Happened upon this Charles Neil video last night
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l4suyL84-w
Viweing it full screen at about 1:45 it's apparent his left index
finger was severely injured (severed?) in the past.
Looks like the surgeon maybe attached one of his toes as a
replacement.
Anybody know the circumstances on how it happened?
Table saw?

Looks more like he cut a tenon in his finger and or further up his hand,
the one that works that finger. My BIL has 3 fingers that look the
same, yeah he had a severe cut across the top of his hand IIRC not wood
working related.

He sort of mentions it here in 2008 but gives no details:

How many times, on HGTV or other stations that should know better, do
you see contractors or others cutting wood on a table saw without a
fence or miter gauge? Just shoving it through the blade.
It is stupid, dangerous and producers should know better.

Sure, why not?

Jig it up. Drill a line of holes in a piece of scrap, rip to the
halfway mark, round off the sharp points between them, and clamp that
on the board you want to scallop. Mount your circle cutter on your
router and use that to keep it from moving much. Clamp a rounded stick
to the top of the router to interface with the scalloped jig board.
Now run the thing down the line. (notso)Instant scalloped edge.
Play with the depth, width, and different bit sizes and profiles to
get the edge you want.

If not are there any suggestions for creating the scalloping?

I will have to try that. I make many frames for my wife's paintings and
am becoming bored with the standard router cuts.

People do stupid stuff. Usually on TV they preach safety and such,
especially on PBS, but on "Ask This Old House" I saw that contractor guy
Tom actually ripping 3-1/4-inch flooring with a buzz saw while holding
it in his hand!

Producers? They are the last people who know anything about
woodworking. :-)
Honestly, a producer's job is to hire the people who are supposed to
know about everything else.
