All to familiar! I’ve had some doozies that are too gruesome to post. Let’s just say I have no feeling in my left thumb or index finger. But luckily they still work.

Swearing sometimes helps to provide a quicker recovery.  When I'm chiselling, I half expect to slightly "modify" a digit... bonus if I don't!

Workshops mishaps happen. They're always a bit unnerving when they do. Ron, it was a combination rasp/chisel but I was using it as a chisel at the time so yeah... I guess it was a chisel. LOL.

As if to indulge in proving my point in my previous post, either that or Karma, (Is that a "thing"?), is punishing me for teasing you, I ran a 3/8 inch sliver into my hand sorting wood to make a canjo today. My utility knife and a pair of tweezers managed to get it out in one piece. (I hope, (grins!))

I should own stock in Neosporin.

Let me guess. chisel. I build CBG to large furniture have every power tool, but the lowly chisel has drawn more blood than all the other tools combined.

"especially when you're as uncoordinated as I am."

I'm not "uncoordinated". I'm just clumsy.

A regular occurrence on nearly every build I do, the smallest nick usually bleeds like buggery, when part of your medications include blood thinners, ;-{

It is exactly the one you're thinking Bob. And if you look carefully you can see a blurry rendition in the background. LOL. Don't worry... I didn't get any blood on the CBG.

I have a curved carpet needle and thread if you need it.  I hope that didn’t happen on the CBG I’m thinking you might have been working on.  I already deposited some blood on the neck of the one I’m building but not as much as you are leaking.

Ha ha. If you use power tools, you're bound to get a few scrapes... especially when you're as uncoordinated as I am.
