Oh gosh! Looks as though he's had a bit of an accident with a power saw?

Wonderful capture of this hard-working man at work. The sparks are captured with awesome aplomb! #9923208

Thank you all for your interest. This is very tiring work for Tony but also good for him as it shows he can still do it. Miichelle, very observant of you, he lost the finger 10 years ago at work while doing a repair. The sad thing was, the very bloke who askde him to do the repair, was the one who turned the machine back on, checking to see if it was on or off!!! #9926468

OWWWWWW!! for poor Tony's finger! Truth IS stranger than fiction, regarding the circumstances of his losing the finger.

I think it's wonderful that Tony's up to the challenge of these re-builds, Chris. As you said, it's good for him ~ not just physically, but mentally, too. Your capture and composition of this scene are extremely well done. #9928536

Yes, Chris, I do like your sense of humor- I am smiling as I write this!
Have a nice day, my friend! #9932382

I was drawn to this as my grandfather was a machinist and welder. You captured it well. I am glad that Tony was able to get back into it. Love the sparks and composition.

Thanks for your thoughts on this one. He would be lost if he couldn't do "some" work, but it tires him out like you wouldn't believe, that he is finding hard to come to terms with. #9935759
