Phoenix man finds way to build new hand, new life
Howard Kamarata was a pipe fitter by trade, a home handyman by desire.
It was the handyman work that got him in trouble.
Kamarata was at home one day last October, working on an outdoor project.
He had solar lights, the kind that sit atop 4-by-4 posts, and he needed extra
height. He set up his miter saw — a type of saw that moves on a hinge, up
and down through wood. The piece he had was short, and he wanted to
cut it into 2-inch sections.
Being right-handed, he guided the electric saw with that hand and held the
wood in place with his left, near the cutting surface.
Before he knew it, the saw caught the wood, throwing it toward Kamarata.
His left hand slipped into the blade.
