Hi,
Just looking at the pics made me weak at the knees
A timely reminder, however, as there could well be modellers tools in their stocking/sack next week.

I've done FAR worse to myself with an Xacto knife back in my college days, try cutting stuff going on your 3rd day without sleep...
Have fun with your trains

Brian enjoy. And guys I am very tight about safety, yeah I am that bad! But your finger slips and drill goes into bites!
Reminds me of a nasty deep cut I received many many Christmases ago. I tried to open a plastic baggie thing with a pocket knife. Not really paying much attention, the knife closed on my thumb...Ouch
The running joke (still used even after all these years) whenever I'm using a knife is, "be careful, you don't want to have a Christmas". Looks like you can use this same line now

That's not that bad! I once shot a 3.5 inch nail through the middle section of my left index finger (and through my glove). Luckily, it missed the bone. If your last tetanus shot was over 10 years ago, you should go get a booster.

AAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL
over!
Back when I was in boyscouts they allways told us when using a knife allways cut away from yourself so you lower the risk of cutting yourself. Same applies to pretty much everything.
Another good idea is get yourself a pair of Hatch friskmaster gloves, there designed for police to use so they dont get stuck with needles or other sharp objects when, there leather with cut resistant "Powershield X3" liner. (Spectra, fiberglass, and polyester.) I allways where mine when im using power tools or working on my car

When I was a Police Officer they had gloves out and many still got stuck by needles (most was + for Hept.or HIV) and in a knife attack your vest don't help, shanks either. Been there and done it.

Okay well I think these gloves are good I have been using them for a few years whenever I work on my car use power tools and they hold up to knife's just fine too, sometimes i get bored and do that knife trick that Bishop from the movie Aliens does lol Im pretty good at it to and can do it pretty fast but sometimes after a few beer's I miss lol! All I get is a few bruises on my fingers and im using a sharp dagger
I never said they were good for what they were designed for, I just stated what they were designed for and that I happen to use/like them. I have drilled into my hand before using a simmiler sized bit to the one you have pictured with these gloves on and it didnt go through the layers, It went through the leather and the liner got wrapped up around the drill bit like lots of cloth does with drills and torqued the drill out of my other hand. lol then the glove was stuck on my hand because the drill made the liner tight and the drill was just hanging from the glove/hand by the bit untill i reversed it and ran it a few seconds to let go of the liner
My computer isn't letting me see Toad's pictures but I'm guessing it's a cut to the hand.
I think there are a number of people on this forum who've been injured with tools but are somewhat sheepish to admit.
The worst so far I've done is get nasty splinters in my hand from a table saw kickback. I wear gloves and full mask now and even a coat for body armor (in addition to push sticks and so on)
