Me too.
On a side note, I was making some jerky 3 or 4 months ago and cut my pinkie right at the knuckle, all the way to the knuckle. I probably should have gone to the doc because it still hurts to bend it.

this thread and the picture is the main reason I haven't moved forward with adding pneumatic operation to my resizing.
I would be called "Stumpy" in no time
heal quickly
I have an AutoDrive on my Ponsness Warren 800+. You do not want to get your hand caught when it is running.
I see the AutoDrive on the 1050 but would never install one unless I also had a bullet feeder.
My buddy nearly lost his finger on a MEC hydraulic press. It never did heal properly.
Trying to look on the bright side, every time I go near a press I'll remember this and be careful.
LOL Only because I know EXACTLY how that feels. Keep an eye out for infection.
Ran my finger into a band saw three months ago and took a pencil sized chunk out of it's tip. Couldn't get it stitched cause there wasn't anything to stitch up. Took a good six weeks to heal up most of the way. Not going to post any pictures cause it was a real good pucker. Be safe out there.
That's why I use a lee hand press. You have to use both hands to operate it. Keeps the digits safe. (mine have enough scar tissue allready). Also I can watch tv while decapping. Keeps the boredom down.
Maybe a copy of that pic posted on the wall behind our presses will help us all be a bit more careful.

The top of the decapping rod can get ya too. At least when I reach across the top of it for something.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6bcbb594c5.jpg
