I was breaking up pieces of wood and I slipped and fell on hte wood and got a nail head shoved into my hand...
then while the nail head was still in my hand I took the liberty of pulling it about two and a half inches through my skin so now I have a kind of "T" shape cut and the skin would open up and you could see inside it was really fun with all the dirt that got stuck up inside there. then I was sliped a few days later and almost ripped the stiches out on some concrete this was just not my week at all..... |

This cut was done whle grinding that damascus carving knife on the first gallery page I was using a sanding wheel on a grinder and the blade being harder than the softer aluminum grinding wheel
(The sandpaper was glued to) and it dug into the wheel spinning at 11,000 Rpm and it was 4 1/2 inched in diameter and the blad caught at around 3 inched from the center of the wheel so u calculate the speed the knife was shoved into my finger.
I searched for the blade before I went to the hospital and couldn't find it. then the next day my mom found it stuck point first into the ground over 30 feet away from where it had been thrown....
I still it around and think it if were shoved into my finger then into mystomach ? or into someone else who was walking by .... Thanks god there was noone around then |

Beautiful isn't it? yeah and I still don't have the feelin back in it or months iIhad a stinging pain that would shoot through it whenever I touched anything I don't know if I got the feeling back or if I just got used to not feeling anything but finally it quit stinging whenever I touched it but that took probably 8-10 months |

Here is an accident waiting to happen if i ever watched on unreavel before my own eyes if you have and hammer with square holes in them you might end up like this.. i still thank god everytime i see that hammer that noone was around me. I noticed the cracks in the hammer right after puting the metal back into the fire then the crack extended half the distance it does now.. I struck the anvil three times and that was more than enough to crack it completely through. the hammer is only being held together by the other side which is broken half way through. my guess is one more good hit or two and it will come completely apart. |
