Thoughts on Self-Mutilation

"Sticks out like a sore thumb" is the one everyone recognizes. Here to tell you that should you shave the skin off the end of your index finger while slicing carrots for dinner, it'll be just as tough. Not just at the keyboard, where it's half my typing capability, either.

Free advice, go get your gloves to put on shellac should you do this.

Shellac, disoved in alcohol, cut fingers, ouch, ouch, ouch! See, the shop is safe but cooking can be dangerous to your health. (Or so says my doctor when he looks at my waistline.)

Going to school for a few days, continuing education so I can consider my own type of ministry, so I turned something I could oil up between laundry and meal preparation. Oil didn't bother it a bit, and Susan's bringing home a box of handyman bandages, including a "fingertip" bandage. Not tamarack, just yellow birch. Have to turn some tamarack again someday.

George, Mutilation implies that the injury was your intention. Perhaps you meant 'self-injury?' Either way, for the latter you see a physician, for the former a psychologist! Dan

George Nice work. I have not turned one of those for a long time, too long methinks. One of these days I have to start a friends gallery on the web site. I never seem to find things like this again when I want to. What kind of size are these?

Size, measured while the coffee brews, is ~5x7x3. Your "work in progress" reminded me I hadn't done one in a long time, so I grabbed a split off the ready firewood stack.

Sorry about the kitchen hazard, George...

Might I add that with injuries like those, you don't clean CA off your fingers with acetone, either... DAMHIKT

But if you do rub sawdust into CA and leave it on your fingers, don't expect to be able to use the touchpad on your portable computer. Go to the mouse.
