Every time I buy a new tool, I accidentally cut myself and bleed on it. After that, I never seem to have any problems with them. It’s just the big tools, not a hammer or something. It’s like the tool gods demand a sacrifice or something. So odd. -- You can get more with a kind word and a 2 by 4, than you can with just a kind word. |

It’s not whether you’ll get cut today, just how much will you bleed and on what tool or part you’re making. -- Robert - Haven Wood Crafts |

It seems to happen to me. As long as the cut is not caused by “stupid” it usually isn’t too bad. -- I don't know where I'm going but I'm on my way! |

same here it happens to me too, if it’s not a cut it’s a real bad bump that hurts for awhile. -- Ike, Big Daddies Woodshop, http://www.icombadaniels@yahoo.com |

I know what you mean when you talk about the blood, but it seems to me, all my new tools like to be damaged a little bit on their first use. I’m not kidding. I think every single thing I’ve bought has been damaged in the first 24 hours they’re in the shop. I’d go in to detail, but better not. |
