That's a good rule to live by. I use forstners in my hand drill all the time but only on things that don't need to be held with one hand. Both hands on the drill, keep the meaty bits away, no problems.Quote:
Hand-held tool OR hand-held workpiece, BUT NOT BOTH!
Ouch Wild Dingo, that's making me wince just thinking about it:oo: :( Won't do that again in a hurry....
Good advice Joe, more polite than the old "Never put your finger where you wouldn't put your d*ck first", advice I got as a diesel fitter in the mines (but it sure made you think before switching on a machine!!:roll: )Quote:

It is not often that someone has the presence of mind to capture photographic evidence of their miss deeds BEFORE going to hospital.
Your fortitude is duly recognised. :2tsup:
Owww. Maybe the d'uh check we should all ask ourselves is 'would we do this (insert dodgy task) if everyone on the BB was watching on the webcam?
Hope it feels better soon - that throb is awful.
Your mind was on your shed signs and not on the job!!............Bad Dingo!
I guess if you was a really truely wild dingo, you would have been put down by the trapper.
Well I cant say as that particular thought hadnt crossed her mind lately :C but I saluted her so benny hill like she turned to putty in me hand :;Quote:

Thanks for the safety reminder. And hope it gets better soon. Have a medicinal ale or two, eh?
Ouch, dammit oh wow. Cripes Ding! :no:
Look on the bright side though. You still have your thumb exposed from all that bandaging. No hassles hitting the space-bar, eh?
Ouch :stretcher:
When I cut me thumb off they wouldn't give me morphine until they had taken & replaced the cut-off-bit of the thumb about a dozen times :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( I kept saying "this really hurts here!!!" as the blood ran down my arm & dripped off my elbow into a bucket. :oo:
It wasn't until I finally grabbed the doctor by the throat & reminded him through clenched teeth that it really did hurt, that he thought it prudent to administer morphine.............
God I love morphine!! :U :U :U
I hope it heals well & soon Wild Dingo!
Commiserations on the damage.
I too am amazed at the people who seem to keep a camera on hand to record the damage, and then manage to record the whole thing in such clarity & detail.
I'm usually too busy trying to stem the flow of blood,:oo: plus I don't have dust proof covers for any of my cameras.
It good to learn from your mistakes.:doh: ......It's even better to learn from someone else's mistakes.
Thanks dingo you have saved me the effort and discomfort of drilling my finger with a forstener bit:D
So we are all in agreement that forstener bits arent the sweet and innocent little item we all thaught they were.
OH:no: :o :doh: no the horor show continues:C
cheers
