Thread: Rookie Mistake!

So a quiet Sunday afternoon in the garage drilling out a pivot hole. Straight is in the vise and the hole is drilled. Take out the razor and notice a couple of burrs that have to go. So the rookie dumb a-s mistake takes place. Grab the blade by the spine with my left hand and pick up the drill with my right and proceed to have bit bite hard into the hole and the blade spins out of my hand and slices my palm and small finger before I know what has happened. I live on blood thinners so things got a bit messy. Fortunately my Doctor is a good friend and when I tell him what I have done he says meet me at my office in a half hour. So 7 stitches later I am back home and decide I may as well jus relax and enjoy another cigar and go in the house and watch the recorded Great Britain grand prix from yesterday. I am sure I will kick myself in the a-s for several days as I contemplate my stupidity.
