Members rawhide1 Posted February 2, 2009 Members Report Posted February 2, 2009 Well I finally got everything in to sharpen my splitter blade. Boy was I happy I went over it with my stones and then used it. I then thought man this can be a little sharper so I wemnt to hone a little more and slipped. Well I bleed like a stuck hog all over the kitchen but I got the bleeding stopped and finally got the wife to stop calling me a dumb**s. But seeing how it happened at 10:00 tonight and I really don't want to pay the ER 3 to 4 hundered dollars for a few stitches I'm hoping my Doc can do it tommorow along with a titnus shot. Lesson learned be careful LOL. Mike Quote

Members rawhide1 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Members Report Posted February 2, 2009 Thanks Luke I hope to only do it once! sodapop I thought about gluing it but it's pretty dang deep and I aint sure if it would good getting the glue down in there. But by the time I get in there tomorrow it may be to late to stitch. Such is life. Mike Quote
MADMAX22 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Thats a good one lol. Good thing it didnt go all the way thru and take a chunk as a souvenier Wrap it up good and keep it moist and you may still get some stitches in it tomorrow morning if ya get it early. Quote
Moderator Johanna Posted February 2, 2009 Moderator Report Posted February 2, 2009 Wade would like to know how did you get the wife to stop calling you names? I think he wants this information because of an incident this weekend involving ice fishing, an auger and a big knot on his head...

Members McJeep Posted February 2, 2009 Members Report Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) an incident this weekend involving ice fishing, an auger and a big knot on his head... Johanna What a great chuckle to start the day with! Thanks fer that! And having been on the receiving end of many many many (ask my wife :0/) tool and sport related "malfunctions", yes I am allowed to laff at other's misfortunes ... so long as neither death or severed limbs are involved ;0) The wife keeps her truck warmed up while I'm working with big tools ... for stitches runs ;0) On a more serious note - this type of thing makes me very glad for the medical we've got north o the 49th - if I had to pay 3 or 400 for stitches, I don't think I'd have a roof over my head! ;0) Edited February 2, 2009 by McJeep Quote "I gotta have more cowbell!"

Members antipaladin Posted February 2, 2009 Members Report Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) Yeah...you just can't buy memories like that. I have two just like it from learning the right way to use a head knife. I'd definitely recommend getting it stitched up though. The one I didn't left a nice visible scar...the other is barely noticeable. Although chicks do dig scars.... Edited February 2, 2009 by antipaladin Quote

Members greg gomersall Posted February 3, 2009 Members Report Posted February 3, 2009 Mike obviously the blade is still not sharp enough due to the fact that you only cut part way thru! peroxide will be handy for a while. Greg Quote
