Yesterday I spent most of the morning in my "shop". I used the table saw several times.. Then hand held router. Then table router. Miter saw. Drill press and two sanders. All the dangerous tools with no sweat. Then I pulled out my brand new Rooster and Hen pocket knife and began to scribe a line on some oak. Slip! Zip! Holy Moly Oly.....off to the Emergency Room for 12 stitches. A reminder to me, that I am sharing with you, that a guy has GOTTA be alert all the time! I did NOT do a thing wrong.....but accidents DO happen. Your wonded pal, Birch. | ||

Sorry to hear of your unfortunate accident Birch. Motorcycle riding is like woodworking also. You CANNOT let your guard down for a second. I do understand that accidents do happen. I sliced a finger open reaching for the toliet paper at work. Who would have thunk it. Seems the chrome was peeling off the holder and when I reached for the paper my finger found the exact spot where it was peeling. So, accidents do happen, no matter where you are. Hope you get healed quickly.

Oh Birch, Dog gone it... sounds like you have pretty nice shop! I can't imagine how such a slip with a pocket knife could cause a cut worth 12 stitches!!  Sorry you got cut, etc... bummer... Hope you get better & heal fast! Take care... | ||

You never know when someting like that will happen. Last year I knocked off part of the tip of my left thumb twice in one year on my band saw feeding a slim piece of wood in. Now the thumb is a little numb on the tip. The push stick was hanging one foot away and I didn't use it. When will we ever learn? | ||

Hi Birch First, let me wish you fast recovery It reminds me, that on a UK forum there was a discussion about safety (Just for a general knowledge, the Bretons are crazy about safety) and I replied "hey, guys, all my accidents are not from the TS, Router and a like but from the utility knife" I also cut my finger the same way like you did but it was not so sever and I glue the cut with CA (super glue). Regards niki | ||
