    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.

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