[Loch-Ruadh] a word of warning on tools

[HRAFNASDOT at aol.com]

A warning to all you guys out there - alhough dremmel tools are small - they are just as dangerous as big tools

And since we are on the subject - I am typing one handed and very slow due to an accident tuesday night.  I had an arguement with a dremmel tool, a diamond saw cutting blade and some ornery bone.  I can tell you that bone has a definite grain.  I lost the argument.  1 e-r trip, tetanous shot, HUGE amounts of antibiotic (do you know how expensive keflex is?)and a bandage that looks like i'm  going to go boxing = and I find myself with 3 days of enforced rest.  Did you know you can cut the webbing between your thumb and forefinger over an inch deep (it was so deep you could see the little rubber band thingy under the skin) with a high speed saw and it doesn't bleed?  And that its considered a "puncture" wound rather than a laceration?

After this little fable, I apologize for not showing up for officer's - Robert was late getting off work and we had to pick up rx's.  And although Robert finds me quite funny on pain killers, I don't think I would have retained much of the very excellent treasurer's class.  or been able to contribute anything useful.

I still plan to attend the work shop sat. - i just won't be doing any sewing.

Be careful at the woodworking shop!  You too could loose an arguement with an inaniment object!
