I went back through my Marble Falls pics and found I have several good pics of Dinsdale...







Ok, maybe not so good... He's also in this shot (hover your mouse over each person)

That will heal just fine. It's happened to me. It will take two months but you will be amazed. No surgery required, just keep it cover and clean. Yeah, I'm a surgeon.
Good luck,
Dave

Maybe not. Here is a picture of my thumb that I did that to in my youth when slicing an onion in a food slicer and I took the end right off of it in about the same amount as shown in this thread. It healed up just about as shown and filled out pretty well, but can still be seen as a little scare tissue in the print of the end. When I did it the blood spurted up about two or three inches before I got a hand towel onto it. I guess we missed that part of this recent injury. Darn.

The black calipers were not cutting it and felt JP needed a little more umph. Ordered 3-4 free color swatches through Ben and chose "Pearl Yellow" then shipped the calipers up to Ben to do his thing. Ben was an absolute pleasure to deal every step of the way and will be using his services again in the future. T

Yes, Ben disassembled the calipers before powdercoating. It's been a bit cold here lately & will get back to the project very soon. T

Dry run on the radiator, condensor, etc. Sourcing a male plug for the bulkhead connector. Dinsdale's finger is on the mend. T
