oldcarfan Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Never assume your finger is in the clear when using an XActo knife! I just shaved some skin off my pointer finger the other day while holding a steel ruler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going the opposite direction from drinking alcohol while modeling, don’t drink caffeine either. I shake bad enough without it. Give me some coffee and a fine brush for detailing? My builds start looking like when I was seven years old again!😜 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dripped a big glob on my finger and didn't notice it until I sprayed some kicker on a part and it activated the glob on my finger. I got a pea sized blister out of it that turned into a scar.

bobss396 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 By far the worst blade mishap was when my brother, age 11 then, was cutting some hobby wood using a big Xacto blade in the large holder. He was making the cut along a metal yardstick and the blade came out of the cut. Right up his left thumb, cut the nail like butter and came up close to the wrist. Deep... it took a few seconds for it to bleed... and bleed it did. I got some paper towels and luckily my dad was home, it was Saturday. My mom was at work. Dad took him to the ER... he was back a few hours and 10 stitches later. I stayed behind and mopped up the mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) And never hold something in the palm of your hand while drilling. I got in a hurry once and used my hand instead of the vise. When the drill bit broke through the part, I couldn't stop it from drilling into my open palm. After backing the bit out with a plug of meat and bone chips attached, I've never done that particular stupid thing again. Cool stigmata though.

oldscool Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) At one of my old jobs a coworker came into the office holding his bloody left hand and when asked what was wrong he replied through gritted teeth "number two all the way through". That phrase was a running joke for years afterward. He wasn't seriously injured. Edited November 28, 2023 by oldscool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Zipper Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Some of these stories remind me of high school shop class and good 'ol Primitive Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
