A slight detour from the topic but once

Thats all good  :) We all have horror stories, that we hopefully learn from:whistle:. I used to be in the fibreglass pool industry. I used to use my leg as a "work bench"  off to the side, to cut cardboard form work for reinforcing etc. using a very sharp ' stanley knife' .   During lunch, I noticed all this blood literally pouring out from under my jeans onto my boot, took forever to find where it was coming from.  There was a tiny cut in my jeans....and in my right leg , just under my knee cap. My knife was so sharp, I didn't even notice. 3 stitches later......

Stay safe :yes:

Sounds painful - later!  Stitches always seem to me to be more painful than actual wounds - that needle pulling through skin - leather too, after all!

My biggest threat is beveling tools LOL I know when they need sharpening  they will slip and jab my fingers  ouch.Fortunately I try to keep up with my sharpening so it doesn't happen to often .

Many many years ago I cut the top of my thumb off on a table saw. I was cutting a long trim board and it kicked back and my thumb kept going forward. They sewed it back on , but to this day I have no feeling in it. Guess maybe that helps when I'm hand stitching and push a needle into it:o:whistle::rofl:

Been wearing these while edging and cutting for years.  I'm sure they have paid for themselves in keeping me out of the ER a few times.  My first pair was given to me by a customer.

I have something similar  and they are really useful. I hate wearing them, though I have recently started doing so. As it is, I do not have much feeling in my finger-tips because of a dog attack and with gloves, I can feel virtually nothing. Feels a little weird, but less weird than seeing blood everywhere and having to search for the wound.

That sounds painful! And having no feeling feels weird, isn't it? Does your smartphone respond to that thumb? Mine doesn't. And that is an idea. Using the non-feeling finger-tips to push needles. Will try that today.
