Damn chisels are sharp, or at least they should be. The good is unless the cut is really deep you usually don't know it has happened until there is blood everywhere. Some of it is old age, if I bump something the skin breaks and I bleed. Then you add in the anti-coagulants I take for AFib and you really can spread some DNA around the shop.
Needless to say I left a trail of evidence a couple of minutes ago. I was moving a piece of wood from the paring stop to position it for chopping the waste from a tail with one hand and holding the chisel in the other (BTW, fresh off the stones) and there was a light brush of my left thumb. Not bad, I didn't know I'd touched the chisel until the blood started showing up. Had to take a break to stem the flow.
Well back to chopping waste....Be careful out there, hear.
