Youre right there. I cut myself on the back of the thumb with a scalpel blade. The cut was half a cm long but the blood letting was like that scene from Monty Python & the Holy Grail with the Black Knight.
I ended up trying to keep the pressure on it with my other hand at the same time trying to open a plaster with my teeth. By that time I was barely able to stand with my hand over the kitchen sink as I was slowly sinking to the floor beside it LOL

I still have a tiny scar there

I remember cutting my hand open after an incident with a glass door. It couldnt have been more than half a CM, but blood was literally pouring out. Strangely it didnt seem to hurt though. Still bear the scar to this day.

I cut the end off of my middle finger off in pretty much the same incident. But au contraire, IT HURT!!! :sad:

Yeah, I sent a hacksaw blade through my finger while trying to saw a part off of a sprocket which I had held in a pair of mole grips (didnt have a vice or anything else) - wasnt the smartet thing I ever did. Also achieved a similar effect with a Dremel tool with a circular saw blade fitted - again I was holding the workpiece in my hand (maybe I should really consider getting some sort of clamping device now)

Thanks guys, you have made me feel a lot better!

Jamie you really should. Mine cost me £20 and has been exceptionally useful.

You could always try what my momma once did... drilling a hole in a wall while standing on a bad stepladder. She fell, the heavy duty drill fell, both her arm and the drill smashed against the windowsill. Mind you that drill was at least a n° 13...
The windowsill was fine, the drill was bent and momma refused to go to the hospital for her elbow. She spent 6 weeks stubbornly ignoring the pain until it healed by itself.
When now she has something to be drilled she calls in her son-in-law.:wink:

Last night I put the top tray down in the toolbox and trapped my middle finger between the recess for the tray handle and a metal tape measure reel. I didnt know how it got there and couldnt manoevre it out. I nearly had to break my finger to get free.

I once cut my finger straight across on a baked bean can when i was washing it out... That hurt and laods of blood. Had to be bandaged up, made dancing that night no fun with a chunky bandage on my finger, my friends will never let me forget it!
