Jeremy Lonergan’s shocked workmates nearly fainted when they saw him holding his severed left hand in his right.
They tied a shirt round his wrist which was gushing blood and put the hand in a plastic bag, which Jeremy kept on his lap in the ambulance.
Surgeons stitched the hand back on in a 12-hour operation, but two of the fingers could not be saved.
Jeremy, 34, of Ossett, West Yorkshire, can now pick up items with his thumb and forefinger.
He was using a blade saw as he helped to build a new house at the time of the accident. He said: "I feel like a dumb ass chopping off my hand — but I also feel very lucky now it’s back on."
