A couple Band Aids and I’ll be fine


Every year I make a piece of furniture for a charity auction here in Albuquerque.
And I’m basically terrified of my own power tools.
Twice, I’ve seen woodworkers with only three fingers on one hand.  Once would have been plenty, but if you visit woodworking supply stores often enough you run that risk, right?
Anyway, I finished my project without a mishap and used all ten of my fingers to put my tools away.  Then I discovered I needed to make one little extra cut.
Being too lazy to re-set everything, I did it with a handsaw.
And chewed up the skin on one of my fingers in the process.
