Ah, glad I'm not the only klutz here! Misery loves company when it comes to cuts, burns, etc.
Been pretty lucky but I have had some close calls in the 1-1 world. As far as modeling, the worst was a bad finger cut from trying to catch a falling exato knife (reflex action).

Yep. I've done that.
And, burned my hand by catching a falling soldering iron. (Reflex- I thought if I melted the linoleum in the kitchen, the family will kill me... Never thought that the cord would stop it short of the floor..... )
Worst one though, caught a falling item at work... Oh yeah, it weighed 75-80 pounds.... Pulled every muscle in my back.... I really need to stop trying to catch things...

Lets not forget why they call "hot glue" hot glue, it burns while it sticks. :)

Mel, you certainly are not alone in the self surgery department. YGW, those power nailers are scary. I never nailed myself but have had a couple punctures from the wires from coil nails.
Never cut myself with an x-acto blade but have stitches in my thigh from a utility blade cut and sutures in left index finge frame a razor blade while trying to open an epoxy mix tube set. Both cuts were careless uses of a sharp blade. It sure happens fast and makes you feel really dumb after the fact.
I will admit that I have cut every finger on my left hand at least once with a hobby knife. Usually that happens when it slips. I even have a good size scar on my left index finger from when I was kitbashing a building when the knife slipped. I still have that building to this day. It is one of the bigger buildings on my layout. (Three kitbashed DPM Laube Linen Mills.)
I yelled at myself the other day about being 53 yrs old and still not learning that Xacto's are sharp.
I too am a member of the Dummy Club. Fingers cut, wrong end of soldering iron, pull a wire, fingers slip until the bend at the end catches your finger like a fish hook, finding out that that was a 110 volt circuit, not 12 volt and numerous other ways to injure yourself. Of course there's always CA gluing your fingers to the latest project, tool other fingers or a tabletop. This is fun isn't it? Isn't it?
God's Best & Happy Rails to You!
