That's fantastic! I can't wait to see the finished pix. Are you going to pad the basket with the red velvet so often seen?

Ouch! What did you goof your thumb in?

I stuck my right index finger into a router blade about 7 months ago. It basically pulped a 1/4" divot out of the tip.

There wasn't enough to stitch, so I basically put it back together as best I could and wrapped it tight. There's no real noticeable damage to look at it now (just a crescent shaped scar) but I managed to sever the nerve, so it's basically numb on the tip and pad of the finger.

Guards are there, as you say, for a reason.
