the humble house workshop #10: happy days

Rarely do I hurt myself on the couch! and remember my moto it will stop eventually LOL.

-- All bleeding will eventually stop.

That’s one of the things I love about hand tools – you’re a lot less likely to do some major damage using them. Glad to hear these were slow speed accidents :)

Whenmy father used to cut himself he used to just let it bleed. I would go into his shop and it looked as if some had been murdered.

Can’t be a real woodworking project unless you put some of your blood into it. Don’t know how many times I’ve cut myself doing dove tails or cutting tenons by hand. Good thing to remember, if your chisel is good and sharp, the wound will heal faster and cleaner. Sorry you hurt yourself, but glad to hear you’re in the shop again.

I thought it was normal to get cut every time I picked up a sharp chisel. I’ve even developed my own shop-made band aids. Its a bit of paper toweling with a strip of masking tape. I’m 100% sure I’m not the first to make these!

You know you are a lumberjock when…

Glad to hear you’re back at work again. Hopefully the creativity you’ve been sharing in your home shop doesn’t get spoiled from the few coins in your pocket!
