Thread: Rookie Mistake!

Holy Crap sorry to see,that palm cut is gonna hurt for awhile.
I did the same a few yrs back,got a set of small carbide reamers,use a T handle and do pivot holes by hand today.

Wow Bob that's one crazy cut there. Thank goodness you didn't get into some tendons. Heal up my friend!

Not a tendon with mine,but lost the nerve

Oh yeah that's right - nerves too. Man it can happen fast.
I've been pretty fortunate so far, knock on wood. The only stitches I've had was in my lip when a guy hopped up on something punched my lights out

That's terrible...I hope it heals cleanly and there is no permanent damage.

As you point out, it's important to keep in mind how incredibly sharp these razor's are, and it just takes an instant to do potentially serious damage.

Wish you the best....

Could have done the same drilling a pce of 18ga. sheet metal .

That looks painful! I hope your recovery goes quickly! It is the worst when you don't know what happened and then the blood starts pouring out of somewhere. Well, you're gonna have an interesting set of fingerprints now, but don't feel alone my thumb looks like Tony Montana after I gouged it with a Bowie.

Bob

You have my heartfelt sympathy and empathy. We have all done something similar and we can call it whatever we wish. Bottom line is $^#@*&^%$#@!!!!!!!! Let it heal and if you were on the East Coast I would recommend a Yuengling Lager every 15 minutes for the next 10 days. Don't forget the cigars.

Take care................

I did not hit the "like" button because there is nothing that I like about this.
Thank you for sharing, we all can benefit from these "special lessons" - doubly so when the come from the best of us.

To a smooth recovery then...

Holy crud!
That looks NASTY!
SPEEDY RECOVERY to you.
