What not to do when building a frogroom. (Warning picture is not for the squeemish)

Jeffdart · 05-02-2010, 06:39 AM

The nail gun misfired and shot a nail right in. Six years of construction and I do it at home. Got lucky it missed the bone, can still feel the fingers and move them. You could see the tip of the nail wanting to poke out of my palm. It didn't even hurt until they yanked it out with pliers.

Right after I did it.

Me in the ER

This one shows about how deep the nail was in my hand.

Wow! How ironic is that.

I used to do fence installation and used to use nail guns using the same sized nail U blasted yourself with.
While at work my cousins gun backfired and almost hit his eye, just grazing his eyebrow and he bled.

Ever since then we used safety goggles. Glad to see your O.K. Thank God nothing more serious happened to U. As a precaution hope U do use safety goggles, protect your eyes man. I know u know what your doing but look s*#t happens. Peace.

Oh, man. Every few years or so a close call leaves minor damage (lucky bastard!) and reminds us to be more careful... until we forget, again. I hope your next reminder leaves you smiling with feeling in your fingers.

So this was posted in May right? Did you ever get to finish your frog room? How did it turn out?

Jeffdart · 10-25-2010, 10:00 PM

I did finish it about a month ago. It turned out pretty sweet.
