and managed to get his sleeve caught in the blade.

So he noticed that his sleeve had been ripped off, but not his hand?

It was a close thing - he was lucky to save the watch.

Power tools... Sleeves... Power tools... Sleeves.... NOPE!

Worse than wearing gloves

And hair. I remember a teenage boy at school had white (long) hair, which is how it grew back after being pulled out by a pillar drill in woodwork.

I like the bit at the bottom. lol batons.

"This article was amended on 15 May 2015, to correct a reference to Mr Jones cutting batons. He was cutting battens."

If they'd been bricks he might have had to relay them..

all i can say is his medication alcohol consumption must fully mask the pain as the threshold must be 100% sensation removed
all his pain and feeling levels as in sound smell and stupidity must be removed from the brain for him not to notice ??

He's very likely suffering from diabetes. My step-dad walked round with broken leg for a month before it was noticed.

With a broken leg, did he walk round. And round. And round......
