Though the left in...Well, I've got all me fingers. Though the left index is still pretty swollen and black and blue this morning. I can bend it okay, slowly. And I can type, obviously, but slowly.<BR/><BR/>I was turning a wet greenwood birch burl, and maybe had the RPMs a little too high. I let the scraper drift just a little too far past the center point without the proper bracing grip (elbow locked, left hand on top) and it bucked against the tool rest and cracked me across the knuckles as I moved my hand just a little too late into the proper grip. <BR/><BR/>The good news is that I didn't damage the chisel scraper. This tool is a Robert Sorby, Sheffield Steel, made in the UK. Very expensive. I'd much rather damage myself than damage that tool.Jim Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259550121437562338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-65719571000392000742007-09-26T08:02:00.000-05:002007-09-26T08:02:00.000-05:00OUCH!Damn it, now my fingers are going to hurt all...OUCH!<BR/><BR/>Damn it, now my fingers are going to hurt all day in sympathetic pain. Glad you didn't lose one. <BR/><BR/>My woodwork instructor makes it a sign of pride to show he still has all ten. And that this is the sign of a good woodworker, they have all their fingers. Sure, how well they work or feel is another matter all together, but using saws, sanders, jointers and planers, keeping all the flesh on is a good thing.Steve Buchheithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12999709767641212586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-62109261500148472232007-09-25T22:42:00.000-05:002007-09-25T22:42:00.000-05:00well, I was having fun when I did it.well, I <I>was</I> having fun when I did it.Jim Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259550121437562338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-78276295968594063452007-09-25T22:19:00.000-05:002007-09-25T22:19:00.000-05:00You filed this under things you do for fun?Perhaps...You filed this under <EM>things you do for fun?</EM><BR/><BR/>Perhaps you'd like a nice long trip back to the Dark Ages, so you can have <EM>even more fun!</EM><BR/><BR/>Sorry about your accident.
