    I have so far remained reasonably free from harm, and the wife has her own HazMat suit from the Ebola outbreak which I could wear should the need arise.

    Managed to cut my thumb open with a blade, decide the part I was gluing was too critical to leave my station, continued on with one opposable digit then superglued the part to the damaged thumb, neatly closing the wound. Cyanide is a safe material, yes?

    On Saturday I washed my acrylic brush in my latte, forgot I'd done it then drank the coffee. Tasty, amazed Costa haven't added paint to their mixers.

    Back in the day when I was a cabinet maker, I was cutting 2mm MDF with a Stanley knife, slipped and stabbed myself in the, er, left one of which we gentlemen have two (I have also ironed my, er, thing of which we gentlemen have one).

    As my wife is a nurse, I have no chance of sympathy or treatment should something go wrong, so I'm extra careful these days.

        If thinking of these comforts you, then yes. All of 'em.

                Done exactly the same. Only it was a hot day and I had not put my slippers on. So now hot or not it's on with the sheep skin "safety" shoes.
                Another 'nice one' when clipping piano wire hold the littlest end or better still put a bit of tape over it before cutting. I had a bit fly off and plant itself in my forehead!

                    That reminds me of the time I was using a small stapler for something model-related (I don’t remember what it was now ). I had it folded open with the lower “anvil” half out of the way, picked it up and somehow put enough pressure on the top part to shoot a staple out … straight into my thumb. That’s a very odd sight, to see a staple neatly embedded in your flesh, and an even odder feeling having to use some tweezers to pull it out again.
