>> A few years ago I managed to stick my finger under a 3hp circular saw while shifting my grip on a skinny piece of wood. I could feel the individual teeth cutting into my finger tip under the nail. That sensation was pretty gruesome. I didn't get cut too badly because with the super reflexes of the truly frightened, the saw went flying in one direction while me and my finger went in the other. Bled a lot though. >> It probably wasn't sharp enough. Last week my thumb slipped a little onto the blade of my carving knife, and I didn't even know I was wounded until I saw blood on my work. On the other hand, a few weeks earlier I got a sore arm by pinching my thumb between the handles of a pop rivet tool when the rivet gave way. I think the soreness was a consequence of violently pulling my hand away, though I don't recall doing it. The tool went flying into a snowbank, but that was deliberate. ;-) Chuck Holst *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Mar 15 1999 - 10:49:27 PST
