I pinched my fingers yesterday and today I drilled through the on today to release the pressure man the blood shot out but I do feel better.

…. How’d you manage to do it … cmon ?

I was putting a slot plate on my lathe and my fingers were between it and the way’s as it spun around, it’s 24 inches across.

That’ll do it lol

Eww! It looks like mold! Sorry buddy

Yeah the language used definitely isn’t allowed on here.

I’ll guarantee it’s not mold.

I remember the first time I had to make a hole in a nail that throbbed like it was hit by a hammer every time my heart beat.
I didn't use a drill bit. I used a very sharp knife and carefully whittled a notch it it until the dam broke.
That was a tense moment because it already hurt and here I am slicing a hole in my dang fingernail.
I was ready to give up all of my top secrets to the Vietcong, but I didn't know of any nearby. I stayed strong and didn't crack.
When I finally broke through and the sudden pressure release occurred, I thought that I had carved too deep. It was an intense feeling, but it wasn't pain, it was intense relief.

Heat a needle red hot and it goes through the nail easily. Pain is just a reminder that you are alive lol. Sorry Bob i know that hurt

I pinched mine a few years ago, first thing in the morning at work, all by myself 4:00 am. Had to finish loading the compactor on the truck and drive to the shop and clean it up a bit. Never been the same.



wws

I like the hot pin method, but have drilled them also.
Hard to believe how much pain relief comes instantly.

Bet that one hurt Bob

I was in high school and thumb got smashed in ag class first thing in the morning.
I was miserable all day
When dad got home from work he convinced me to let him burn a hole in it and the relief was instant.

From then on I put a hole in a mashed one as soon as I can.

Last time I used a tiny drill bit, rotating between my finger tips not in a drill, and the issue with that is when it went through it grabbed and then I thought I was going to have to go get help to get it out of my nail
But I got my multitool and managed to reverse it

Then when it finally started falling off, I had one of the docs at work "block" that finger which involved a hypodermic between the fingers on each side of the affected one. It was hanging on pretty good in one little area and I didn't want it getting ripped off

been there done that,

OUCH!!!!!
