If you think it is not safe to reach across a spinning table saw blade to clear a board on the other side...DON'T! It can really screw up the fingers you need to push the buttons on your camera!

Good advice, and I really hope this admonition isn’t from personal experience!

Yup! Stitches out in one week. I did manage to shoot the tall ships coming in anyway. But it sure wasn't easy.

Very sorry to hear that. As a woodworker, i’ve heard a fair number of painful stories involving table saws, jointers and other rotating tools. Maybe consider trading for a Saw Stop table saw? They weren’t around when I bought my Unisaw, but if they had been, I would have given it serious consideration. I hope you didn’t do too much permanent damage.

I did it making a pinewood derby car. My DW was not at all pleased looking for the end piece and then taking me to the doctor! It healed. She did too.

81 years and the first time I've been bit. I looked at the situation and thought "that's dangerous", then thought, "but I can do it if I'm careful" ...WRONG!
No permanent damage - just a flesh wound on my bulging thumb joint.
Don't let age and experience get in the way of better judgment.

Little things seem to get them cross-wise, bless their hearts.

Yeah, yeah, I've seen these for years but all they show is that hotdogs are saved from amputation. I'm still waiting for one of theiir people to demonstrate with a real finger.
Now how does is this really about PHOTOGRAPHY?
