lol, that was me.

I have a scar from that.

No way... someone else was drilling something while holding it - slipped and drilled his palm - wasn't that Countdown???

Not unless I'm not remembering it happening to him... that's definately what I did though.

I was drilling out the hole of a resin E-11 frontcap. I intended to stop and turn it around to finish it... but it broke though like a 1/4" before the back so I was totally shocked.

Drill met hand.

That's the original "ouch!!!" thread. Hand is on page three.

Ouch, the worst I've had happen is getting a tiny bit of solder on my hand. Still xwing did you really drill your hand?

Aside from saber building I've had my fair share of mishaps. I know the craziest one is when I was using a bb pistol. Don't know if this counts or not but here it is anyway. Sometimes I have to chase neighbor dogs off with a bb gun because they try to get my cats. Yes they let their dogs run wild unless it's a big dog like a pitbull. I can kinda look over the little dogs that chase my cats because they're rat terriors. Anyway I was shooting at one a few feet away from my grandparents van. I'm sure you know where this is going. I fired a shot a little too close to the back windshield and busted it out. None of the main glass hit me except for a little sliver that was almost impossible to see without the little microscope I was using. I felt something the next day in my finger like it was scratching my skin. Finaly I got out my little microscope and a needle. Dug it out with the needle while looking through the microscope. Sure enough it was a little tiny piece of glass. Needless to say my grandparents and mom where a little disappointed. Nonetheless they got their windshield replaced and there you have it.

I was using an inherently dangerous tool... does that give him or me the bonus points?

Goldsaber, Yup! I certainly did "drill" my hand. Look at the thread I linked.

Moral: Clamp you parts no matter how simple!

Yes clamps work, vices are great but if you got neather use your foot to hold it in place, Your nads are more important that your foot.

Imagen trying to do alot of things thru the day with only one hand. its very tough.

Your nads are more important that your foot.

How very true, but not what you meant to say.
