Was your shop teacher missing any appendages?

No, but my old dentist was missing a finger. Or at least part of one.

Middle school shop teacher lost 3 fingers showing us "how not to do it". He was a mean ol coot!

My shop teacher was missing the tip of his thumb, table saw got him one day. I shall also refresh your memory. " keep your soft parts out of the spinning metal parts

Yep, Mr. Hardy. Had 7 of his 10 fingers and was missing an eye.

Due to my recent acquisition of a radial arm saw from the INGO classifieds, my wife has done her duty by suggesting that I "be careful" and "not cut my hand off". I am inclined to oblige her request.

First, I wanted that, but you came up with the cash first, so go team you.

Second, they didn't get the name "radical harm saw" by accident. well, actually, they did.

8th grade shop teacher was missing a hand, radial arm saw I believe. High school AG teacher (my dad) was missing part of his ring finger, fell while running with an axe as a kid.

Everything there. His wife was run over by a riding mower though, does that count?


Reps to anyone who can name him, until I run out.

Yup.....missing the end of a thumb and half of the "Salute" finger.

Our instructor always seemed to be intact. The students on the other hand seemed to have an issue; in 7th grade shop class a classmate was using a table saw and had his thumb extended in such a way so that the spinning saw blade intersected his extended thumb right where it attached to his hand. Needless to say the thumb was severed. The student calmly shut off the saw, applied the brake and then climb up on top of the table saw where he retrieved his thumb which was now firmly embedded in the ceiling. After climbing down off the table he held the thumb up to his hand and walked over to the teacher. He said "look what I can do" and pulled his thumb away from his hand, the teacher promptly passed out cold.

We all thought it was pretty cool!

Now that I've stopped laughing... Winner!

I suppose I shouldn't laugh at a kid cutting his thumb off, but, damn, climbing up on the table and pulling his thumb out of the ceiling...and then launching on his teacher... Joe Cool for life. I'm curious, do you know how he turned out in the long run? Did he get his thumb sewn back on, grow up to join the Marines and be awarded the MoH? Lost the thumb but now overshadows the Wallendas? Became a serial killer? Ice water in the veins of that boy.

He was whole physically. Mentally, not so much.

Are you you sure you're not talking about Senior Chemistry at North Central (not the Master's classes)?
