Drops of blood on the kitchen floor. My left index finger in a huge bundle of gauze. You'd think I'd be more careful. Hurts like a papercut on steroids. Nothing like slicing off half your fingerprint. Aw heck why am I crying like a wee girl? I still got nine good ones! :thumbup:
 
Yeah I know. Haha!

It's just a painful cut - right on the tip. I could feel blade slice through it. Serves me right... karma, you know. Last time I sharpened the kitchen knives, Linda cut herself and she whined and I made fun of her. :rolleyes:
 
im thinking that right now i would rather have that cut then my thumb
dam thing has started to crack and split / bleed from working in water and my latest hand sanding sure isnt helping things
its funny how many times a day your fingers bump in to things when there cut :D

Aint that the truth? I took Bump-Man's advice and super-glued it. Since then I finished the handle scales on another folder and beveled a blade. Got it in HT as I write this. The finger feels pretty decent now. I laid some of that Band-Aid liquid bandage on it, and when that dried, I covered that with some brush-on Krazy Glue. Time for some lunch! :D
 
Damn Jeff, that's a pain that's gonna linger.:eek: Today I cut myself twice with HT foil, that stuff's like a razor blade and slipped off of a handle scale with my Dremel and sanded off some of the skin on my thumb.

No problem. I'll be right up and before I kiss it I'll show you something that you never seen before. The other end of that little sucker. HEHEHEHEHE!!!:eek: :eek:
 
There should be a term or expression that, describes exactly what goes through your mind, that instant when, you know, you have just run your finger against the, razor sharp edge of a knife you have been polishing on for three hours. You don't really want to look, for you know, you have sliced youself to the bone. You reach down and put a death grip on that finger or God forbid, fingers, trying not to bleed on everthing, then slowly, you take a peek. Hell, "I've seen worse than that" or honey, "we may need to go to Quick Care". You know what I mean. Fred
 
Ahhhh jusT bleed like a man :D
Not as much fun as stapling your thumb with a Power Stapler!
Still has nerve damage!

Long ago in a galaxy far far away, I got the same finger caught under the over-center handle inside one of the first F16 cockpits (before they were even called F16s). The power was on, and the canopy closed. The over-center handle was like the power lock you find on the luxury car trunks. It basically rotates hooks into the canopy sealing it tight to the sill. Anyway, it crushed my finger pretty bad.

I never went to the flight surgeon - just kept dressing it myself and cutting off dead flesh, etc. What? Dumbass? You have no idea the derision I would have suffered from the rest of the crew if they knew. The project I was on was somewhat elite and I had no desire to get booted off it.

It eventually healed, but the scar tissue and cartilage damage caused it so I could not fully open or close the finger. I worked it with the other hand, stretching it open and closed as much as I could stand. It took months to get it back to somewhat normal.

So that was my worst finger injury. Hey you guys feel free to turn this into a scar-story thread if you want. C'mon, lets hear 'em!
 
Hey!!! I didn't show you my dick finger as the Cheeeesel calls it when you were here???? Got my hand caught in a mold that weighted 350# and was 400 degrees hot. Broke off center finger, lost tip on ring finger and thumb was split open to the bone and looked like a mushroom. I am very lucky that I have my hand left. I got my hand out by myself and when I looked at it all you could see was bones sticking out and blood all over the place.:eek: :D
 
Hey Jeff,The burn from that liquid band-aid is enough to bring a guy to his knee's,hurts worse than the original injury.A friend of mine cut the tip of his finger off years ago,they took a graft off his a** to patch it.I swear,God is my witness,he now has a** hair that STILL grows out the tip of his finger.We still laugh about it every time he gets stubble on it.:D
