AndyL1 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 It sounds like you need to invite the doctor over for coffee and introduce him to double loop lacing. That would keep it closed and be fashionable! That would be awesome! Quote Blackthorn Leather on Etsy • Blackthorn Leather on Facebook
Members Torquewrench Posted February 8, 2009 Members Report Posted February 8, 2009 u need to keep a roll of black electrical tape handy, wash cut with antibacterial soap, dry completely an butterfly the cut shut with the tape than wrap a piece around to hold butterfly in place the glue from the tape will seal the cut no stitches required (old mechanic trick for battle wounds lol ) About 6 years ageo I cut my finger to the bone and taped it with electriacal tape, company then sent me to Doc. Everyone thought I was crazy for using elect. tape--until Doc. stabs herself while sewing my finger. She freaked out about my blood in her finger.(aids scare) I got her calmed down and told her to take a blood sample and send it off after she cleaned her finger real good. When all said and done I said to her that would not have happened if she would have used medical grade electrical tape!! Quote
Members JayO Posted March 22, 2009 Members Report Posted March 22, 2009 Ooh, nice one. A great opportunity to get out the stitching pony and practice stitching one handed! I have a place to do my leather work set up at my brothers cabinet shop and I used to get some flak from the workers about my odd looking tools and knives til I pointed out that all my cutting tools are designed to cut skin. A couple actually turned a funny shade of pale. John. Quote
Members tonyc1 Posted March 23, 2009 Members Report Posted March 23, 2009 When I want to touch up the blade on my Osborne splitter, I reverse the blade on the frame (like in the photo) and screw it down tight and it doesn't move. It stays right there, nice and secure. Tony. Quote
HARVEY Posted April 7, 2009 Report Posted April 7, 2009 OK, you ALL have convinced me. If I ever have to sharpen a splitter blade, I'm farming the job out to one of you pros. (I had a medic from the 10st Airborne stitch up my wrist one time from a non-combat wound and that was enough for me!) Quote
