    It's amazing how easy they can take a bite without you noticing. I had one square point that always nicked me behind my left earlobe. Took me forever but I figured out i was doing a small "flick" of my wrist and that was what was getting me.

    Sounds like you are doing well, keep up the good work!

    Never take your eye off that edge. Bad things will happen.

    If you cut yourself you can visit this thread to feel better about it.

    Just remember if there weren't at least 10 drops, it wasn't a cut.

    I suppose by that metric I haven't cut myself. Yet. Which knowing my luck means when I finally do, it's gonna be a good one.

    But those spike points have certainly made me aware that the toe is never to be left without direct supervision.

    I cut myself good once. Across the grain, not stretching the skin enough, started the pass at a steep angle using heavy pressure, while having a conversation with someone in a different room. The perfect storm of carelessness. I paid with more than 10 drops and still have a little mark to remind me of the lesson learned.
