They breed em tough over there. "I didn't realise my hand had gone until I went to pick up a piece of wood and it wasn't there. It was on the floor. I thought I was going to bleed to death," Jones said.

"After nine hours of surgery, doctors managed to reattach Jones' hand and he can now move it and drive again.
He is even carrying on with his DIY.".

True, thank, makes it harder to understand how he could have done that, I mean cutting off whole hand!

It was some sort of relay, the article says he was cutting batons.

My old man did the same with his thumb when I was a kid. My mother had to go down and search through the sawdust on the floor behind the saw to find it. Doctor sewed it back on and everything is good. Modern trauma treatment is great. The use of stock photos in news is annoying though. Clearly a big saw like that is nothing like the one that removed the finger, so what relevance does it have to the article. The Herald is terrible for it. Unrelated images with "Photo / Thinkstock" on every single article. If they haven't got an actual photo of the event then why bother with a photo at all. End rant.

I'm sure he would have stopped cutting long before his hand came off if he was using a hand saw.
