I cut my finger.

[hawkeye10]

I was in the process of making 21 crosses Easter sunday school class. I was cutting double stick tape to rout the bases for the crosses. I am putting round bases instead of the octagon base that is the picture. I was using a box knife and it slipped but it happened so fast that is all I remember. I cut my ring finger on my right hand and it took three stitches.  I sure glad it wasn't my road rage finger.  

 

I don't think the crosses will be ready in time. A  week late might be okay.

Those box cutters are dangerous.

OOPS !...Ouch !

If it was your road rage finger you'd enjoy saying "Hey, look, I cut this finger!"

Hi Don:

Been there done that

My right thumb took a beating BITD

cutting carpet and vinyl floor -

It didn't hurt enough the first or the second time

but the third and last time did...............LOL

When will we learn? 

Only 3??? - Glad to hear it wasn't more

Dull blades are the worse

Wrap it up, suck it up and get those crosses finished on time

That;s what baggies are for

It only hurts for awhile

P.S.

Nice cross BTW, someone will be happy

Ouch Don yes had a few of those cuts.

Darn box cutters are so sharp you don't

really know you cut yourself until you see the blood.

I feel your pain. Knock on wood my only serious woodworking injury was with a sheet rock knife. Got my index finger. Like you I wore a three stitch badge of dishonor and my project was put on hold for a week.

[AK Moose Nugget]

If I only had a nickel for every time I have cut myself.  Wow!! 

 

Heal fast!!

[JTTHECLOCKMAN]

Same drill here Thanksgiving weekend. 3 stitches. They were out in 10 days and I was back at the saw. My planer backfired. A small piece got stuck in the planer so I took a stick 12" long x 1/2" x 1/2" to push the piece through. Backfired on me. Pushed that stick back into the palm of my hand. learned later to never put anything less that 12" in length through the planer to begin with. Same with a jointer. Too bad the crosses will be delayed. They are beautiful on the base.

Saddened to read that Friend.  I am 77 years old and have yet to find an intelligent way to hurt myself.  _{For me, it has always been preceded by something stupid.}
