Injury thread!

Ive been wondering why we dont have an razor restoration injury thread....considering if yall are like me I get cut or sanded weekly. Pics or a description of injuries.

Figured id start since I sanded off 2 fingertips in 2 weeks on a belt sander...once again kevlar gloves are a must....or so I keep telling myself....*sigh*

double sided tape works like a hot dam to hold pieces and keep your fingers off the belt too. You are just going to get the gloves caught in a machine. Jigs are a wonderful thing and need not be complicated.

I didnt take pictures, but I sanded my Middle finger tip on a belt sander Saturday trying to sand wood scales down to size. And I sliced my Pointer finger polishing a Blade on Sunday. The blade had drops of blood on it, I felt like Dexter (minus the killing people part).

When I was a union ironworker (structural steel erection) they used to call a new, or inept, guy a 'Joe McGee'. They used to say, 'you can tell the Joes by their fingers and toes.' Missing digits that is .......

In the oil patch a new guy was a "worm". His assistant was a "gunzel". I am not sure how these terms were founded but they are universal.

Ummmm there is a thread. "Cut of the day" It does include all cuts,slices, and tools used to do it. Plenty of blood gore and remedies.

My favorite ??? Wife comes in bumps cabinet against hubby's elbow. Result = way to many neck stitches . yikes !!!!
