My days as a modder are on hold for a bit, had a little accident with the Stanley knife splitting plastic pieces, and got a nice cut on my index finger along the finger, ended up in the ER and needed stitches.

Now that I was lucky and avoided serious injuries, I think my knife technique needs to change a bit! 🤔 (or not holding the parts being cut with my fingers)……
Every scar is a lesson!

If I'm going to keep the 10 I have, I should probably think differently than today's stunt.
I don't know why I didn't use the little table vise I have to hold the plastic, maybe it's because I'm almost 60 and have stopped using my little brain.
If anything good is to be said, it didn't take more than an hour at the doctor's and sewing, and that I got the tetanus shot topped up lol

The plan for this day was actually to chamber 2 jugs I'm working on, it probably won't be for another week though

Good afternoon guys. Tonight is 410 sprint car races with @JoeDirt . Also was in Costco today with the wife. I saw this and instantly thought cigar humidor. She said I'm a moron. I don't think she sees the big picture. View attachment 469593
Red is not completely wrong, how many years of OT would it take to fill/ keep filled…

They say a scar is a tattoo with a better story.

My most recent razor knife wound was from cutting a zip tie. I have since then discovered that smart people use wire cutters. As I told the ER receptionist, "I'll see you next time I do something stupid!"

Don't feel bad Tor I watched a guy at work rampage on a tapcon the drill was in reverse. for probably 4 minutes then he grabs tapcon bare handed to see why it wasn't drilling in
He now has spiral burns on both palms
He didn't drop it when it burns one hand so he puts it in the other hand to be burned as well.

@Tor R i have definitely sliced my fingers a few times with razor blades/stanley knives. The one that comes to mind is where I was cutting some wrap off an engine harness and sliced through the side of a finger and fingernail. The scar is still there.

One of my fingertips has a noticeable slant to it because of another incident 😀 I know where my daughter’s hair ties are and I’ve had to use them several times to stop the bleeding.

Hope you heal up ok man!
