Well its still hanging by a flap of skin but let me tell you chicks do not dig these kind of scars! Just wanted to share... lol oh man, i have broken 2 fingers, dislocated one... and once dropped a 25lbs weight on my big toe nail and literally broke it in 1/2 while bare footed in super cold weather while not as embarrassing as putting a 4 inch gash on my head on my last visit to Australia on an industrial strength ceiling fan. That required quite a few stitches. Man I could talk for hours about all this sort of stuff, including that march we did in the Mother Goose Parade with the back of my calf armor stabbing me all the way and developed 2 blisters along the way that was fun wasn't it??

FryGuy Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Drilling through a small (maybe 1.5") fencepost one summer, I was using my hand on the other side to brace against the pressure of the drill. Hit a soft spot in the wood and the drill came out the other side of the wood, into my hand between the ring finger and pinky, and out the other side. It happened so fast that all I could do was stop the drill and look at what I had done. So now I am standing there, looking at this drillbit protruding from the back of my hand but I can't go anywhere because the other end of it is in the drill, which is through the other side of the wood. I realized I had to get the drill out (of both my hand and the wood) so without thinking I did what I normally do to get a stuck drill out: I squeezed the trigger and pulled. That was probably my 3rd or 4th mistake thus far into it. Hand parts went spewing from the spinning drill bit as it came out of the wood. I would say some skin, hand meat, and other parts I didn't want to take the time to identify. I left the drill on my porch and ran inside to clean and dress the wound, trailing BIG blood drops the whole way. It took about an hour before I came back outside to assess the situation. Picture this: mid-July in Myrtle Beach. HOT! Maybe high 90's approaching 100 in the direct sun. You know how drill bits sometimes fill up with wood in the grooves? (it was a big hole I was drilling. 3/4") Well I can tell you that meat and skin do the same thing. And being in the hot sun for an hour actually cooked the fleshy parts inside the drillbit, so when I pulled them out of the drillbit grooves it was like Greg Jerky. Now THAT was a dumb scar!

Smally Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 In the garage not to long back I was trimming an AT-AT helmet with a stanley knife. I was doing it properly with the blade going away from the body. However my pressure on the knife was to much and it went straight through the plastic and into the tip of my left fore finger. When I tell you that the tip was hanging off, I mean HANGING OFF! It was half way through my finger nail. Mangaged to keep the tip and I'm only just starting to get some feeling back! It's a dangerous hobby this trooper stuff! Smally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
