How not to

Had a few injuries over the years, this one wasn't done by the blade but an offcut of coloured laminate one the table saw.
I was cutting the angle off a Steyr lg110 cheekpiece I was making and it flew off, sliced my thumb before hitting me in the chest and under the chin, it hurt like hell.

Hope you heal quickly as mine took ages.

Mark.

Not exactly an injury - I was cutting a length of pallet wood into 8" lengths. Rushing to get done, the wood hit the edge of the blade as I advanced for the next cut. The poor quality wood split and a thin sliver shot off into my left hand. I've had loads of splinters over the years but as I slowly pulled it out, I was amazed and fascinated by it's depth, about 1.5"
Just like minor splinters, no blood and quickly healed

We all do it hold chuck and pull trigger, did it swapping aurger bits. More stitches.
Guy on firm drilling through door, straight into the hand holding it.
Manual tool work=scars.

All these stories aren't making us men look very smart. Then again, the work has to be done.
