Ouch! careful changing those blades

[treefolk]

In a and e feeling bored and a bit stupid. Changing blades on a jo beau m400, moved drum round with fingers to check clearance etc, compression releases suddenly. Tip badly cut on one finger, another severed through the bone was dangling around. Could have been much worse.

I should have known better but an easy mistake to make none the less. Hope this can stop someone else doing the same.

Going for surgery in the morning. They want to put a wire in to knit the bone together before they stitch it all up
