Stupid shop accident
 
Well this is the kind of shop accident that really makes you mad....
I decided to sweep up in the shop yesterday (I know, that was the big
mistake). Unfortunately it is concrete and pretty slick. Well you guessed
it, one foot slipped out from under me. As I stuck my hand out for leverage,
it unfortunately caught the sharp corner of my aluminum saw fence. It caught
my pinky and ripped a nice deep gouge out of it. It bled like crazy so I
figured I better get it looked at...to the tune of 4 stitches. And the day
had started off so well...but then I guess that is why they are called
accidents.
So if someone is bugging you to clean up the shop, you can now honestly say
that the dust and shavings are needed to provide traction.

Be safe..peace.

Stupid shop accident
 
Thats why I decided to broom finish my new shop's floor when I poured the
concrete. I almost went for a smooth finish but decided to broom it since
it saved me some time. Your post makes me even happier with my decision.

Hope you heal up fast.

Kit or a well trained Nurse to hand.

Good advice! Luckily I have both. SWMBO is a surgical technologist certified
for suturing. She keeps sutures and Xylocaine on hand for my bouts of
stupidity.

Nice One George, Why didnt I think of that years ago? ... Now, my

SWMBO is called Nikki (which doesn't fit your explaination very well)
and although not a nursey type she is a Podiatrist so does have a few
odds and sods lying around to patch me up

Mine is a Susan and an RN. She patches me up if I plead or lose
consciousness.
