Is it cold in here?:
A lawsuit would be irrational unless the parts inventory is valuable. Otherwise Faye and Bubbles are judgement-proof.

Unfortunately, this time she did maim herself, she lost a fingernail - the whole nail. Not as serious as losing a finger, but still bloody and painful. Her dad started to berate Faye just about the blowtorch and using knives before being distracted by some liquor, but this time is worse, this time she got hurt, and I don't think giving him an "old-fashioned" will help this time.
Now personally if I were Jim, I'd look at Sam with her aching bandaged finger and ask "And what did we learn today?" If her answer was something along the lines of "Don't stick your finger in a power tool's moving parts." then I'd let her go back to the shop. Otherwise, I'd forbid it on the grounds of her being too likely to Darwin herself into an early grave.

That maybe but Faye is, whether she likes it or not, In Loco Parentis of Sam so its on her to make sure Sam doesn't hurt herself
However those links did show that Faye has been indulging Sam for quite a while now

I have to agree with Chris here. Faye has been a friend to Sam, and there is nothing wrong with that. But in a professional setting, where there are tools and devices that could seriously injure, maim or even kill, Faye needs to stop being a friend and start being a responsible adult.
I've said before that Sam is a smart kid, but she hasn't got one iota of common sense. In fact, she's a bit of a dumbass. Faye should have known that, in fact when Sam first went into the workshop, she hadn't been in there for thirty seconds before getting herself caught in a (thankfully inactive) saw/drill unit. That should have sent warning alarms off in Faye's head. Hell, yesterday's comic should have had Faye age about ten years when Sam was going to try and dremel a piece without putting it into a vise first.
The fact remains that Faye ended up giving Sam barely even the bare minimum of protection. At the very least, Sam should have been wearing work gloves.
In the end, Faye should have been the responsible adult and didn't quite make it.
Is it cold in here?:
Sam has two parents again, and one of them is psychologically savvy. I wonder what her take would be.
TheEvilDog:
Comic's up.
And it was definitely most of the nail taken.
I'd say Sam should bite the bullet and tell her father the truth, but with that kid, she'd probably lose a couple of teeth.
