Yesterday I was distracted... (warning - blood)

[Phil Mueller]

You are 100% correct, Simon.

[Ted Phillips]

Absolutely right folks. Because I was distracted, I let my left hand drift into the danger zone. When I hit a little knot in the pine, I shifted my grip and then the chisel slipped - my finger was in the wrong place at the wrong time. As I was feeling the knot in the microseconds before the accident, my Spydie Sense said "Oh, no! What is your left hand doing there?!" Too little, too late...

Thanks for all your well wishes!

[Van Huskey]

Your finger should be honored to have been sliced by such a fine tool.

Sorry you had a bad day, glad to hear it wasn't too bad. Focus is sometimes impossible to hold onto, I have a hard time near the end of a long repetitive stage of a project when my mind starts to wander thinking about the next (usually more fun) stage.
