I would love to say it was a skill saw like my hero @tommye. Sadly there was zero 'skill' involved.
Redecorating and Mrs Kev decided that new laminate flooring was required in the kitchen. I was taking up the existing laminate and was actually removing the penultimate piece (which was proving stubborn.)
I had managed a fingertip grasp and then decided to move further forward to get a proper grip, in doing so I actually knelt on the board that my finger was under.

I'm not the brightest button in the box lol

Bleeding heck!

We men are at constant risk of losing body parts at the whim of the females we share our existence with and their DIY requests.

I'm struggling to visualise how laminate can cut off the top of a finger ... crush it perhaps, but cut it like that? Geesh. Perhaps I'm better off not visualising it, it's nearly bed time!

Reminds me of the top of my finger after a bit of sheet steel I was drilling on a pillar drill snatched and spun yonks back*. Fortunately it left a hinge and I was able to plaster it back together.

Heal soon chum.

Tomorrow I've got to cut out a length of chipboard flooring with an assortment of powertools, you guys aren't making me feel wonderful about it if I'm honest...

Based on the advice and comments in here it would be wise to take the following steps;

- warn the dog it's getting fingered
- warn the Mrs the flooring isn't getting done
- organise your fridge so there's plenty of presentation space and @john jako gets the picture he deserves.

No power tools involved in mine @The binman chronicles, just plain clumsiness/stupidity

To be honest I'm worried about most of the forum using a butter knife.

Probably for the best not to. I actually touched the moving blade of my circular saw today but luckily my digits are still attached. As I had to use it as a plunge saw I needed to hold up the guard (not a particularly good and safe idea) and because I was trying to keep my fingers away from the edge I ended up touching the face as it was spinning.
