CFM chuck123wapati Posted April 25, 2023 CFM Report Posted April 25, 2023 I've heard of people who don't cut themselves but I've never met one. Twice this week for me on leather and once in the garage on wood, and its only Tuesday. What we need is a thread about getting blood stains out of an almost finished piece lol. Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

Not such a bad idea! I still remember that story on here (forget who it was that posted) The guy's friend picked up his head knife, and tested the blade by running his thumb along the edge... Much blood, a trip to the hospital and quite a few stitches followed... We need another thread for the dumbest thing anyone's ever done with a very sharp leather tool! Billybop, yes the Leather Gods must be appeased! When younger, I did a fair bit of woodworking. Quite a few bandaids happened, especially when I was whittling! Haven't done anything too serious yet with cutting leather. Okay, that's probably tempting fate... Edited April 25, 2023 by Sheilajeanne Quote

Members Handstitched Posted April 26, 2023 Members Report Posted April 26, 2023 This'll throw ya!!...and way off topic. I used to be in the fibreglass pool industry . Injuries were common. If I ever got a *FG splinter in my finger etc, the only way to get it out is to slice open the finger & pull it out....and rinse it out with acetone to sterilise it. I dare you to , the next time you cut yourself !!!!! *(A lot different to wood splinters) 11 hours ago, fredk said: Blimey! you lot are dangerous I think y'all should be laced up in straitjackets and locked away in the rubber room to protect yourselves from further harm You were saying??

Contributing Member fredk Posted April 26, 2023 Contributing Member Report Posted April 26, 2023 I'll join in; one time a 5 inch goose feather fletching came off and went into my hand, in that bit between thumb and fore finger. It went in by about 3 inches or slightly more. Because of the way the feather vanes lay you are supposed to pull it out from its front end, but that was deep in my hand, so I just pulled it out back ways. Slight pain, no blood. I poured a teeny bit of whiskey on the wound then onion juice. It healed up quickly, no scar. I was actually shooting again just minutes later. The goose feather was re-used that evening on one of my #3 son's arrows. He wrote on that one 'The Paw Killer' Its years since I shed blud on any of my leather projects. I've learnt that its better for my blud to stay inside me Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

I've learnt that its better for my blud to stay inside me My Mother was spinning some fleece on her spinning wheel one sunny arvo. She was trying to hook some fleece through the spindle to start a new bobbin. To this day, I still dunno how, but she managed to get a piece of the wire hook thingy through her finger . I tried using pliers myself ( without throwing up & passing out ) , but 3 hrs & 3 stitches later in the ER.....

Members SUP Posted April 27, 2023 Author Members Report Posted April 27, 2023 A slight detour from the topic but once, long ago, when I was still in college, I was washing my hands and suddenly noticed bleeding on the base of my palm. It pricked a bit and I finally pulled out a cover-slip about 1 inch by 1/2 inch across! It was embedded in my palm and I have no idea how it got there! Surely I would have noticed a wound large enough to embed it and then to heal over. An absolute mystery to me, even today 40 years later! Anyone else have such mysterious happenings?
