A few weeks ago I was fixing wires at the back of my Landy. Crouching down, a scalpel fell out the back of it and stuck in the top of my leg, waving around.. small blade but in deep.. 3M blue tape to the rescue
Yesterday whilst fitting the new fence I was screwing in the bottom bracket when my (heaviest) spirit level fell off the top rail of the panel straight onto my head.
I do this kind of thing all the time....
I did something similar about 10 years back and managed to have the chisel go right into the palm of my left hand, leaving me with stitches and mild nerve damage on the right side of the hand and two fingers. Fun!
Injuries whilst woodworking?
Chisel through nerve on thumb (wasn't even doing anything, just walking through garage and "Oooh, better put that chisel roll back on shelf")- 1 1/2hr op to repair.
Took half a nail off when clearing gunk from sanding drum on thicknesser, using eraser block.
Dropped a scalpel onto leg - through jeans and irritatingly 3-4mm into thigh.
And I dread to think what the respiratory cost will be to doing all that sanding without a mask........
All fun and games!
