here's a little nick I got early on... since then I have gotten bit a few times, but almost always by "dull" blades I'm restoring. Be careful out there!
Bruno,
You have done amazingly well to have made it this long without "discovering" the now obvious. We read it and say that it won't happen to me...then the "dang, I think I just hurt myself".
I'm just glad it wasn't a gusher requiring Super Glue!
I think you caused an epidemic Bruno :p I put my knuckle against the belt sander yesterday. Lucky it was only 120 grit :D
Maybe we should charge danger money for restorations & honing
It's Cut Thumb Man!
Here's the latest injury. I was working on a new display case, using a tenon saw, and to be honest got a little complacent and wasnt giving the due attention to the task.
This one hurt, the cut went an a real angle so there's a big flap of skin there still hangin' on. The photos are a few hours later so the blood had stopped flowing.
Dont try this at home kids.

Oh man....that one does not look nice at all. Well, maybe it's time to sit down and take a pain killer, like Cognac or Scotch.
On that nasty saw cut, rough edges are the worst, you are going to lose all that extra skin that is no longer getting blood flow. You might think about trimming some of it with a sterile scissors or have it professionally done of you dont like to do your own doctoring. I personally have put dual large bore IVs in myself and stitched my self a number of times. But then again I look at human road pizza all the time so a cut finger or hand is really more interesting to my warped mind.
